[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“The DMV” is part of black vernacular.

WV is literally one of the whitest states in the country.

So no, not part of the DMV. No soul.[/quote]

When was this coined? DC Native and did not ever hear until maybe 5-10 years ago. I am in my 40s.

I am from actual DC, so I didn't really even know the difference between MD and VA until I went to UVa.

Sorry not sorry. [/quote]

You were just out of the loop, Dear. 
Fellow DC native, 4 generations, and I've known of the DMV since the 90s.
Go-Go bands always referenced the DMV in songs and it wasn't just 5-10 years ago LMAO

NP: Well "Dear", born and raised in Montgomery County, went to HS in DC, went to College Park for college. Children born at G'Town. I've been around for 56 years so yeah, I am a NATIVE. It was never ever called DMV ever. That is actually Dept of Motor Vehicles. It wasn't until the last few years on DCUM did I start to see this reference and at first I really did think they were referencing motor vehicles.  It was always called "the DC area" [/quote]

I’ve been here over 30 years. I also didn’t start hearing the term DMV used for something other than dept of motor vehicles until the 2000s. DC area is what I heard everyone including all the WV commuters to Arlington and Suitland call it. Anecdotally, I feel like I know fewer people commuting from WV today. So to me, it seems more like they are being pushed out. This area today less inclusive on several fronts. [/quote]
