[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NOVA native here- 53 and in Alexandria. DMV is 100% a new thing used by transplants. No one born here before 1980 would ever use that stupid term. The DMV is where you get your license.[/quote] I'm a 20 year transplant to DC and [b]I don't even hear the DC transplants using it[/b]. I think the M and the V are doing the heavy lifting with this term. This is the kind of context I've heard it. "Where are you from?" (Us) "New York and Los Angeles but we've been living in DC the past 20 years." "Awesome, we are also in the DMV!" "Nice, whereabouts?" "Gaithersburg"[/quote] Of course not. The transplants get all their self worth from telling people they 'live in the District.'[/quote]
