[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3rd generation here.  My parents and grandparents refer to DC as the District.  Sometimes I do too, but mainly we call it DC or just, downtown (we now live in the suburbs).  “Downtown” simply refers to DC and is not neighborhood specific at all.  We’ve never, ever used “DMV”.  If anything, we say “the DC area” when talking to those who live elsewhere.

Really sick of transplants insisting those of us who have lived here for generations are somehow using the wrong terminology.  [/quote]

Another 3rd generation native here.  I could have written this post word for word.  Exactly my experience.[/quote]

No. One. Cares.

You seem to care a lot, since you are still reading and commenting 7 pages into this thread!

Lol[/quote]

I’m dropping in because I’m really amused that there are people who are so finicky about something this stupid.[/quote]

Backpedal, make excuses, lie.

Sure you are, sweet cakes.

What a riot![/quote]

Oh you’re making this so much better. I love it. [/quote]

Keep it up, Loserboots![/quote]

Love it! [/quote]
