[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised by how many DC license plates I see at Tysons. There is shopping in DC. They can take the metro to Pentagon City. And yet still so many DC residents decide to drive all the way out to Tysons to shop. [/quote]

DC residents are everywhere in VA malls and grocery stores. They are so annoying with their nasty attitudes.

How can you tell we're from DC? Our cars are outside but our attitudes are inside?[/quote]

Yes. Easily identified by the attitude, dialect and clothing. [/quote]

??Dialect?? Is this code for something?
[/quote]

No. It says exactly what is meant.[/quote]

Please explain the differences in dialect between DC and Northern Virginia, lol.[/quote]
Is this a serious question?

Maybe some of the differences in accents has faded a bit in the last decade, but no one disputes that there are distinctive Maryland, DC and VA accents. [/quote]

And Northern Virginia, Montgomery and PG all have the same DC regional accent.  Baltimore and Southern Virginia are different regions.  The old DC area accent is mostly gone though.[/quote]
The PG County accent is distinct from Moco and also distinct from DC.

Virginia also does not have just one accent. Accents in Virginia Beach, Richmond, Appalachia and Shenandoah Valley are different and each can bleed into NOVA. There is also a separate and distinct NOVA accent that is fading away, but Senator Chuck Robb was a good representative as someone that grew up in Fairfax.[/quote]
