[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever Annapolis lacks in dialect, Glen Burnie, Pasadena (AKA Dirty ‘Dena), Odenton, Gambrills, Crownsville, Edge”Wooder” and others more than compensate.

Sorry, no. Odenton and Gambrills aren't lumped into this group, people in this area don't "warsh their clothes in the wooder." [/quote]

Odenton, AKA “Odorton,” spelled backwards is “Noten a’ do,” definitely has  some Bawlmoreese going on.  There is also some redneck, Obama hatin’, crab pick in’ rednecks.  You can’t be that close to Glen Burnie and escape it.  It’s definitely a weird mix, kind of like Waldorf.  You have the natives, lots of fed and military transplants and lots of people who have fled cities for the suburban life.[/quote]

That part of AACO reads more PG County to me. It’s where the white flight occurred for those who didn’t want to move down to Calvert or Charles County. If you were white and grew up in Bowie, you really “made it” if you moved to Odenton/Crofton. [/quote]

Odenton has changed, but lots of it is very insular.  I’ve met natives from Odenton and Glen Burnie who couldn’t locate Montgomery County on a map and have barely heard of Bethesda and Silver Spring.  If it doesn’t involve the Ravens/Orioles, crabs, beer and MAGA it’s out of their purview.[/quote]
