I used to say DC, but when I moved to California I began saying “Washington, DC” because DC is local lexicon, I realized.

They don’t know DC is the nations capital?


Get out of your bubble. "DC" is not a place, and it's presumptive to think that everyone knows what you mean, especially if you are traveling internationally.

Maryland but if someone asks were I say right outside DC. Washington is the city name but most confuse it with the state so DC makes more sense.

Depends on who I'm talking to and what I know or assume their frame of reference will be.

I say I live "just outside Washington," and then sometimes people ask "Washington state?"

If I lived outside Washington state, wouldn't that mean I lived in Oregon? And I'd say "Oregon"?

DC, but I find a lot of people don’t understand what I am saying, so then I say Washington DC.

DC.

If you say you're from Washington, its the state. Also I mostly clarify I 'live in D.C.'. Most people aren't from here.
