Zero natives I know use this term, so hopefully this was posted as a mark of the opposite?

Yeah, that's more of something that people who moved here after college, but maybe have lived here for a while, use.

If you grew up here you're too old for it to feel natural, even though it's been around a while.

My kids who are DC natives and are now in college and grad-school say "DMV".

+1. It's a stupid thing used by young blacks.

Washington vs DC

Insufferable and incorrect. Alexandria is the oldest part of DC, not Georgetown.

What is it about insecure transplants from Ass Crack, Ohio, coming to DC and trying to hijack our history?

Because you got it wrong!

It's pure DC to show up and attempt to tell everyone that you know better than anyone else. Peak Dunning Kruger.

If you want to claim Georgetown predates Alexandria, be my guest. But don't let your feelings hurt when people laugh at you.

Yeah. The hometown industry is politics. Our parents worked in it or adjacent to it. Our friends parents did too. It’s what you talk about at work. You don’t need to live and breathe it. I also think the 2nd+ generation political types are also by far the most practical and reasonable. Very few right or left ideologues. Nearly all hate Trump though.

I have never noticed this difference but now have seen it twice on this thread.
DC people are more anxious toget going and get ahead even when it's illogical?

If you drive a ridiculous monstrous truck or SUV like so many people around here do you should absolutely not be stopping that close to the line. The entire crosswalk will be in your blind zone:

Those are some short school kids.

That's probably why they're distinctly labeled "preschool" children right there on the picture you decided to comment on without reading.

The scary thing is that people as inattentive and dimwitted as you are allowed to drive those monster trucks.
