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

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.

You’ve got to be kidding. Going to Annapolis feels like watching a theatrical musical that takes place in 1965. It’s a mixture of working-class waterbillies, affluent old money whites who are culturally the same as the waterbillies but wealthier, and minorities concentrated in public housing out of sight and out of mind. It’s the most hyper-segregated part of Anne Arundel County as well. The current AACPS redistricting is getting very controversial because it might tackle segregation between Annapolis and South River High Schools — something neither side is happy about. Private school usage among whites in Annapolis is high. Annapolis is a southern city at its core.

Crofton and Odenton are newer suburbs that are very much along the path of suburban sprawl out of DC. More of the upper-middle-class Asian, Middle Eastern, and Indian immigrant families in Anne Arundel County choose to move to communities like Crofton and Odenton because of their schools and their commuter friendliness to DC and Fort Meade.

Annapolis definitely feels blue collar and redneck, don’t know what you guys are taking about. About 50% of the people you’ll see there have tattoos, the food scene is 90% bar and pub food, there are no high end/sophistic restaurants, and it feels like a rustic town from the south.

I was gonna say. Odenton and Gambrills are very much DC suburbs in Anne Arundel County. It feels more like a part of Montgomery County there. Same with Crofton.

More Bawlmer than DC. Sure, they all take the MARC into DC for work, but the vibe is definitely more Glen Burnie and Pasadena. Lots of purple camo on when the Ravens are playing.

They’re not. Look at the demographics and a voter map. West Anne Arundel County is the most progressive and consistently blue voting area within Anne Arundel County now. Annapolis is significantly more Trumpy and doesn’t have as many people with college degrees as Crofton and Odenton do. Communities like Piney Orchard, Two Rivers, and Crofton significantly changed the demographics of the area.

No, not really Odenton, Crofton, and Gambrills boomed during a completely different time period than Glen Burnie and Pasadena did. Glen Burnie and Pasadena are some of the oldest suburbs in Anne Arundel County and they are pure Baltimore suburbs. The former areas were nothing but farms until the 70s and took off during building booms in the 90s and 2000s. The rednecks you see in Glen Burnie and Pasadena come from Baltimore white flight. The rednecks you see in an area like Crofton or Odenton are more like white flight from Bowie, Greenbelt, Lanham, etc.

And to be honest, these areas feel less redneck than Olney, Poolesville, and Damascus.

This plus educated people from Baltimore do not say Warshington or "warshe the clothes" instead of wash. But the ladies I know that did not go to college that work blue color type jobs all say "warsh" its just a thing

I love “warsh.” Almost as much as “acrosst,” err, across.

And honestly even Edgewater as well. Edgewater is a weird place where rednecks and DC professionals who live in mccraftsmens homes that look out of place and like they were dropped of from Bethesda mix together.

Baltimore has at least two distinct accents. The traditional white Baltimore accent is noticeably different from the traditional Black Baltimore accent, even though there’s some overlap.

For the Baltimore accent, look up "aaron earned an iron urn" on youtube.

Most of Annapolis is fairly new with people not from there.

It's not too different than Philly/Delco. When I moved from northern Maryland to NoVa as a child, a teacher singled me out for pronouncing "water" as "wooter." Had to stand up and say "wa-ter" five times in front of the rest of the class. Damn near child abuse.

OMG, so fragile
