DP: No travel sports or interest therein. I like my sleep and free time. People who do them are mindless zombies who can't think for themselves.


And most of the kids don’t play sports at college.

I would have to wear a scarlet H.


I bought some Ben’s Chili Bowl half smokes from Costco a couple of months ago. One of them had some bone in it that cracked my tooth. I have just had a crown fitted as a result. So I too now hate Ben’s Chili Bowl half-smokes.

I think Ben's chili is just awful.

It would be a sin to sneer at calling it the DMV.

You must be a transplant.

4th generation from DC and I don’t call it the DMV and get annoyed at those who do.


+1000

No greater sign of someone being a transplant than calling the region "DMV."


How do you explain all of the people who aren’t transplants that have used it for decades?


I’ve never heard a non transplant use that term unless it’s someone under the age of 25.


Way to tell on yourself that you have zero black friends.

Scarlet F for you.

That’s probably the biggest sin on DCUM if you are a woman.


Scarlet B (bodyshamer) for you.

Well over half the women in the USA are overweight and a significant percentage are morbidly obese.

DC is no exception; you just have to get out of N.W. and visit the other 3 quarters.

A local variety of smoked pork and beef sausage usually grilled and eaten on a hot dog bun.


Like a cross between a hot dog and a kielbasa? Gross



No, not like that. Are you midwestern ?


No, I’m from here. Are you midwestern?


No, I’m from here. Why would you think anything is like a kielbasa?


It kind of is like a cross of those two things. Like a more intense hotdog.

Same

I also hate Georgetown Cupcakes


Georgetown cupcakes are 100% a tourist thing at this point. Everybody local knows they are the worst cupcakes in the area.


Did they steal a crappy recipe from Magnolia Bakery in NYC? Mediocre "Sex and the City" tie-in red velvet 🧁 🧁 🧁.
