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.
A piece of bone cracked your tooth?
Your genetics must be absolutely terrible. I feel awful for you.
It happens more than you clearly think. Said tooth could have already been compromised by an existing restoration

Ehh, there are quite a few Rs in Del Ray. Pretty much every military member votes red.
This is an outright lie.
And a really annoying stereotype.

I hope you end up in a fiery inferno of your own making.

Toyota makes the Camry. I don't drive a fast car. It has a 4 cyl engine. I can['t race any fast car on an open road but I'm usually much better at getting through traffic and keeping the guy I'm racing from passing me. It's an art. A lot of people with fast cars are really bad drivers so it's fun to F with them.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:I'm one of the most aggressive drivers on the road.

Thanks for being so horrible and making it impossible to show my teen how to drive on the road when people like you exist. Rules are in place for a reason.

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

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.

They started using those slogans in the last 10 years.

I discuss money (not in a bragging way, but if I got a good bargain or felt ripped off by the prices in a restaurant).

Anonymous wrote:DMV makes sense for a radio broadcaster talking to their broad audience. Why would anyone use it in real life though?
Radio broadcasters are also typically from someplace else and moved here for a job. That’s how the radio and local TV business is - nearly all the people you see on TV or hear on the radio came from someplace else. That’s how idiotic things like “DMV” get perpetuated. People with a lot of exposure on the radio or TV use it, and it becomes a thing.

WTF are you talking? "DMV "surfaced in the last 5 years. Before that, it was where you registered your car. Dc id DC. I'm born and bred Fairfax and no local would ever use that term. Unless they were black.
Wrong
Nope.

Georgetown cupcakes are 100% a tourist thing at this point. Everybody local knows they are the worst cupcakes in the area.
I have a local friend who loves them, which surprised me, because I also thought they were a tourist thing only.
