What idiot called our area the DMV?

I'm really sick of hearing "the DMV" from people. What idiot decided to coin the term? There's a better shorthand: the Capitol Area.

I first heard this about 3 years ago on WJFK...nothing says you're not from here more than using this expression.

Seriously. People get tired of "NOVA", DMV is worse. MVD, or VMD would be infinitely better in and of themselves.

"Tri-State" doesn't really work because D.C. isn't a state.

Honestly, as a Virginian, I don't particularly want to be associated with either of my neighbors.

We live in the suburbs of Washington,DC.

This area exists from living off the federal goverment handouts. Deal with it.

Furthermore, Tri-State is a damn generic term:

It annoys the living hell out of me whenever I hear it. Fortunately no one has ever used the term with me in person.

"We live in the suburbs of Washington,DC."

Better add WV then, as it's far closer to DC than Delawhere...

I travel a lot for work. I always tell people that I live in Virginia. I used to say DC. But they always assume I am a federal employee and want to bitch. I hate Virginia and DC. But saying Virginia seems to be the lesser of two evils.

Just tell whoever that you are from DC. Most people not from here would consider the suburbs part of DC anyway. Look at a city like New York or Chicago... the city sprawls far from the urban core, but, that area is Chicago or New York to an outsider.

The burgeoning acronym seems to be getting a lot of play in the black community. I hear it on the radio on the rare occasion that I scan by a DC hip hop station and pause...and that is now my connection with the phrase - an inner city acronym for folks who feel left out every time they hear some idiot say "the ATL".

It's a ridiculous acronym, adopting the worst possible ordering of those three letters...and ending up with the same acronym as one of the most despised departments in each of the 50 states. Morons.

It's also ridiculous, since there is no fucking DMV. There is DC and the shithole parts of Maryland connected to it...with coincident levels of crime...and that area stands alone. Montgomery County has little in common with that inner city area...and Northern Virginia has its own identity that is distinct from both DC and bed-wetting Montgomery.

I proudly say that I am from Northern Virginia...and even the most ardent critic of Nova has got to admit that it's a hell of a lot better than DC and Maryland. Don't ever fucking butt my V up against your shithole DM.

At least DC is smart enough to know they suck ass. There are plenty of places in NOVA that are as bad as the worse of DC. So shove your V up your shit tube.

Let me give you the highlights of my county...

Fairfax County:

- First county in the United States to reach a six-figure median household income

- Curremntly the second-highest median household income of any local jurisdiction in the nation (second only to Loudoun...also in Nova)

- Highest life expectancy for males in the nation (81.1 years)

- Annual corporate revenue of 100 billion dollars

- Home to numerous IT companies, including Amazon and Google.

- Higher concentration of high-tech workers than Silicon Valley

- HQ location for literally thousands of IT companies...1200 IT companies headquartered in Tyson’s Corner alone.

- Crime in 2011 - all-time low. 11 murders...all concentrated in the few atypical shithole areas. Prince George's county had 13 murders...in the first 12 days of 2011. They had 106 that year....with an 8-year average of one every 68 hours.


I could go on and talk about how our kids have higher SATs, graduation rates, and success in college...and even higher when we filter out those atypical shithole areas...but you aren't listening...and I can't hear you anyway because I am laughing...MANIACALLY.

Now get the fuck out there and cut my lawn...bitch.

Nice place if you enjoy the illegal locust. This area has not heart, keep smelling the fumes sitting in traffic and telling yourself this area is great.

I could not say in any better my self, brother.

The blacks are the ONLY people who refer to the surrounding area the "DMV." To regular people, that acronym stands for the Department of Motor Vehicles, a place where no soul wants to go.

No I won't, what the hell are you going to do about it?

I will continue to drive to Virginia everyday, take money from your fucked-up state, fuck your stupid women (who are so dumb and give it up so easily, by the way), speed on and litter your filthy streets and cut your dumb asses off whenever I can, but go back to my beautiful Maryland at the end of each day.

There is not a goddamned thing you can do about it so just suck it up and deal with it.

And for good measure, I will post here and piss you off from time to time, HA HA HA HA HA

Yep, this douche is most certainly a Marylander.

What the fuck are you talking about? It is properly called the Capitol area. Or do you not know the difference, jackass?
