Before I clicked this thread, I knew it was either going to be sayings from a completely upper middle class mostly White demographic or completely a native SE/NE DC Black demographic.
Here are some things the native Black ghetto crowd in DC might say:
"You can wear Nike boots with everything. They go with errything." (although Polo boots might have put Nike boots out of business)
"I can't wait till them new Foams drop"
"Baltimore is some bamas"
"New York bamas always coming down to DC on Howard Homecoming weekend"
"Run that North Face cuz" (you probably don't want to hear that walking alone in NE/SE DC at night)
"Backyard band be rockin'!!!"
"You almost got hit by that Crown Vic, you lunchin' like sh*t"
"It's DC, only bamas from MoCounty, PG and VA rep the DMV"
You beat me to it lol. Idk wtf the first vid was. I guess that's the "other DMV area" But **** the black girls say was ACCURATE.
Although it annoys me, that's how a lot of black DC/DMV girls are. smh.
yea this vid was dead on..
i was thinking bout this video yesterday too..was on the blueline to addison rd and swear i heard about half these phrases. i was gettin a nice lil chuckle out of it lol
The two "S**t people in DC Say" videos encapsulates everything you want to know about DC.
The first video represents the interests and behavior of the white yuppie, transplant class. So superficial. So divorced from the reality of suffering that goes on daily.
The second video (supposedly) represents the interests and behavior of the poor black female in DC. It would have more authenticity if there was a female doing the mocking.
And folks...there's not much in between in The District. White and black people in The District do not speak the same "language". They do not share the same world even though only a zip code separates them.
The yuppie transplants care about brunches and the Friday food truck run while the DC natives who don't have a job worry if they will have dinner tonight.

Coldbliss, don't forget the gentrifyers who have broken through the zip code barrier in their covert racist operation. I gentrify HARD in the 20001. All day baby.

Clearly you didn't see the majestic food stamp grocery cart mountains of Shaw before they tore down our Giant.
Also, I brunch at a food truck. I'm on some next level sh&t.
