Northern Virginia is not in the South.
cite?
You don't seriously expect me to give a citation for that, do you?
No I wouldn't expect you to because it IS in the South...I can find lots of cites that back that claim up. Unless we change the meaning of what "the South" is, Virginia, all of it...even NOVA, is in "the South". That's the whole farking point of saying "cite"...well, most of the time. Sometimes it's curiosity I guess. It's like calling BS politely, but giving the person doing the BSing a chance to prove their BS.
"The South" is cultural, and as thus, cannot be cited. I emphatically believe that NoVA is not Southern.
The South, to me, is everything in the Former Confederacy + Oklahoma. I also call MO, KY, WV, MD, and DE Border States.
