Alphabet

The DMV. To me that used to only mean the Department of Motor Vehicles, as it is known in California and other states. Now some people use it to denote "DC/MD/VA" or the "Metro" area of Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. In the map below you can see the little diamond that is DC with the surrounding counties in the metro area. Montgomery, Frederick, Howard, Anne Arundel, and Prince George's counties are in MD and the other counties are in Northern Virginia, also known as NOVA.


In Maryland, the Department of Motor Vehicles, where you go to get your license, is the MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration). As I mentioned previously, when you go to the MVA you can get a license with a blue crab on it! Similar to this sample:
