Keep crankin' that GO-GO! When gentrification came to a DC neighborhood, the new residents felt the need to try and tamp down a local store's LEGENDARILY TRADITIONAL habit of playing local music into the streets. How dare they! CLEARLY, they don't know DC NATIVES, and they SHO NUFF didn't know what they were up against!

Ay Youngin'! DC Natives know when you're clowning around or straight actin' a fool...YOU'RE LUNCHIN'! Act like you've got some sense. Sho You Right!

D.C. is THOROUGH! All day. ERRYDAY!

DC Natives the world OVER know the nickname The City was blessed with by an OH-SO Intergalactic Explorer Back in The Day! As the lingo drives home, it's not an occasional thing of possessing the state of mind of being a Washingtonian. It's an ALL DAY THANG! 24 /7 like SEVEN ELEVEN! Represent!

Wha'choo know about that Go-Go swing?! My playful treatment of a DC Go-Go CLASSIC! Hit that Go-Go beat and start the call & response. You know you know the lyrics. Sho You Right!

YOU know what it is! Some remember the 'U' but use the 'A' for legal reasons. Others use the 'A' but still pronounce it with the 'U". And some even dropped the 'U' and the 'A' and use an 'O'! It's all good, cuz if you're from The District you know our hometown sauce and how to get down with it. Here's DistrictNative's Sauce. It goes by other names, but to stay safe, we'll call it Citizen Sauce for now.

Sho You Riiiiiight! 3-word linguistic gold that ALL DC Natives can recognize and relate to. When you know what things are going good and they can't get no better, a fist-pump is good, but dropping "Sho You Right" drops the correct beat, and keeps the goodness of LIFE going.

"BUMPIN'!" If something was a bit beyond COOL, and easily considered'FRESH", in D.C. it was, "BUMPIN'" Like all phrases and words that shape our youth, "bumpin'" was SO DC no place in the country could rock with that word. Yeah, "COOL" is ubiquitous and has transcended DECADES as its use has gone worldwide. But "BUMPIN'" is distinctly D.C. and if you know, then you know. Sho You Right!

"OH , YOU JONIN'!? Growing up in DC there's NO WAY you didn't hear these words! Some people (TRADITIONALLY) call it THE DOZENS; Up North they call it RANKIN'. But when you're talking trash about someone ( good or bad, Friend or Foe), once you start poppin' off at the mouth!? IT'S ON!! Sometimes in good fun. Sometimes not so much. If you're the recipient of harsh words or criticism, and you didn't participate? It's all good, because chances are, it'll happen again. Better learn them words, Youngin'!

DC Natives KNOW, when you're excited you're SICED! Sometimes its a good thing, sometimes you get joked about it. WHATever the case, being SICED is definitely what this tee is all about! Some spell it "psyced" because of the "psychological" twist to thinking. That may be another design. (*smiles!)
