I use the term Southern MD to describe every where around me. Three counties that are surrounded by water. Interesting thread, If we have Eastern MD, Western MD, and Southern MD, where is Northern MD. Baltimore I guess, and no offense to anyone from there, I have heard the city described as the armpit of MD. I'm sure that was meant in a nice way though.

Maryland only has a western shore when you are on the Eastern shore. Grew up over there. Only the chicken-neckers, a term we used to describe the people who clogged up our roads every weekend in the summer, didn't know that. But now I guess I am one of them since I live in Annapolis. It's still about as far as I could stand being from the shore. I would move back over there in a heartbeat but would probably hang myself with in a week of driving across the ditch on the bay bridge every day.

Chicken neckers, I like that and might have to use it.

Ahhh, chicken neckers and tourons! One of our favorite pranks when we were teenagers was to sit at a redlight on Rt 50 on a Friday night in beach traffic, and say just loud enough with the windows down "Screw this traffic, let's take the shortcut and we'll be in OC in half the time." Then we'd drive to Taylors Island or Hoopers Island and count how long the line of cars behind us was!

I was on the Eastern Shore yesterday on my way to Bethany beach and I noticed a "fowl" odor while passing a freshly fertilized field. It's been a while since I've been there in the spring. I see that their still using chicken sh** to fertilize their fields, WOW!! Do you ever get used to that smell? In the 80's I hunted quail and rabbits around Selbyville,DE and remember the smell but I guess I never got use to it.

It's okay, just not as good a smell as salt marsh at low tide.

I think I may have been the one who used the term here. ;D
I've been spending too much time on the shore I guess. All it means to me is the west side of the Bay.
Another term I constantly hear is "Baltimoron". I bet I hear that word used about 50 times a year on the shore.
