That's called Jamais vu, the opposite of Deja vu ;)
Virginia became "vergina" for me.
Me when I’m coding:
Bro, is that a word?
Westsiiiiide W
United Virginias of America
You got Virginia wrong. It should be East West Virginia.
Came here to say this
“Big Virginia” is what they called me in high school
-ia
The irony of your comment is that in my understanding it, we know whether it applied to me in high school, anyway.
Virginian resident here, WE OWN YA'LL!
/s
They should have called your state East Virgina
No
"OD Virginia"
Recognize!
/we are the "Old Dominion"

/s just having fun!
I would have thought West Virginia was more appropriate for OD'ing :)
Dark I Like it!
Also WV illegally secede from VA during the Civil War.
To be fair, Virginia illegally seceded from the Union. Illegally seceding from an illegal secession makes you a patriot I think.
Regardless we want them back. My argument is thin I agree.
But I live 1 town out of WV so I can jump ship if I have too. VA is becoming a silly place.
I'm still trying to bring back Mega Virginia.
You know what, I'm down. I think life in Mega Virginia will probably be better than life in Indiana now. Can we also do Long Massachusetts?
Not calling Hawaii "Wet Virginia" is a tiny blemish that is only visible because it's the only one
Alaska should be northest westest Virginia.
Unless you're considering the farthest point of the archipelago, and then it's northest eastest Virginia.

West West West West West West West West Egypt needs to work on their energy grid
Country Road..... Take me home....

Fuck it I'm moving to Canada.

Can we go to squared, cubed, etc notation?
Eg South^2 Virgina.
South^3 Virginia.
If Virginia ever splits again we're gonna be in for some pain
I literally have been laughing at this and the comments for 20 minutes I can't stop I'm crying real tears. The mountain mountain mountain mountain mama comment took me out. 🤣
We now need a Virginia-based coordinate system. Lats and longs centered on Virginia.
Lol I love Hawaii and alaska
I think the progression should be in folowing order: Virginia - West Virginia - North West Virginia - West North West Virginia. And so on
So just prefixing the one closer. It looks way better(silier) and actualy explains what state is this one next to.
...my sister-cousins'll vouch for west west virginia...
Well, Virginia should be renamed “East Virginia” based on this logic.
The future Virgins want smh my head
As a direct descendant of Rev. David Rice, I approve.
This is so stupid 🤣 now do country's
The United States according to Tars Tarkas, Jeddack of Mars.
This post did make me wonder about something related to American history. Maybe someone can she some light on this.
In my understanding the colonization of the Americas was a bit of a blank slate, I can understand some areas being name after Indian names (Delaware) and some from their former colonial history (Louisiana).
Buy why have several terrorists (Virginia, Carolina, Dakota) ben divided north/south? Was there some kind of internal political struggle that caused a divide? Why did they stick to the name?
Virginia supremacy.
