I don't feel like this is lying ir false speech or anything. I am from the suburbs of a medium sized city but distinctly not from that city, as my home is across across the river and in a different state. Still when I travel and people ask "where are you from?" answering that I'm from that city is the easiest way to give the correct picture. Someone making polite conversation doesn't want to hear this explanation, if I'm chatting with an Uber driver I'll just say the city because it's easier, if I'm making new friends I would explain. I don't think there is any lie in either explanation it's just different shades of a communication in a world full of non-binary situations.
- agentwiggles 4y agoAre you from Cincinnati / Covington area?. That's the first place that came to mind based on "across the river and in a another state"
- bin_bash 4y agoThere are tons of these places: New York, Portland, Memphis, St Louis. Major rivers tend to be state lines as well as population centers.
- agentwiggles 4y agoThat's true, I'm probably just betraying my bias from my own home state by what comes to mind first :)
- Timpy 4y agoActually you were right, I am talking about NKY/Cincinnati
- agentwiggles 4y agoHah! My Ohio bias pays off for a change!
