Welcome! I grew up there also, and just moved back last year. For as much is a hated it for being rural(ish) back then, I love it now for the same reasons. It pretty much is like a little pocket of people who think they are in the South though.
I was born and raised in southern maryland. People there definitely believe they are from the south. Same if not worse for those from Tennessee.

I’ve lived almost as far south as you can get in the cont U.S. for the past 30 years and it’s more like the north. I think Georgia and Alabama are considered the deep south. They forget there’s another 400 miles of country south of them.
I lived in St. Mary's county for over a decade.

I always laughed when I grew up on the nc/sc border, and came to college in Pa. My classmates from MD thought they were real southerners lol.

Dela-where is north of the Mason-Dixon. However it is in its' own zone.

There's definitely plenty of delusional northerners in Maryland, no argument there. As mentioned earlier, plenty of them in North Carolina too.

I never felt I was a southern living in MD and still live in Southern MD. But being in southern MD I felt like a MD southerner. Lol

But other forums I was on. They always called us north eastern

So if you live near Pittsburgh Pa anything south of the Burgh yinz would be south and dont walk off the path because the jaggers (thorn bushes) will stick ya. So relax and have a pop (soda).
True story, 30 years agoi was in the swiss apls on a incline, and i heard a man use yinz in a sentence. I walked over to him and said holy **** are you from the burgh? He was, i felt like a huge hick, then I thought big deal im in swiss apls! 🤣 look at me now buying a ram like a big shot!
I would have done the same thing! Asked him where bouts dahntahn he was from. He'd probably have looked at me cross-eyed when I told him I was from mars lol
