14th Street DC's definitions
703 is an area code that covers the Northern Virginian areas of Arlington, Alexandria City, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Manassas City, parts of Loudoun, Stafford, and Faquier. It was the original area code for the whole state of Virginia, but it was then split from the southern area of the state in 1973 to create area code 804. Area code 703 was split again in 1995 to create 540, and it's current footprint in Northern Virginia. Due to the increase of residents in the Northern Virginia area, it had to be overlaid in 2000 to prevent further splitting of the area code to just the cities of Arlington and Alexandria. It is preferred to have a 703 number than a 571 number for people in Northern Virginia, and some people go great lengths to avoid the 571 stigma as many people see it as a cell phone area code, or as an outcast area code.
Many people show their pride for the Northern Virginia area by getting custom merchandise with the 703 area code such as hats, shirts, and other accessories.

Whenever I go to Northern Virginia, I use my 703 numbered phone to contact my friends in Arlington and Alexandria. It is a very popular area code and isn't known to have numbers readily available. Usually phone companies give a 703 number the exact 60 days after someone deactivates their 703 line before putting into circulation again. That is only true thanks to demand.

Get the 703 mug.Mexicaca is a derogatory term that is used when someone talks about a Mexican. It is usually used by a non Mexican Latino but other races have been known to use the term as well. The literal translation of Mexicaca is Mexi-Shit as caca means shit in Spanish.
The reason a Latino would normally use the word is because of US culture grouping every Latino as a Mexican. Thus hate grew towards the Mexican because they feel Mexico represents nothing of them and their home country. Others feel when they are called "Mexican" they are seen with the usual stereotypes of a Mexican.

Juan: "Panama"
John: "What part of Mexico is that?"
Juan: "Shut your racist shit up! I'm not a Mexicaca!"
Pedro: "Mira ese Mexicaca." "El piensa que es la gran mierda!"
translation: Look at that Mexicaca. He thinks he's the shit!
Pablo: "Simon!" "Sucio culero." "Por eso odio esos Mexicacas!"

Get the Mexicaca mug.Privately owned Cable company and subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, which currently operates in Metro areas and serves 6.2 Million customers in 17 states which are
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Connecticut
Florida
Georgia
Idaho
Iowa
Kansas
Louisiana
Massachusetts
Nebraska
Nevada
Ohio
Oklahoma
Virginia
They are also the sole Cable provider in Rhode Island.
Besides Rhode Island they do not have a big footprint and are 3rd largest preceded by Comcast and Time Warner.
Like all service monopolies, customer service is not a top priority. They are known to piss many people off and chase them out to Satellite TV since each cable company has a monopoly in the areas they serve.
Cox also offers Internet and Phone, and will give you the triple play offer which is Cable, Internet, and phone for $100. Otherwise though, their services are expensive. It is not unheard of to pay for $100 on digital cable alone with Cox after taxes and rental fees. The company goes as far as charging a rental fee for the REMOTE.
As far as Cox internet goes, for the most part, it is competitive with DSL. Most of their packages are $3 to $5 more or less than DSL's equivalent. Service is not the best and you will always find yourself stressing when calling the customer service line, for all of Cox services.

Cox cable sucks balls. I payed $50 for basic cable before switching to Satellite. Their Internet is decent I guess. You can't really complain if you have Verizon as the other option for Internet. Still sucks though. Their phone service after the smoke and mirrors isn't that pleasant. It's almost like Verizon which charges you for other phone features, most which come standard on cell phones. Even the prepaid ones.

Get the Cox Cable mug.A brand made for the Best Buy chain. They are what most call the "in house" brand or the "knockoff" brand. Nobody truly knows who makes the products. Their products have old parts from numerous brands which are assembled in an undisclosed location in Asia. Some are said to be made by LG, others by Funai or Orion.
The brand is sub-par and for the most part has "gets the job done" products. It is just a cheap alternative to the major brands, but sometimes they are priced at the same price as the mainstream wanted item.
Getting a universal remote to work with their products is a major hassle as well. Almost none of them have the code.
They are a sister brand to Dynex, another Best Buy brand with questionable origins.

I went to Best Buy and I saw a 52 inch Insignia LCD screen. It was pretty good, but its shotty history is very concerning. Not only that, but Geek Squad is a bitch to deal with. It's like dealing with that stubborn person in your family that only wants their way or the high way.
I rather spend the money on a nice Samsung or LG.
