Beltway brat

[Cami]

Someone raised in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, by parents who moved to the area to work in the government or a related field (law, lobbying, defense contractors, etc). The strictest definition would only apply to people living within the Capital Beltway, but more usually it refers to any county [the Beltway] passes through or encompasses (Washington D.C., Arlington, Alexandria, [Falls Church], Fairfax, Montgomery, and Prince Georges County). As military brats are likely to know an unusual amount about the military, [so beltway] brats are likely to know an unusual amount about politics and government.
