Default People who say "I stay at" vs. "I live at"
So...it's been bugging me more lately when I hear someone say...

"where you stay at?"

WTF is up with that? How about, "Where do you live?"

And then you'll hear folks respond with something like "I stay out near Graham Street."



Dogs stay. People live.

Sounds like you're asking us what the difference between black people and white people are?

Perhaps it's a case of leasing/renting(staying at) a place and actually(living at) owning a place.

True. But that just means the person can say that they stay on "whatever" street. The person asking "where you stay at" just asked it way wrong.
