sangsue's definitions

washington

The city in the District of Columbia. People from the DC area never say "Washington," we call it the District or DC. Or if we're talking about specific communities: Dupont Circle, Georgetown, K Street, Q Street, we use those words.

Me: "Are you from this area?"
Stranger: "Yeah, right down in Washington"
Me: Tourist.
