A town in Passaic County (meaning North NJ) next to a ghetto town called Paterson. Paterson used to be nice, but then a lot of hispanics and negative-charged people moved in giving it and WEST Paterson a bad name. Paterson people think WP is lame or boring b/c its pretty safe and relativly friendly.
A lot of Paterson people move to W.Paterson when they get enough money to move into the apartments (that are ratehr going downhill) and enroll their kids in WP schools (or enroll when they are still in Paterson).
If you call West Paterson 'Paterson' a lot of people (especially older, lifelong residents) will get pissed and correct you since WP isn't a ghetto full of gangs, drugs but families, some of whom have been there for a long time.
My friend in town recently told me they voted to change the name to Woodland Park or soemthing with the initals WP to try and knock-off the confusion.
WP also has the same area-code as Little Falls (another next-door town) so along with Paterson, some people mistake WP for Little Falls, but that isn't nearly as bad since LF is also a nice little town with a cutesy little waterfall which stems its name.

My grandparents hate when people mistake West Paterson for Paterson.

Get the east paterson mug.Paternoed (verb, usually past-tense) -- Slang. To poop, to defecate, to move bowels accidentally or in a situation in which it is least desired. To crap oneself, i.e. moving bowels when wearing a garmet. Named for the legendary Penn State head football coach who was forced to leave in the middle of a big game to use the facilities. He returned after halftime wearing different pants and later said only that he had 'flu-like symptoms.'

Get the Paternoed mug.Paterson, NJ (also called the Silk City or P-town), is one of the roughest places to live. The city was the first industrial city in the country, and the main production item was silk (nicknamed the silk city). Now, that age has come to an end and the city is a poverty-stricken wasteland. The city's residents are mainly Hispanic and Black. Paterson has a very high crime rate and is a very dangerous place. It is a very corrupt city, covered in graffiti, and has drug dealers on every street corner. P-town is a nickname given to it by its younger residents. Paterson has a population of about 150,000 and is currently the third largest city in the state of New Jersey. It is located in Passaic County and is the county seat. And above all, the city is not welcome to rich wiggers wanting thier little taste of the ghetto, so if you're not originally from Paterson don't go there (especially if you're white, but no other races are excluded). AND I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!

Get the Paterson, NJ mug.After hearing or witnessing something that would normally get a person upset, it is the act of turning the other way and pretending like it never happened.
Guy #1: So...did you hear that Jim knew that girl was being raped and did nothing?
Guy #2: Yeah, he was busy pulling a Joe Paterno.
