County Seat of Washington County, Virginia, in southwestern Virginia about fifteen miles northeast of the Tennesse border. Population ca. 6,000.
Active (live-)stock market, seasonal burley tobacco market, site of Federal District court which accounts for beaucoup (way too many) attorneys for hire.
Biggest cultural attributes are probably the annual Virginia Highlands Festival held on the campus of Virginia Highlands Community College, waggishly referred to as "UCLA(q.v.)," and the Barter Theater, the State Theater of Virginia. Contrary to popular opinion, neither Gregory Peck nor Ernest Borgnine was born or grew up in Abingdon, nor Ned Beatty, although they all played the Barter early in their careers.
Worst-kept secret: The really choice furniture, antiques and miscellaneous items (and often, quite good deals) are not to be found at the open-air Highlands Festival, but at a semi-secret rummage sale held by a consortium of downtown Mainline Protestant churches, named for Plum Alley, which the week-long event occupies.
Little-known facts:
. Interstate 81 runs along eastern edge of town and affords easy access to Bristol, where there is also nothing for young people to do.
. One of several thousand communities in the USA that has earned the right to call itself "the buckle on the bible belt."
. Just for fun, Google for "Abington, Virginia" (note misspelling).

"Abingdon, Virginia? Where is this Abingdon? How long to drive there from Richmond?"
"Oh, about six, seven hours if the Interstates don't clot up too much."
"That's impossible. Nowhere in Virginia takes seven hours to reach from the state capital."
"Look on a road map, for the extreme Southwestern tip which they always put in a separate little box."

Get the Abingdon, Virginia mug.(see:nigga flip) This is the white version of the nigga flip. This move involves the man to wear nothing, but the woman has to wear running shoes. Have the girl bend down in the downward dog stance, then stick your man rod into her shit pipe. Keep fucking until you shoot your sauce in her ass, then grasp onto her sides and roll both you and her forward like some kind of somersault. once you have completed the move start eating her out.
Hey dude did you see Jerome's nigga flip? It was sick. Yea, but did you Ronnie's Albino Sunburst? It was a fucking revelation.

Get the albino slit my wrists mug."A lady's boyfriend in name only." (a.k.a. A.L.B.I.N.O.) When a woman claims to have a boyfriend when in fact she does not. Because this claim is false, the boyfriend exists in name only.
This usually occurs in one of two circumstances:
1. When guys make unwanted advances in a public setting, some women will falsely claim to have boyfriends in order to stop their advances, often claiming one of their nearby male friends as their boyfriend. This is particularly effective when the albino is ripped or jacked because the men engaging in unwanted advances are usually loathe to have these advances result in violence.
2. Feeling insecure about being single and/or going alone to an event, a woman will claim to have a boyfriend and bring him to the event to show off as evidence.

That girl's not fooling anybody: her albino is clearly gay.
Ah, that's sad; she couldn't even find an albino to attend the wedding with her.
