Etymology:
This word came into use by the students and former students of Kay D------,
Now retired she was a special education teacher at Freehold Elementary Schools in Freehold New Jersey. The term dowling is also interchangeable with the term “45 minute Catholic”, meaning a person that practices the virtues of Roman Catholicism for the duration of the mass but NOT outside of the mass.
Kay apparently has professed to being a “devout” Catholic and is rumored not to have missed a single mass in her adult life. However, she declined a trip to Rome, Italy to see the Pope and the Vatican being that Italy was loaded with Italians and other “undesirable foreigners“.
In her teaching career, a Chinese-American family filed charges against her alleging that she was prejudice against their son. One of the key points of the case alleged there was a conflict of interest being that her husband was a member of the Freehold Township Board of Education. While the charges were dismissed, the case hit the national nightly news.
Moreover, many of Kay’s students that happened to African-Americans, ethic or religious minorities and perceived as living alternative lifestyles, alleged they were discriminated against. She has been observed by a fellow teacher as referring to African-American as “coons”.
As for the psychology of Kay D------, Freud referred to the condemnation of something one has an inclination toward as a “reaction formation”. Another possible explanation is that she has an inferiority complex and by “looking-down” on various minorities it makes her feel better about herself. While the unique psychology of Kay will probably always be a mystery, one can only surmise as to her psychology and her seeming intolerance of certain people. It may well be the result of Catholic guilt (deeply branded in Kay‘s psyche), family expectations and numerous childhood issues.

The lesser of the two high schools in the Downingtown Area School District.
Instead of doing schoolwork, or practicing sports, they go on sites like Urban Dictionary and Youtube making videos and definitions trying to prove that they are better than East.
The Proof? East's higher state testing scores, percentage to college AND college rankings of which graduates have attended, the athletic dominance of East over West, and the awards and state/national recognition given to East AND its teachersfrom national and state magazines.

West Kid: "Yo man, Downingtown West is so much better than East! Just go look up 'dwest chillin' on youtube, and all the definitions on Urban Dictionary!!! The proof is all right there!! K, now I'm gonna go have sex in the main lobby"
East Kid: Alright, while you're doing that I'm gonna go to my pitching lesson, then study for my AP Biology test tomorrow, both with the knowledge that we raped your football team and almost made it to the state quarterfinals. Oh Yeah, and dwestchillin is just a sucky 'copy-cat' act of D-Town State of Mind. Which failed. Kbye.

Get the Downingtown West mug.Downingtown East High School is the superior school to Downingtown West. The schools were split in 2003 and East quickly became a better school. (More money, better sports teams, smarter students, etc.) West students will often say "The stadium is on West Campus though." This is true, however West was built first so it is there by default. Weed sales are through the roof at East, and one can probably witness a deal going down in any bathroom at any time (usually the one by the gyms).
The one biggest downside is the fact that 60% of all guys in the school believe that they are the best thing to ever happen to women everywhere. Usually these guys are wearing khakis as street clothes, Nike sneakers or slides, high black socks, a Diamond Supply Co. sweatshirt, and have a short haircut with a flare in the front. In truth, some of them are chill and don't think extremely highly of themselves, but 58% of them are just faggots. Just typical "Swag Fags". Most of these students are part of the Class of 2016. The worst of them are the ones who often try to be black around the few black students, but live in the local upscale neighborhoods such as Byers Station, Eagle Reserve, or Bell Tavern.
The principal has a ponytail, one teacher wears a kilt, there have been several bomb threats, and the girls are more attractive than at West. West Girls are anorexic, tanorexic, and dumber than a rock. East Girls are as intelligent as they are attractive. East is better.

Downingtown East High School Conversation:
East Student #1: Some West kids were talking shit about East and saying how them having the stadium makes them better.
East Student #2: They should just give up as a school.
West Student: You just can't not handle our Swag.
East Student: "Can't not" is a double-negative. Learn to speak English. I don't think colleges look for "Swag" when accepting students.

Get the downingtown west mug.A theory created by Hungarian pornographer Aleksendar Andon aka "Downing", that states that in order for a pornographic film to captivate the audience's attention, the introductory scene must start off with some kind of softcore foreplay (ie. caressing, touching, talking, etc.) before moving into the hardcore. According to Downing, doing otherwise would "upset the flow of the film, making the film lack a consistent tempo, and ruining its realism". The Downing Theory was introduced to the Eastern European porn underground in the 2006 Spring edition of the Hungarian porn magazine "Buda-Sex" (Buda being short for Budapest, the capitol of Hungary).
In order to make this film commercial, we must implement the Downing Theory before getting into the main scenes.
Men and women alike implement The Downing Theory into their everyday, non pornographic, sex lives.
