A town lying on the Missouri River of roughly 14,000 people that's probably the most conservative, Catholic place on the planet. There's a grand total of about ten different last names in the area, all of clear German origin, that aren't heard anywhere else.
It has two high schools: Washington High School is the largest and the the only public high school, while St. Francis Borgia High School is a small Catholic high school that tends to consist of students from more higher-income families. But this does not mean people there are stuck-up or snobbish.
The town is almost completely white, and many people will do a double take when they see a person from a different ethnicity there.
The county (Franklin) has a terrible problem with methamphetamine, but as I'm not a druggie, I don't have any experience with it. I guess that could be a plus about this town for some people, however…
Overall, this is a nice town that I'm happy to live in. The overwhelming Catholic influence can get a bit annoying at times, but for the most part, I have no qualms about Washington.

Out-of-towner: "Nah, I'm not Catholic."
Washington resident: "YOU SHALL BE BURNED AT THE HANDS OF GOD!!"

Get the Washington, Missouri mug.It is best defined as a reaction. The resulting behavior and response a person engages in naturally when experiencing that which can be only described as God.
After receiving the Eucharist, Rick went back into the pew where he was kneeling and was overcome with awe, inner peace, and a powerful surrealism which led him into quiet, personal worship.

Port Washington is a small town 30 miles north of Milwaukee with close to 11,000 people. Its full of people that think they're more important than they really are, making news on cnn for stupid enough issues as hazing, and a controversial gay survey. Kids are stupid, adults go crazy over everything, but occasionally you'll find someone pretty cool. Downtown has a curse where small businesses shut down every year, and are replaced by another which will just get shut down again. The cops are the biggest assholes you'll find in Wisconsin, and its against the city ordinance for anything to be open 24 hours. Since theres nothing to do after 9:00, kids resort to mischief and drugs. Then the parents bitch about it.

Get the Gorilla in the washing machine. mug.A terrible town that no one knows, it is a drive by town that people pass on their way to Stevens Pass in the Cascade Mountains. The town is full of rednecks and stoners. This is definitely not a place to raise a family. Do not go out at night, you might never be heard from again.

Get the Washington DC mug.Extreme reverence, respect, faith, and devotion dedicated to a deity, pantheon, or philosophy. In the case of people who choose a religion because it makes them feel good about themselves, they themselves are the object of their worship, no matter how ecstatically they utter the name of their deity.
I can't believe that no one else has taken time out from dissing one another's religions or lack thereof to define "worship". But since they haven't, and I can't believe it, I'm sure they worship differently than I do. I wonder if they have time to worship.
