Going to Paramus 

Shamelessly seeking validation/adoration from anyone who will give it to you.

From the movie, "Soap Dish" in which Sally Field's character is feeling bad about herself, so she goes to the Garden State Plaza (a.k.a. Paramus Mall) to get recognized and adored by her fans.

Rose: "Give them my best in Paramus!"

"Did you see Madonna is doing a show in the Village?"
"Uh, oh, someone's going to Paramus..."

Paramus 

Paramus, an upper-middle class boro located in the heart of Bergen County, also known as the land of 10,000 malls... well actually just three: Garden State Plaza, Paramus Park, Bergen Mall and a ton of other retail centers that line the choked-up arteries of Routes 17 & 4. A place where gridlock is a way of life and the Holiday shopping rush takes on a whole new meaning. Paramus is also home to the most neurotic cops in all of Bergen County... where else can you get a ticket for making a left turn at 7PM at a no left turn street (from 5PM -7PM), or talking on your cellphone in the middle of Rt.17 when clearly a million other people are doing the same exact thing around you. It is obvious that this is a place where people are on the move...to the malls that is, with their platinum credit cards in hand. Where else in Jersey do New Yorkers come to shop but here? But eager shoppers beware, if you plan to max out your credit cards on a Sunday, the only sign you will see at a store entrance is "Sorry, we're closed."

Garden State Plaza (285 stores), Paramus Park (110), Bergen Mall (70)

Paramus High School

a place divided by the ghettos, preps, cheerleaders, smart kids, sluts, gothics/potheads, and jocks. the ghettos think they are ghetto by wearing oversized clothes they bought at the GSP, the preps think they are back in the 80's where "popped collars" were cool and tight jeans were in. the cheerleaders think they are hot but most of them are just plain ugly, the smart kids make everyone else look bad, the sluts just try to get every guy or girl (whatever they please), the goths which now makes up a good 20 percent of our school think they are so unique by wearing black and shirts that are printed in stores yet they cant really be unique if its a mass produced shirt now can they, and the jocks just think they are cool because they are all jacked n ripped yet our football team still cant seem to win

rich ghetto people, saved by the bell kids, girls in skirts, geniuses, girls who wear barely any clothing, kids in black, jerks

paramus catholic 

Largest private school in NJ, located in an upper-middle class Northern NJ town,Paramus;principal boasts of an abnormally large collection of flags around the perimeter of the building, diverse student body,a large 'bubble' used for sports much like one used in professional sports arenas, and a large weight training facility; generally less snooty than the other North Jersey Catholic High Schools; home to many guidos,wiggers,and several other people who assume themselves to be ghetto fabulous; many residents of P-town, Clifton,Shag-Lawn, and every other Northern town go here; common to see (Tony Soprano) James Gandolfini's dad in the cafeteria serving fries; often goes by the abbreviation "PC";also known as the best high school ever.

I feel like every time I go to the Garden State Plaza I see people in their Paramus Catholic uniforms from
the co-ed uniform company.
