A small town in northern Virginia that is really not a city at all, but a tiny, boring, culture-less town. Tends to eat away at the souls of inhabitants until they can hardly picture leaving the monotony of the greater Winchester area. Made national news when some guy purposely blew up his house. T-Pain once came within six miles of town, when he visited the (equally monotonous and pathetic) Appleblossom Mall.

Also known as "the Gritty," "Stephens Gritty," and "shithole".

to tell someone to calm down and relax.
