why do they call it washington state?

Kishar · 12-22-2009, 08:11 PM

when i hear washington, i think of the state...when i hear washington dc, i think of the capitol. is it THAT confusing?

The SARS Volta · 12-22-2009, 08:11 PM

as not to be confused with the district of columbia (washington, d.c.)

Kishar · 12-22-2009, 08:21 PM

who says "washington" when their talking about the capitol? no one ..they call it d.c. or washington dc so there is no need to say washington STATE.

mentally challenged people say washington state because its too confusing for them to figure out.

Waves · 12-22-2009, 08:25 PM

cuz thats its name???

Kishar · 12-22-2009, 08:38 PM

ok..when someone asks you what state u r from you say illinois state? no you say illinois just like i say ohio not ohio state.

only for retards, like yourself...Others are comfortable in their intelligence to ask follow up questions for further clarity when posed with these kinds of situations...Retards like you get mad, yell, curse, smash, etc, when faced with names that imply two or more meanings...

it's just that the night touching has an especial effect on things like geographical colloquialism, or at least one's understanding of it
