Sugarland Run, or Sugarland, is one of the poorest parts of Loudoun County. It is also poorly designed as there are no sidewalks. Instead, there are nature trails in the woods behind the houses and apartments. Anyone attempting to walk these trails will be jumped by some chulo and his vatos. Despite having no sidewalks, poorly-maintained bicycles are the preferred mode of transportation; much to the detriment of motorists.
Unlike most low-income neighbourhoods, Sugarland is surrounded on all sides by expensive, upper-middle class communities in Sterling VA. These communities blocked off access to Sugarland and as a result, there are only two ways in and out of the neighbourhood despite having thousands of residents
Regardless of where someone lives in Loudoun or Fairfax county, telling someone you live in Sugarland will always merit a response of, "That Sucks Dude!". Unless they live in Herndon or Great Falls as a community of million-dollar houses in Herndon is also named Sugarland
Kid from Annandale: - "Where do you live?"
Kid from Sugarland Run: - "Sugarland in Sterling"
Kid from Annandale: - "Dude, that sucks!" "Sugarland is sketchy as hell"

Place:
A town in northern Fairfax County between Sterling VA and McLean. Great Falls differs from most of Northern Virginia by having homes on very large yards and having no apartments or townhomes whatsoever. Because it offers a wealth of land and privacy in the middle of the D.C. metro area, homes and estates in Great Falls command very high prices. Within Great Falls is a park with waterfalls that take the lives of several kayakers a year and cliffs that injure dozens of freeclimbers and parkour enthusiasts.
Great Falls has no sidewalks, but many cyclists. There are also many exotic sports cars and fast, winding roads. Because of this, Great Falls has more cyclists hit by Ferraris than any other part of the country. Everyone in Great Falls knows who their neighbour is but has never met them, mostly because 12-foot gates are not very welcoming. There are only two roads to travel from Great Falls to Washington, D.C. This leads to failtastic traffic jams all day.
Man in Great Falls: - "I paid $11 million for a 20,000 SqFt. house with a multi-level deck, infinity pool, tiki bar, pool house for my emo son, basement movie theater, five car garage, horse barn, ballroom, and two-story master bedroom. "
"Five months later, Dick Cheney moves in across the street. FML"

Ashburn, VA is a town in Loudoun County located between Leesburg and Sterling. The original town was built as a vacation spot for people in Washington, D.C.
But, nobody cares about that...
Today, Ashburn is an upscale planned community with some odd quirks: Despite being built by several developers, every, single, house has the same floorplan. Ashburn homes are rather large, exceeding 4,000 SqFt. Yards around these houses are smaller than the houses themselves and one can easily see into their neighbours' house as they are never more than six feet apart. No place of business is open past midnight in Ashburn, excepting gas stations. This, coupled with the youth of Ashburn's propensity for soft drugs, has caused many a drunk or stoned youth to trek to 7-11 and mill inside for at least a half-hour. Every adult in Ashburn is obsessed with fitness and is compelled to bicycle in the middle of the road regardless of whether trails are paved on both sides.
Out-of-towner: - "I had the hardest time finding your place, every house looks the same around here!"
Ashburn-er - "What do you mean?" "Our's has brick on the front"

An extraordinarily uncomfortable pair of canvas slippers that offer no arch support and will give you a sprained ankle every time you wear them. If you buy a pair of TOMS Shoes, the company will send an identical pair of these dangerous shoes to a child in a third-world country so they too can roll their ankle and walk with an awkward gait.
TOMS Shoes are made of unstructured canvas and cloth, making them even cheaper than the Chuck Taylor. They are popular with hipsters and kids that think they can save the world by buying things for themselves.
Wearers of TOMS Shoes truly and honestly think they are helping poor children by giving them free shoes; however, wearing TOMS may be more hazardous than going barefoot.
Aspiring Hippie NYU Student: - "I wear TOMS Shoes so an orphan in Columbia can get a free pair of shoes!!!
**rolls her ankle**
"Dammit! Not again..."

Teen Girl: - I can't believe you're selfish enough to buy Asics! if you bought a pair of Toms, like the Jonas Brothers, some poor kid would have free shoes
Runner: - TOMS Shoes will give the child a lifetime of podiatric issues, why would I wish that on anyone? Know What? As soon as Asics gives away free Kayanos to Africa, I'll buy ten pairs!

When a merchant hires a person to stand at a street corner for several hours holding a sign advertising the merchant's place of business and its wares.
A common advertising tactic in Northern Virginia. However, instead of bums, college and high-school aged suburban kids are usually employed due to the lack of actual homeless in this extremely wealthy area.
Driver: - "Hey! Look at that sign the kid is waving." "Mastercraft Interiors is going out of business!!!"
Wife: - "No they're not, Mastercraft has a huge bumvertising campaign every summer to lure you in"

Teenager in Ashburn: - "I couldn't get a job this summer so I got a gig bumvertising for Toll Brother Homes

Another name for day-labourers. Rather than giving the independent labour consultants derogatory or assumptive titles like Spics, Illegals, or Mexicans; one can call them "Sexy Singles"
Guy: "Look at all those sexy singles chilling in front of Home Depot!"
Girl checking Gmail: "The pop-up ad says there are sexy singles within two miles of my house." "Funny, there are at least four 7-11's within two miles of my house"

A bicycle trail in Northern Virginia that stretches 45 miles from Purcellville, VA to Arlington, VA. If one traverses the entire trail, they will see an accurate representation of the socio-economic diversity in Northern Virginia. The old-money wealth of western Loudoun County, the micro-city of Reston, the wealthy towns of Oakton and Vienna, as well as gentrified and poor neighbourhoods of Arlington alike. The trail ends at a day-labour center where one can hire an immigrant to perform a number of manual tasks for a negotiable fee.
The trail is very popular. While riding on the trail, one is passed by millions of white people in extremely tight clothing that ride on very expensive carbon fibre bicycles. There are also runners that do not move out of cyclists' way and expect you to yield to them. Occasionally, you will be harassed by a crazy Hispanic man in a long coat; he will call you "Sexi Mami" and show you his penis.
White Guy in spandex: "On your left!"

Liar: I can do the entire W&OD in two hours
