Do you call the Washington & Old Dominion the W&OD or wad? Any other trails out there?

It is pronounced “WAHD“

The CCT is pronounced “CCTease”

And the Custis is pronounced “DOOM“

[jopamora]

Are you talking about the Capital Crescent Trail or the Cross County Trail?

CCT, henceforth, always means the Capital Crescent Trail. The trail in Fairfax is now the Gerry Connolly Cross County Trail, or the GCCCT, thus solving this aspect of the TLA crisis.

I call it the WO&D. I used to call it the “WOD” but no one knew what I was talking about. :p

I’m just as guilty. WO&D rolls off the tongue easier, even if it *should* be W&OD.

I like wegmans as much as the next guy, but I don’t think we need to name the trail after them.

And here I thought it was Walgreens, I’m getting confused with all the curley dubyas around here. :rolleyes:

It’s not Wegmans, nor Walgreens, it’s Washington Nationals baseball team.
