"The Inn at Little Washington" --- now there's a very pricey place to dine.
First meal I blew over a grand for a party of four to chow and wine down.
Memorable for other reasons, but I wouldn't go out of my way again to duplicate the experience.

What is “wah”, as in “She loses, his wah goes way down too, and with it the Big Bucks”?

“Wah”: It’s Oriental, Japanese or Chinese, not sure.

Personal place in “pecking order”, Personal standing among peers, Importance, particularly as seen by public, also related in a way to self-confidence and self-pride.

More “personal” than “official as on some org chart or driven by title.”

“The Lieutenant was in charge, but the First Sergeant, who won the DSC at Pork Chop Hill, had the Wah.”

“He didn’t get fired when he dented the boss’s car, but he lost a lot of wah.”

“The Japanese Colonel lost so much wah when his troops lost the battle on Iwo Jima that he committed Hari-hari”

Have a good week.

It’s those “other reasons” most people go there. :)
