(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The term 'wash' can mean several things:
Cleaning
A wash is the act of cleaning. I wash my hands in soapy water.
Painting
A wash is a light covering of watercolor on a painting. When painting three-dimensional models, they can be used to add shading.
Geography
A wash is a very small river or stream. Typically (at least in rural parts of the central United States) the term wash is used to reference a stream that only gets wet when there is rain, and dries quickly. The term does not refer to a section of land that gets wet during heavy rains; that's a flood plain.
Equality
There is a common American (also english?) phrase of, 'it's a wash'. This means the process of coming to be on equal footing with another party. If person A gives person B one dollar at the same time that person B gives person A a dollar, 'it's a wash'.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | ROUNDHEAD, n. A member of the Parliamentarian party in the English civil war -- so called from his habit of wearing his hair short, whereas his enemy, the Cavalier, wore his long. There were other points of difference between them, but the fashion in hair was the fundamental cause of quarrel. The Cavaliers were royalists because the king, an indolent fellow, found it more convenient to let his hair grow than to wash his neck. This the Roundheads, who were mostly barbers and soap-boilers, deemed an injury to trade, and the royal neck was therefore the object of their particular indignation. Descendants of the belligerents now wear their hair all alike, but the fires of animosity enkindled in that ancient strife smoulder to this day beneath the snows of British civility. |
