Arrrrggggghh Quack Phisssst
(Thou shalt not).... Washers: - A washer is a thin plate (typically disk-shaped) with a hole (typically in the middle) that is normally used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener, such as a screw or nut. Other uses are as a spacer, spring (belleville washer, wave washer), wear pad, pre-load indicating device, locking device, and to reduce vibration (rubber washer). Washers usually have an outer diameter (OD) about twice the width of their inner diameter (ID). Washers are usually metal or plastic. High quality bolted joints require hardened steel washers to prevent the loss of pre-load due to Brinelling after the torque is applied. Rubber or fiber gaskets used in taps (or faucets, or valves) to stop the flow of water are sometimes referred to colloquially as washers; but, while they may look similar, washers and gaskets are usually designed for different functions and made differently. Washers are also important for preventing galvanic corrosion, particularly by insulating steel screws from aluminium surfaces. The origin of the word is unknown; the first recorded use of the word was in 1346, however the first time its definition was recorded was in 1611 That is a bleeding washer You can't die in that! Laundromat: - A self-service laundry, coin laundry or coin wash is a facility where clothes are washed and dried. They are known in the United Kingdom as launderettes or laundrettes, and in the United States, Canada, and Australia as laundromats (from the genericized trademark of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation)[1] or washaterias. George Edward Pendray created the word "laundromat" for Westinghouse.[1] That, you could die in... be a bit of a washout, but non-the-less Don't you yanks know what wiki's for? Quack quaaack quackidy quack :frown:

Thou shalt not 'blah blah blah' endlessly over a dead subject, furthermore:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/washer wash·er (wshr, wôshr)n. 1. One who washes: a washer of clothes; a washer of windows. 2. An appliance used for washing, especially: a. A washing machine. b. An automatic dishwasher. 3. A flat disk, as of metal, plastic, rubber, or leather, placed beneath a nut or at an axle bearing or a joint to relieve friction, prevent leakage, or distribute pressure. (my emphasis). Thou shall not depend on the wiki for definitions of words, there are dictionaries for that.

Thou shalt not underestimate the power of American English. It is everywhere. Simply because Americans spend much more money on movie making than health care, plus we export our wonderful culture to the world - such as Mc Donalds, Coke (a cola oh and the other kind too).
All hail America, the Best Country in the whole world - we are number one! U S A U S A ! !
