A place that, accept it or not, is the height of American insufferability. Meaning they believe that the place they are is the coolest and anyone who lives elsewhere and enjoys life is fooling themselves.
"Why don't those poor bastards realize if they thought and acted just like me they could truly be happy?"

The Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida, Metropolitan Statistical Area, also known as the Tampa Bay area or simply Tampa Bay after the body of water it surrounds, is a metropolitan area on the Gulf coast of west-central Florida. It includes the cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater, as well as numerous other small municipalities in Pasco, Hernando, Pinellas, and Hillsborough counties. The population for the Tampa Bay area currently stands at 2,589,637; as of a July 4, 2005 estimate. It is experiencing urban sprawl and the area grows at an average of 20,000 to 40,000 residents every year, which is about 200,000 to 400,000 every 10 years. Most of the sprawl has occurred in the more rural areas because of more affordable land; such areas are Lutz, Land O' Lakes, Pasco County and Hernando County. The West Coast of Florida, on the Gulf of Mexico is considered a tourist destination as the weather is semi-tropical and the region contains significant natural beauty, including brilliant sunsets, exotic foliage, and attractive scenery. The Tampa Bay area contains three major public beaches. Coastal access and ports provide the opportunity to observe dolphins, manatees and other sea life, experience deep sea fishing, scuba diving, and join cruises to Gulf of Mexico destinations including Cozumel, Key West and the Cayman Islands.

Although usually referring to the Northern region of California state, as of 2000, the term bay area was rebranded as an adjective which means gay. This is likely due to the renowned gay population of this region as well as the sexual preference of the man who proudly created this term.
"Bay areaaaaaaaaaaa" = I am gay.
"Yo that is hella bay" = That's gay.
"Bay area chronic!" = I am gay and have smoked good weed in my hometown of San Francisco.

Refers to the Tampa Bay area and surrounding cities. Tampa Bay often mistaken as a city but is actually made up of two main cities (Tampa and St. Petersberg) home of two former championship teams (Lightning and Buccaneers) and Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

One of the less known-about American accents, can be heard throughout the bay depending on which area you're in. However, its beginning to fade as more and more people move in from other places.
Some notable differences:
- Slurring words or sounds together, "Sanrancisco"
- Dropping Ts, Santa Monica is "Sannamonica" and Santa Cruz is "Sannacruz"
- Replacing the "t" or "th" sounds with "d", so "these" is "deeze" and "those" is "dose"
- A weird "r" sound. I can't explain it
- Either super fast or super slow
- Throwing in a lot of bay area slang, "hella", "tryna", "slaps" "cop"
- Dropping whole words, "Whayya mean?" = "What do you mean?"
Listen to how these people talk, they have Bay Area Accents: YBN Nahmir ("listen to Rubbin' off the Paint", he picked up his accent from friends in Cali over GTA), Daveed Diggs, SOB x RBE (listen to "Anti")
