DEFINITION: A person who does not live in a coastal community, lives inland, but does visit the coast on occassion. Most often used to describe such a person when they are on the beach, or a tourist (also see
kook or barney).
IDENTIFICATION AND USAGE: Valleys usually stick out
like a sore thumb. Sometimes they wear hawaiian shirts or other clothes they think a surfer would wear (but no surfer wears that kind of poser stuff so they stick out). If you see someone littering on the beach, chances are it's a valley. Old people and people that have their crap together usually don't get labeled 'valley' even if they are from out of town. The term is usually only used to describe meatheads or gangsters with their bimbo girlfriends sitting around their boombox listening to atrocious valley music and boogie boarding. However, if you
fit the description of
kook, and are from the valley, you are definately a valley, no matter how nice you are. On occassion, the term can be used against an entire family, but only if the dad is a maggot, the
wife is a bimbo, and the
kids are total brats. However, young children are usually are exempt. If you see someone being rescued by a lifeguard, or if the coast guard
helicopter has to come and save someone, it's usually to pick up some valley. Most locals can either swim or know
better.
