PNW 

PNW
abbr. — Pussy-ass North Westerner

A chronically damp individual from the Pacific Northwest, typically found clutching a $7 oat milk latte while complaining about how the sun is “too aggressive.” Known for passive-aggressive activism, flannel-based personalities, and melting like a snowflake in any environment above 65°F or below 50% tolerance for differing opinions.

Behavioral Traits:

- Thinks composting can end capitalism.

- Apologizes to the deer after hitting them with their Prius.

- Will ghost you mid-conversation to go cry in the woods (and blog about it).

- Believes fighting fascism means posting a strongly-worded infographic on Instagram.

“Bro tried to square up, then backed down the moment I raised my voice. Straight-up PNW energy—Pussy-ass North Westerner.”

PNWD 

PNWD, often pronounced PIN-wad, stands for Pacific Northwest Disease. This is a disease manifested by flabbiness, cellulite and pallid skin due to being stuck indoors and on the couch during the long winter months in Seattle and Portland. Women emerging in the first hot days of spring wearing shorts (and men) display the unfortunate and unsightly symptoms of pin-wad. See also NEDS, (New England Disease).

Wow that girl's white flabby legs bespeak of a bad case of PNWD.
