Salt Life

Originally a sticker on the back of cars used to denote a surfer, bodyboarder, or general beach bum whose life centered around the ocean or related beach going activities. Ever seen a 32 year old man whose primary activity was surfing and working on his tan? That person would have a salt life sticker.

Unfortunately the trend spread to senior citizens, wanna be hipsters, soccer moms, and other persons wishing to inform the world that yes, they too have visited the beach at some point in life and they have the sticker to prove it.
Dude: "Check out this wicked Salt Life sticker I just got for the back of my car!"

Me: "That's really lame dude. My Grandma has one of those on the back of her wheelchair and aren't you afraid of the ocean ever since you got raped by that dolphin?"

Dude: "I don't want to talk about it."

salthead

A slur for an ethnic group that does not exist.
A vague term used as a substitute for an actual ethnic slur with the sole purpose of upsetting or confusing the ignorant. Not to be used as a euphemism for a real slur, but simply to confuse those that don't realize that there is no actual ethnicity attached to "salthead."
Although originally coined to provoke overly P.C. hippies, its also fun to say to ignorant rednecks who may think you're actually insulting someone, and will join in.
Just take a cliche racist comment, add "salthead" in place of the slur and voila!
"No daughter of mine is going to marry a no good salthead!"
"Get a job, you lazy salthead!"
"Oh Christ, a family of saltheads just moved next door. There goes the neighborhood."
"Everyone knows that saltheads have {large/small} {body part}s."
