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.
