Get the Seattleite White mug.A social disorder common to residents of Western Washington State, and the city of Seattle in particular. People suffering from Seattlitis display many of the following symptoms:
1 -- Overinflated sense of self-importance, and a condescending attitude towards others.
2 -- Lack of desire or ability to initiate conversation with new people or to make and keep friends. Commonly caused by a combination of the above mentioned self-importance, and a tendency to become sucked into the dramas of one's own life and hobbies (which may involve a group but which never ever involve people in the group bonding with each other or becoming friends and spending time with each other apart from the activity).
3 - A superficial facade of politeness donned by a person to mask a rootless, yet powerful disdain for the one they are conversing with, most likely rooted in the superiority complex mentioned above.
4 - Initiating conversation with a stranger for no reason other than to tell them an odd factoid or pay a compliment, asking them if they have plans for the day, and when the stranger indicates that they are free, immediately excusing one's self from the conversation or otherwise snubbing them or flaking out of actually committing to spend time with them at any future date.

Get the Seattleite mug.(noun)
1. An basic reference to a resident of the City of Seattle. This is commonly in reference to anyone around the Seattle area, but when properly used, concerns only with the residents of the City. A resident of Mercer Island or Bellevue, for example, are not "hip" enough to be considered to be true Seattleites.
2. (slang) A mildly derogative term for someone who consumes an excessive amount of coffee. This definition developed under the common conception that all Seattleites do is drink coffee, listen to indie rock, and act snobby.
3. A pretentious "hipster" who resides anywhere in western Washington, reads "The Stranger," and thinks they are "open-minded" because they attended an anti-WTO rally. Phyiscal characteristics may include pretentious goatee and somber paleness. Unmatching "hipster" clothes are also a must.
