East-Coast

In reference to the Eastern 16 or so states in the United States.

The following are definitely in this group: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, {Washington D.C}, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida.

The New England states (ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, RI) are well known for having fairly high population densities (on average), their lobster, and the lovely season of Autumn.

The Tri-States (PA, NY, NJ) basically aren't really the same at all. PA has a low PD and is known for their redneckedness sometimes. However they have a ton of American history there. NY is known for the one city in the most southern point of the state, New York. New Jersey has the highest PD and is made fun of for being a place you don't really want to grow up in, but probably had to if you did.

The Capital Area (MD, DE, Wash.D.C) are well known for either being the capital or being close to it.

The Southern States (VA, NC, SC, GA, FL) are also more often than not made fun of their redneckedness (minus FL, they are borderling Cajun there). Moonshine, Peaches, and Disney World provide the structure for the economy over yonder.

East-Sweden

A country commonly known as Finland. It is filled with Swedes and Swedish-Finns. All people in East-Sweden speak Swedish but most of the Swedish-Finns have been brainwashed into thinking they are simply "Finns" and thus refuse to speak a proper language in public and instead "comunicate" with long strings of nonsese.

East Indian

{noun} a modern self-coined term used to describe the identity of an Indian Catholic Christian whose ancestry is from the Malabar coast of the Indian subcontinent. The two factors - geographic and religious are the identifying traits of this community as opposed to a common language, skin color, etc. Therefore “East Indian” is not an ethnic group (like African-American, Mongols, Mayans, Nepali, Nordic, Dravidian, etc) which can be separated from the rest of the Indian population on the basis of a specific DNA halogroup. However recent trends of migration to countries like Portugal & rest of Europe, Canada and adoption of foreign citizenship of those countries has shed the Indian identity (passport) for these people but retaining the Catholic Christian identity. Hence it is suitable to describe the “East Indian” as Catholic Christians from the Indian Malabar (west) Coast.

{adjective} relating to the East Indies of Caribbean.

Anthropology major: Yes, I’m looking for information on the East Indians. I’m going to do my project on that and take my East-Indian room-mate to class as a demo piece. Awesome huh?

Librarian: West Indian and East Indian or just East Indian?

Anthropology major: Umm it’s East Indians as in the red dot Indians. Asian. From India. You know what I mean?

Librarian: Oh yeah! We’ve got books on that. Introduction to East Indian Architecture, East Indian philosophy, Ancient sanitation systems of the East Indians, History of East Indian Maritime, Famous East Indian Explorers, Collection of East Indian proverbs, East Indian Script………….which one would you like?

Anthropology major: Uhh do you have anything in general like an introduction to East Indian culture maybe?

Librarian: I was just kidding. We don’t have any. My boyfriend has a European trance-techno magazine he bought from ebay. On the cover is “Goa is the mother of all psychedelic destinations. Who’s your German daddy?”

east coast

Made up of 14 states in the Union, the residents of the East Coast often seem to consider themselves, their states, their institutions, their history, their traditions and their beliefs superior to all others in the US. It is typical to hear an east-coaster speak derogatively about the people in the west, or the middle of the country. They often make an obvious point about how superior they believe themselves to be, in sophistication and in values.

However, what this < third of the country fails it realize is that their attitudes about themselves are entirely provincial. No one outside the east coast cares about their self-perceived superiority of which they constantly feel the need to remind everyone (particularly themselves).

Furthermore, is the east coast producing much real value for this country? Law, politics, and finance are their specialty industries. (HQ'd in NY, Wall Street, and Washington D.C.) Three sectors that have produced wonderful benefits for society.

The West Coast on the other hand is the home of places like Silicon Valley, from which a plethora of beneficial technologies, including the internet, emerged.

So while the east coast continues to produce most of the nation's lawyers, bankers, and politicians, while reminding themselves and everyone else of their superiority over the rest of the nation, the west coast enjoys both far more sunshine as well as the production of actual inventions of value that improve the well being of people everywhere.
