Coastie

Name given to members of the US Coastguard. They are known in towns with Coastguard bases for their pirate-like behavior of plundering the town's resource of women and local bars or taverns.

I have been personally told by many of them that they do not like mere civilians calling them that and many of them say that they were the ones who began calling themselves that.
"Kat really likes those Coastie guys. It must be the hot navy blue clothes they wear for work everyday."

"The Coasties really used to come to our town and act like a bunch of pirates by plundering the local bars and taking over the local women. It isn't so much now since the new boat and it not needing as big a crew as the old one"

west coast

Region with lower test scores, higher crime rates, and higher obesity rates than the East Coast. Where people spend millions to build homes precariously perched on hillsides, only to have them swept away in a mudslide or burned down in a forest fire a few years later and then rebuilt. Worst urban sprawl in the world, contributing to unprecedented environmental destruction and attributed in part to a car culture that keeps the U.S. in OPEC's pocket. Go to British Columbia and everything is instantly nicer.
New York alone is more energy-efficient than Seattle or Portland, and has lower crime and obesity rates than any major city on the West Coast.
