Coastism

Workplace favoritism shown toward employees on one coast (typically the coast where leadership is based) over employees on the other coast, when a company has offices in both. The favored coast gets wined and dined, invited to spontaneous team outings, and showered with office events, while the other coast gets a Teams message and a sad desk lunch.

Corporate took the whole East Coast team out for a happy hour again, meanwhile we haven't had a team lunch in six months -- this is straight up coastism.

Massive-Coatism

Massive-Coatism is when a person is incapable of not wearing a massive coat everywhere they go, with the hood up, despite extremely hot weather or inappropriate situations. In extreme cases the subject will even wear the the coat to bed.

A person engaging in the practice of massive-coatism will become defensive the moment another person innocently asks them why they're wearing a coat in 40 degree weather, or why do they wear that coat at all times. The reasons for Massive-Coatism aren't all too clear, but it would appear to be linked to anxiety about ones body, or simply feeling safe completely concealed by a giant coat.

Josh: Dude, why are you wearing that massive coat in the middle of summer at the beach?

Mike: It's not that hot.

Josh: Mate, you're sweating.

Mike: I'm fine.

Josh: Honestly bro, you look boiling.

Mike: WELL WHY DO YOU CARE IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE TO WEAR IT! STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT IT.

Josh: I think you might have Massive-Coatism
