The Coast

The Mississippi Gulf Coast; the area within southern Mississippi that is along the Gulf of Mexico. Best known for its beaches, casinos, Mardi Gras parades, seafood, and military installations. It is one of the most diverse areas in Mississippi. Comprised of Jackson, Harrison, and Hancock counties. The cities on The Coast are (from east to west): Moss Point, Pascagoula, Gautier, St. Martin, Ocean Springs, D'Iberville, Biloxi, Gulfport, Long Beach, Pass Christian, Bay St. Louis, and Waveland. Locals may also refer to the area as "The 228" (228 being the area code).

Person 1: So where are you from?

Person 1: So like, farmland and stuff?
Person 2: No, I'm from the very bottom of the state. The Coast. Its where all the beaches are.

mapping the coast

1. The conversational equivalent to the phenomenon of coastline measurements* - getting so bogged down in the details of something that explaining it becomes impossible.

* The closer one looks at a coastline, the longer it gets.

2. Getting repeatedly lost/tangential while speaking and never completing a thought or idea. Often the result of being high.

1.
Cedric: It was last Tuesday; no I think Wednesday morning at 11:30, well, 11:40; no it was Tuesday because I was wearing my blue shirt-

Bored Colleague: Cedric, you're mapping the coast. Shut up or just tell me what happened.

2.
Dude 1: So, have you thought about what I said last night?

Dude 2: Yeah, you spent 3 hours mapping the coast and I nearly died of boredom. I'm not getting high with you again.
