coastal boy 

Coastal Boy: a white male native to the South Carolina Low Country. Coastal Boys are identifiable by their Performance Fishing Gear shirts, visors, and Costa Delmar sunglasses with croakies carefully placed on the back of the neck. The hair of a Coastal Boy is swept down in front and flipped up in the back, thus often confused for a classic Justin Bieber.

To jump around a lot, keep showing up at different places.

E.g. Never stay in one spot for long.
I.e. Business travelling. Band Touring.

Originally intended for large distances, hence "coast".
But nowadays (with more instant updating and specific geo tagging) not limited to. One might as well be showing up at different places (preferably peripherally opposite) in a city given a delimited time period.

Can be described as a more conscious type of jet lag. You are aware of your body not catching up to acclimatize to the new surroundings.
Seen on George's wall:
"Tuesday: George checked in @New York"
"Wednesday: George checked in @San Francisco"
"Friday: George checked in @Washington"

Response:
- Hehe :) travel a lot this week, George?
- Yes, I've been (feeling) a bit by coastal lately ;)

Coattails 

It's like when someone imitates someone else or does something cool after someone else already made it cool, basically saying someone is "riding the coat tails" of the person before them.
I did that already, gj coattails. Fucko.

When pronounced with an elonagted 'a' in the finaly syllabul, "coastal" becomes an extremely positive and complemtary adjective, with its usage somewhat like that of "safe".
