Lets talk about differences between the east coast and the west coast

West Coast - Freeways

East Coast - Interstate

East Coast: Hellmans. West Coast: Best Foods.

"What do you do?" on the East Coast means "What do you do for a living?"

"What do you do?" on the West Coast means "What do you do for fun?"

East Coast "wicked" = West Coast "hella"

One originated in Boston, the other in the Bay Area, but both seem to be spreading.

West coast (CA): at the beach

East: Earthquakes. Big deal.

West: Earthquakes. No big deal.

East: Flooding.

West: Drought.

Also I don't think the east coast has 66 movie screens in a city of about 200,000! Yes that would be Ontario California.

West Coast: In 'N Out Burger

East Coast: None

East Coast: Seven Feet of Snow Last Winter (recorded by my brother in Boston)

West Coast: None

West Coast: Many institutions of higher learning

East Coast: Only recognizes Stamford and UCLA on West Coast as decent schools...

East Coast: Loud, pushy, and rude

West Coast: Entitled, selfish, and demanding

How quickly you forget New Hampshire, R11. Oh hell, let's through in 80% of Massachusetts while we're at it.

Actually, r8, the East Coast recognizes Stamford as a CT suburb of NYC.

Seriously? You do realize we have higher mountains and TONS of snow, right?

[quote]West. THE 80

People only say "The (route number)" in Southern California, and since I-80 is not in the south, that's not a common expression.

East coast: long, narrow butter sticks.

West coast: short,, stubby butter sticks.

I'm on the east coast and I saw tennies. I think tennies is east coast and R20 is drunk.

I AM drunk and sipping Sam Adams from my tennie, like a tipsy Disney mouse. (*Hick)

I've never heard anyone on EITHER coast say "tennie" and would groan loudly if I did!

by Anonymousreply 24August 23, 2015 5:32 PM

I heard it from a Californian, a grown man, and yes it sounded a little cringeworthy. I hate it when words are turned into babyspeak (like "sunnies" and "pressies" and "lippie").

I found those here in LA just last week. I got confused as to where I was.

I've expressed my dislike of the term "sammie" here previously, R25.

Here in Seattle, they put marshmallow fluff in the Jewish section!

Five Guys are popping up like genital warts all over the West Coast.

Is marshmallow fluff considered a NYC thing?

For years, I squeezed my East Coast butter sticks into my California- made butter dish. Didn't know about EC butter v WC until a couple of years ago.

The West Coast doesn't like popcorn. I should have stayed there.

You can get east coast butter in the west-- Land'O'Lakes and other national brands have it. But store brands and local brands still have western sticks.

Eastern sticks are called Elgins; western sticks are called Western Stubbies.

I've noticed the fat sticks popping up in the east, so maybe everyone is going to that.

I just bought a long butter stick here in LA. I never see the short ones. Are they in the 4-pack boxes?

R29 We have marshmallow fluff here. I never knew about it while growing up in Ohio, but have seen 2-3 different brands of it at supermarkets in the San Fernando Valley.

by Anonymousreply 42August 31, 2015 2:26 AM

The Marshmallow Fluff thing is funny. Never knew it was considered an East Coast/Jewish thing. I could swear I used to see commercials for "fluffernutter" sandwiches as a kid (fluff and peanut butter).

I don’t know how far east it extends, but in the Midwest, drinking fountains are called bubblers.

East Coast: gays in twee outfits, upwardly mobile, work hard/play hard, on speed or coke and truvada

West Coast: tatted out gays with no higher education promoting themselves 24/7 on instagram; stars in their own minds; either on meth or coke or completely AA sober and sex addicted.

Its NYC v LA, San Fran v Philadelphia, Seattle v. Boston, Phoenix v. DC!, Portland v. Charlotte (Atlanta is southwest of Cleveland, so it's wrong to consider it East Coast).

by Anonymousreply 48September 5, 2015 5:51 PM

San Fran is more like New York than LA.

Really r47? New Yorkers both work harder and can drink Angelenos under the table. That is the whole idea of work hard/play hard

Though Londoners beat New Yorkers.
