A good friend of mine used this very term last night. She suggested it means to be assertive, frank, and open. I also believe there is some rampant liberalism and tree hugging involved.

I like this term and will be using it as a new catch-phrase. in fact I even pass it along to Stephen Colbert.

Tree hugging? Really? Do tell..... Yes, it is a derisive term used by certain segment of the population to describe those that are environmentally conscious. So yes, feel free to refer to me as that tree hugging liberal democratic Jew from NY

All East Coasters can use it, as long as they display and practice East Coastishness. As well as others, as long as they display it as well. Hiker definately fits in there...

I think its more of a city term, but i dunno. I pasted it into my google search and found a blog called 7 Years in KY and its pretty much some NYC people bash KY people.

I lived in Montana for two years. I proudly displayed it there. Other than my ex-wife, I might have been the only practioner of East Coastishness in the state.

Oh Allen.... this is a phrase created by Waterloo and I.... it was made up by us. You are too sweet. I am neither from NY or against Kentuckians.

I have a good friend of mine on JSH that lives in Ky. In fact, she'll be passing through this way in a few weeks and we'll be meeting up for a day. As far as I know it's not anti-anything. At least as far as I'm concerned

I don't hug trees either, but if you read Waterloo, he said this term is used to mean enviromentally aware. I'm not Jewish or a New Yorka, but I am still practicing East Coastishness... I even live in Ohio now!

and tree hugging involved. Ummm.. Wrong coast. That would be over here. Where we still have a few trees worth hugging.

East coastishness? It's young, hip, cool and rockin'! Not young age-wise necessarily. It's all in the attitude. Most east coast folks can tell you that. Aaaaaay!
