As somebody not from the US of A... What is a "salt life decal" and who would or wouldn't have one?

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 39 points 2 months ago

Took me a long time to realize it wasn't slut life.

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 months ago

In Utah there's plenty of people who unironically wear shirts with SL,UT on them.

Bumper stickers as well

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago

I'll buy that if I ever travel there

[-] Kyatto@leminal.space 1 points 2 months ago

I want to go there just to get the shirt tbh

I'll copy my response to the other person who was also confused by the reference:

In America, there's a very popular car windshield decal sticker that people put on that says "Salt Life." It specifically just means someone visited a popular beach vacation spot called Myrtle Beach, SC. The people who put it on tend to being almost exclusively sporty douchebags and suburban moms.

That's about it.

Edit: changed NC to SC

[-] dan1101@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

Just to be precise, Myrtle Beach is in SC. I didn't think the slut life stickers were exclusively from there though.

[-] InquisitiveApathy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Ah, thanks for the correction I'll edit the comment. I always think NC for some reason, but both Carolinas are pretty interchangable in my mind.

Ah so the German equivalent would be the Sylt sticker

You think it's the worst... And then there are those who want to ramp it up to 11.

[-] froh42@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Time to make a punk leather jacket with the sylt logo on the back.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago
[-] InquisitiveApathy@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Huh, that's somehow way worse. I always was under the impression that it was only Myrtle Beach.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 13 points 2 months ago

That's because both are "the redneck reviera"

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm from Arkansas. We vacationed in both Pensacola and Destin. God dammit

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Most folks in the central US who want a beach vacation drive down to Floribama. Most if not all Salt Life stickers from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, western Tennessee, etc are born in the Florida panhandle.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

My wife and I are from the midwest and laugh at all the sLuT LiFe stickers on Jeeps nowhere close to the ocean.On a trip to Jacksonville Beach there was a spinoff restaraunt which was like Hooters had a baby with the Gap.

[-] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I had to go look because that was just too interesting of a description. And damn if that’s not exactly it.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 9 points 2 months ago

I'm from west coast USA and I've also never heard of this.
