The term bicoastal refers to populations that are found on the East and West Coasts of North America but not the center, or to people (especially in the United States) who split their time between the two coasts. A stereotypical bicoastal person might split their time between such Northeastern US cities as New York, Boston, or Philadelphia and western seaboard cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco, and is well educated and cosmopolitan.

  • The term bicoastal refers to populations that are found on the East and West Coasts of North America but not the center, or to people (especially in the United States) who split their time between the two coasts. A stereotypical bicoastal person might split their time between such Northeastern US cities as New York, Boston, or Philadelphia and western seaboard cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco, and is well educated and cosmopolitan. Although "bicoastal" connotes sophistication when used by those to whom the label would apply, it may be intended as a pejorative when used by political conservatives to imply snobbery and membership in the "liberal elite". As a corollary, the term "flyover country" has currency among bicoastal individuals as a derisive label for the regions of the United States that lie between the areas they frequent. This has prompted some coastal residents to counter with the term Fly to state emphasizing their residence in an ostensibly more desirable location.
  • 両岸層（りょうがんそう、英: bicoastal）は、アメリカ合衆国北東部（ニューヨーク、フィラデルフィアなど）および西岸部（ロス・アンゼルス、サン・フランシスコなど）の住民を指した言葉。 「学歴が高く、大陸中部の州に比べて金持ちで、政治的には左派あるいはリベラルである」という含み（ステレオタイプ）で用いる。レッテルであり、皮肉、批判、自嘲などの意味あいをこめて使われる。
