A cool word I probably overuse is "sketch", which I've only ever known to be used on the West coast. I'm in Vegas, which is landlocked in the desert but we seem to be a bit of an extension of The Left Coast, Vegas being the only blue region of Nevada. As far as I can tell the word percolated down to us through alt and underground culture, primarily hitting my network through early 2000's trading of skateboard VHS tapes. A lot of our memes came from those vids, 2005's Baker 3 being the apex of that cultural transference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Skateboards#Videography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Skateboards#Videography). "Sketch" is a bastardization of "sketchy", and depending on which of those variations someone in my town uses to describe a person or a situation, I know whether they'll share certain cultural touchstones with me.
