If you could make a little Eeyore emoticon to go with it, that would be peachy!

But not all of the Bitter East Coasters are depressed like Eeyore.

I think there's two variations:
1. Bitter East-Coaster: someone who is bitter about being on the east coast.
2. Bitter-East Coaster: someone who is on the east coast, but not (necessarily) bitter about it.

Whatever you anal retentive control freak. I have just always been looking for the perfect oppertunity to use "Eeyore" and "peachy" in the same sentance. Now my life is complete.

Guess that would make me #2, bitter and on the east coast.

If you're bitter (and clearly you are), you're #1. For #1, the person is bitter. For #2, the coast is bitter.

But if you're life is complete, then you're not bitter, so you'd be a #2.

I'd better stop it before I confuse myself further.

Now wait a second, I demand to be #2! Err, umm wait a second, let me put that another way....

I am bitter dammit. I live on the east coast.

I am not bitter because I live on the east coast.

I'm just bitter.

So that's clearly #2.

So I need definitions 1a and 1b. If you are bitter, you are a #1. So #1a will be bitter because of living on the east coast, and #1b will be bitter and living on the east coast.

Or you could just eliminate the hyphen entirely and be ambiguous about it.

But some days I AM bitter because I live on the East Coast and some days I'm just bitter.

So you're a #1, and you waver between sub-definitions a and b.
