    As somebody not from the US of A… What is a “salt life decal” and who would or wouldn’t have one?

      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

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

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

            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.
