Name given to members of the US Coastguard. They are known in towns with Coastguard bases for their pirate-like behavior of plundering the town's resource of women and local bars or taverns.
I have been personally told by many of them that they do not like mere civilians calling them that and many of them say that they were the ones who began calling themselves that.
"Kat really likes those Coastie guys. It must be the hot navy blue clothes they wear for work everyday."
OR
"The Coasties really used to come to our town and act like a bunch of pirates by plundering the local bars and taking over the local women. It isn't so much now since the new boat and it not needing as big a crew as the old one"
