Californians: “idk, he just kept asking and I kept saying, like, the beach? The coast? The seaside? Eventually he just stormed off in a huff, but, yeah, no, super weird guy. I still don’t know what he wanted.”
Context: as long as I’ve been on the west coast, I’ve literally never heard anyone call it the shore.
Lmao, I was having the same thought. “Shore” wouldn’t have crossed my mind unless I’m talking about Gulf Shores. And that’s a beach town in my mind. Hell, I grew up close enough to Jersey and have lived near the Gulf of Mexico for over 20 years; “shore” just isn’t in my vocab like that

Lived in FL for 28 years and the last time I heard it called the shore was in Ocean City, MD In 1997
Yea we call our side the Eastern Shore.
