third coast
The Gulf coast. Originally used to refer to the Texas coast and sometimes Texas in general, it now has expanded to generally mean the entire American region bordering the
Gulf of Mexico. While the term has been used for several decades in business names and
catch phrases, the recent attention that Southern
Hip Hop music has garnered has brought it into the limelight.
