Lol I thought this for years! I always thought it was a bold choice for a bumper sticker. I was like "Ya! You do you!"
To be honest idk what they mean by salt life. Slut life I could wrap my head around. But salt? Do they harbor ambitions to become deckhands?
I really thought it was "slut life" for years until I thought, "Surely not this many people right?". So I searched online for slut life sticker and that's when I learned it was salt and not slut.
I grew up on the water. Saw these stickers everywhere. Cool, we all go to the beach all the time, we live on an island.
Then 7 years ago I moved to central PA. I see one of these stickers on cars here all the time. I’ve been making fun of it for years. I think they don’t know the river here is fresh water.
Do you see people with the Unsalted decals as well? There are a ton of those here in Michigan, with the same font, and I've seen them in surrounding states as well. Maybe the areas on the border should get Brackish stickers lol
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.
I went to Myrtle Beach once. I was super stressed out from my job and I had a deep need to see the ocean and it was the closest spot from where I was in terms of driving where I could see ocean.
What a shithole.
I'm glad I stayed in a tent in the state park and I hate camping.

That’s generous. Most of the ones I see are the fat rednecks with goatees. The kind who set a photo of them with a caught fish as their BoomerBook profile pic.
I’m rather late to the party, but a lot of posters seem to think Salt Life is geographical. It’s a brand name of clothing by Delta Apparel. They make a lot of other brands like MJ Soffe. That doesn’t mean that the decals aren’t put on cars driven by posers, though.
