Screw Metrosexual. Metronatural is the Cool New Made Up Word

Seattle, home to Seattle Grace, McDreamy, McSteamy and…oh wait…that’s the TV show. Though just like the show, the real Seattle likes to make up words too and has defined itself as Metronatural, a sort of mash-up representing the Seattle metro area’s close proximity to vast, natural wilderness. No doubt, this word will get much play in the media and we can’t wait for New York-based Gawker’s take on it seeing as New York is/was home to the Metrosexual. Anyway, we’re told this bit of brilliance is the result of a year’s work. Seattle-based agency Exclaim is to be blamed…uh…credited with creating the concept which will, we’re told, be plastered all over the world as part of a worldwide publicity campaign.
