Gothamist: How about WeGoCo for "West Gold Coast?"

Felix: the gold refers to the cost and the coast refers to the complete lack of effort it takes a broker to sell an apartment in this city. Hence, everything is the gold coast.You've been on a kick about truth in advertising with these real estate folk. I appreciate that, and what it has taught me is that I really want to date a real estate agent. Think about how great that would be. I could descend into a state of total sloth and ineptitude, and I would still be talked up all over town about how 'hot' and 'sought after' I was. My member would be larger (or at least described in vague adjectives that made it seem to be more than anyone deserves for the money they have), and stature increased. Ladies of Elliman, come take a look at my 'gold coast.'

Still confused, maybe I need more pills. "Gold Coast" should be "gold coast" and then all's right with the world? What about "sought after"? I wonder if Mr Elliman divides Manhattan's gold coast locations into "sought after" and "not sought after"... or maybe the "sought after" is just there as a little hint to those of us too ignorant to know what "gold coast" means. But this whole thing does raise the question of which bits of Manhattan count as "gold coast". Would, say, the corner of Lafayette and Bond qualify? Or how about 55th between 5th and 6th?

Felix, baby, back on the meds for you! Nice answer, Janine.
