According to the Urban Dictionary, one definition of Nantucket red, particularly when worn by adult males, is “douchebag.” In that context, it is supposed to conjure up the vaguely-rapey Kennedy cousin, the villainous rich frat boy from whom you should never accept a drink, the Slytherin set.

I didn’t grow up on this coast, and so the color itself doesn’t bring up that image for me. That said, no question that dude is here on the island… and whether it’s fair to the Bronco Owners Association or not, in my worldview this is his car.
