'Central Coast Syndrome' meaning

2 definitions

Joey
An asocial behaviour, people with the Central Coast Syndrome typically do not want any contact with other people. They go to work/school/university and back again without talking to anyone that they do not already know. Originated from the Central Coast of Australia, commonly affecting international students coming to study at the University of Newcastle, Ourimbah, Australia.
- Example: - I havent spoken to any locals for over 2 months, even though I see them every day in class! - Yeah man I know what you mean, its the Central Coast Syndrome!

I think that definition is complete nonsense. For a start, Newcastle University is nowhere near Ourimbah, which is way south. I don’t actually think “Central Coast Syndrome” is a real thing.
- Example: don't actually think "Central Coast Syndrome" \is a real thing.
