      To me, this is like how “The Mid-West” is in central/Eastern USA, and “The Middle East” is not actually anywhere near the Mid-West, but in Western Asia.

      Arbitrary phrases that sound like they would have concrete/objective definitions in relation to one another, but are actually defined by culture, history, and however the person using them interprets them, lol
