Gulf of America

I don't care what it's officially called. Like most here I just call it 'da Gulf'. :shrug:
I follow storms by coordinates anyway.
I get that. Here we go to "the Ocean' or "the beach"

If you live in Baltimore, it's "Youse goin' downey ayshin 'is weeken' hon?" Translated as "Are you going down to the ocean this weekend, hon?"
