I love responding with references to "Second World" countries, a term nobody recognizes 🤣

I don't think we're ever gonna get rid of this one. Developing nation is still immediately recognizable as an alternative, at least.
I was trained on Core/Periphery back when I was in school but that's pretty niche.

You may be right but I see more professional outlets actually using "LDC" etc instead more and more, finally.
But yeah, it's really ingrained and most not-in-this-niche folks don't have any idea that's where the terms come from.
