I don't think John Mellencamp will change his lyrics. But we should all assail ICE with:
"Sayin' its your job ol' hoss,
Sure don't make it right,
But if you want me to, I'll say a prayer,
For your soul tonight."

No, they're going to call it "the America" now. Or they will be doxxed. And then....

I grew up about 500 feet from "the Gulf," and you are right.

Every time this topic comes up, this is all I hear:

Yeah. Short for the gulf of MEXICO

That like here in Alaska. No one ever called the mountain Mt. McKinley. She’s always been Denali, the great one, and she always will be.

I just searched the old name on google, and they redirected me to the new map with the new name, so I guess I have to quit asking.

When will he start calling the state "New America"?

dawnlaurier.bsky.social•10 days ago

Exactly. We only use its full name if we're extremely pissed off at it.

And if we need to be more specific, it's always gonna be "Gulf of Mexico." (Texas here)
