For example, in Washington Heights and Golan Heights, what does "heights" mean? What does it tell us about the place?

To be fair, I assume you're American and you guys call the main course the entrée. What else can one expect from uncultured barbarians that they don't respect the most basic laws of human decency? I mean, what's next? Wearing a hat inside? Disgusting.

Wait until you hear they call a pizza a "pie" 🧐🤨
