Maybe a year or two ago, in a thread, we had a discourse that showed that some in the U.K. had no idea what we in the U.S. meant when we said "country".   It really meant a nation with borders to them----so why in the world did we call it COUNTRY MUSIC in the U.S.?

I explained that the use of the word Country---as in the Music-- meant "rural" as opposed to "urban"! It means the part of our nation where farms and small town were more prevalent.

It's fascinating how easily we can talk to each other and still have no clue about what we are really saying.
