For clarification I'm changing it to Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

Rest assured that everyone outside of Texas has no idea what "the metroplex" means. I've never heard that term until now.

That also goes for people that live in the "Bay Area". That term always amuses me. I have to ask, "What, Hudson Bay, Chesapeake Bay, Tampa Bay, Bay of Fundy, which is it?" Like there's only one Bay in the entire world....

Sorry, I'll step down off my soapbox now...
