It will always be the Gulf of Mexico - eff that shit

[malaise]

The name "Gulf of Mexico" (Spanish: golfo de México; French: golphe du Mexique, later golfe du Mexique) first appeared on a world map in 1550 and a historical account in 1552. It has been the most common name since the mid-17th century, when it was still considered a Spanish sea.

1. I grew up on the Gulf. And it will always be The Gulf of Mexico.

[Shermann]

2. Yet somehow we can't rename crassly named military bases because it breaks with tradition! nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

4. Yeah

Funny that

[Solly Mack]

3. Yep.

[kimbutgar]

5. Exactly, all classrooms in the US will still have maps showing Gulf of Mexico

And I doubt the government will fund getting new maps in all US classrooms!

[Pinback]

15. LOL, hadn't thought of that!

Knowing these idiots, they’ll probably issue thousands of crudely printed stickers to put on classroom maps. Or better yet, just issue Sharpies.

6. I was just looking at cruise line websites for ships that sail out of Galveston.

Carnival and MCS still have references to the Gulf of Mexico. Interestingly, Royal Caribbean looks like it’s trying to thread the needle by not using any name. The ships depart from the Port of Galveston and when you click on the link to see a map, it draws a route across a large body of water that has no name at all.

7. Right arm, Malaise.

I'll never use that idiotic term.

12. I bet you don't eat Freedom Fries, either!

What are ya, a commie or something?

[yorkster]

14. Hell no and also too, to quote la Palina, I am

fond of all things French. I even parlay the lingo, so I hated that dumb ass, anti French
stoopidity.
Now, to address your question about commanism, ixnay to that, but kinda parshall to summa that soshalism...

10. It still is to the rest of the world. He could change the name of the planet Uranus

…to Planet Trump, but the rest of the world will still think of it as Uranus.

[COL Mustard]

13. And it would probably still smell better than he's supposed to.

Yuk.

[calimary]

17. We could nickname it "Hisanus".

[lastlib]

24. If he did, to the rest of the world, it would be.....

HIS anus.......

[forgotmylogin]

11. We had a local restaurant change ownership and names three times in 10 years

Everyone still calls it by the original name.

[tonekat]

16. If you Google Gulf of Mexico

You'll get "Gulf of America". There are 3 vertical dots to the side of the title you can click to reach a place to report inaccurate information. Let 'em know.

[calimary]

20. I just tried that and it didn't work for me.

And I’m STILL gonna call it the Gulf of Mexico.

I cannot believe how many people and entities are caving in this!

[Deuxcents]

26. I did it twice today.

[spanone]

18. I'm with you....

fuck that shit and trmp

[tavernier]

19. I'm petitioning to change the Atlantic Ocean to the

Democratic Ocean. It just has a nice ring to it. And I hear we can name anything we want to these days

[Quixote1818]

21. The next Dem president can change it back. 70% of the population want it to be the Gulf of Mexico. nt

[DinahMoeHum]

22. Just sayin'. . .

[BattleRow]

29. Considering his love of the sport...

Golf of America

[Hassler]

25. If we are renaming things, I like Gulf of FU T****

[tornado34jh]

27. Ask yourself this and think what would happen

What if tomorrow Russia said that the Bering Sea is the Sea of Russia? Or what Cuba decided to name the Straits of Florida the Straits of Cuba or the Straits of Fidel Castro? You then open a Pandora's box where now everyone can decide to name features however they see fit. Their logic, not mine.

[Bluethroughu]

28. I will never say it differently, what are they gonna do about it, put you in jail??

Gulf of Mexico

With lots of Mexicans in and around it!

[chouchou]

30. I've made a pact to never say Gulf of -------.

[Grammy23]

31. I have spent a huge portion of my life

Living, playing and working near the Gulf. I currently live about a 20-30 minute drive to reach the beautiful green water and white sugar sand beaches along the Gulf. Locals usually just refer to the Gulf, but we all know which Gulf they mean. It has been the Gulf of Mexico and will continue to be the Gulf of Mexico. Donald tRump can jump into the Gulf of Mexico for his efforts to impose his idiotic will on everyone.

32. Gulf....and that's it...

I lived in Corpus (stationed at NAS) and people just refer to it as the Gulf….
