As Americans talking about America, we always seem to use “back” when we talk about the East (“back East”) but we use “out” when we talk about the West (“out West”).  Some vestigial frontier mentality, I expect.

Human communication is so beautifully weird.  I love how the term “Greatest of All Time” evolved into “G.O.A.T.” which, in turn, evolved into just an emoji of an actual goat.
