All these differing definitions of North, South, East, and West remind me
of the differing definitions of "Yankee":

In Europe, a Yankee is anyone from the USA.

In Louisiana, a Yankee is anyone from north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

In New York, a Yankee is anyone from New England.

In Massachusetts, a Yankee is anyone from Maine.


And while we're on the subject of Yankees, do you know the difference between
a "yankee" and a "damnyankee" (one word, please) to a southerner?
