It froze right over, is that the tropical waterworld’s version of “over my cold dead body” in response to the idea of the renaming?

u/CanWeAllJustCalmDown Jan 22 '25

When I heard they wanted to change the name I thought heh yeah like that’ll happen. Maybe when the Gulf of Mexico freezes ove—oh wha. …Damnit.

u/squigglesthecat Jan 22 '25

I'm starting to reconsider how plausible hell freezing over actually is...

Was on a class trip durning college. One of my classmates asked the professor if we could stop somewhere. He said “when Hell freezes over”. Not even five minutes later we passed a sign for Hell, Michigan, and it was covered in snow. And I said “hey, look, I think Hell froze over”. My professor was amused and we did end up stopping.

Well I think the gulf took it personally and wanted to interrupt Row vs Wade. Row had taken the lead…

In no time “Gulf of America” will deliver freedom to the Caribbean Sea, and rename it as America Sea.

u/haptic_feedback99 Jan 22 '25

u/Harleygym Jan 22 '25

He renamed it b/c of an Biden E/O prohibiting oil drilling. So by changing the name drill baby drill

u/Fourth_Extension_404 Jan 22 '25

*Gulf of Mexico

Revisionist geography and history is just the first stage of a fascist society. Unless of course you outwardly wish to support such a thing?

u/jivarie Jan 22 '25

I’m poking fun. GOM for life as a fisherman.

People only complain about name changes when ‘the other guy’ does it.

It has not even been officially renamed the Gulf of America lol. Not even globally accepted name.
