“excuse me, Third World, the, uh, the Southern Hemisphere.”

Vietnam has broken loose from Asia and has floated off into the southern hemisphere.

This was news to me, but apparently, we aren’t supposed to talk about “Third World” countries anymore.

Apparently we are to refer to the Southern Hemisphere as code words for such countries, even if such countries are actually in the Northern Hemisphere.

Maybe that’s because most of Sub Saharan Africa is in the Southern Hemisphere?
