It took me a moment to remember what the Gulf of America is. What stupidity.

You're not stupid!

It's a body of water south of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.

It used to be called the Gulf of Mexico.

Still is everywhere else.
So, it is surrounded by the least educated states. I guess that explains the stupid name.
Yup
