British Columbia. That land mass that separates Washington state from Alaska.

Thanks! I found out a minute later. I was just complaining about using those kind of acronyms on r/worldnews.

Where you not watching the Olympics in Vancouver 2010? Or heard of Expo '86?

Nope. Not interested in Winter Olympics and I don't know what's that expo about. Anyway, of course I've heard about Vancouver, but didn't know it was located in British Columbia. Just like an average Joe wouldn't know that Melbourne is in Victoria or Athens is in Attica.
