Or, more likely, "Hey, you're from London. That's in England, isn't it?
Do you know the Smiths? They're an English couple we met last year. They
live in Aberdeen..." Etc. Note the multiple levels of cluelessness.

Umm. . . We get that from Brits. My favorite is "Oh, you're American! You must visit my friends the Thus-and-Sos. They live in California!"

Then you try to explain that the distance between Virginia and
California is roughly the same as the distance from London to Moscow.
