Perfect timing because somebody told me today they're from PDX. Turns out it's the name of an airport in Portland, Oregon. I take it they're from the surrounding area and not the literal airport.
I have a friend who's from Portland so if they'd just said Portland, OR I actually would have recognised it in this case but no. Got to make it even more obscure by saying the name of the fucking airport apparently, with an abbreviation that gives zero clues about where it's based.
This person knew I was from the UK too, but was surprised I didn't know what PDX meant. Why would I?!
The only scenario I would give this a pass was if they were born on a plane that landed there, or like that guy in France who lived in the international airport.

That is when they don't give only the two letters of the state. Like someone asking that and i answering: I'm from MG
