metro area Explanation: Short for "metropolitan area." This is how I'd phrase it if I were talking about a similar situation in the U.S. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day7 hrs (2009-02-10 16:00:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You hear this used for smaller towns in the U.S. as well as large cities. For example, you'll hear people discuss the Salinas-Monterey metro area or the Santa Cruz/Monterey metro area. |
