I’ve been to Marshall Islands, Kiribati, and FSM but never heard FSM called “Micronesia;” usually when people refer to Micronesia they’re referring the cultural region inclusive of FSM and the other two I mentioned, among others.
That’s cool, didn’t realize that slang existed, today I learned, thanks!
