n. Refers to a person or people that have the name of a well known or popular geographical destination. The use of Place Names often causes confusion with the conversation audience due, often, to being likened to the destination rather than the person.
eg. Paris, London, Florida, Cleveland, Dallas, etc.
Jill: I think we should go see Paris.
Jack: Why? Eurotrips are over-rated.
Jill: No I mean Paris Hilton, I think it'd be fun, don't you?
Jack: ...No, that is like a million times worse than what I thought you meant and stop using Place Names, its confusing the hell out of me!
