geographic diversity

A variety of place and geographic identity within a relatively small area.
When a "neighborhood" is thought of to have a much smaller area and than is designated by most newspapers, other publications, travel websites, as well as philistines, that is geographic diversity.
While metropolitan areas are usually the antithesis of geographic diversity, such metropolitan areas as the San Fransisco Bay area, Hampton Roads VA, the Tampa Bay Area FLA, Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton PA/NJ, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/etcetera PA, the North Carolina Research triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Cary/Chapel Hill/Wake Forest), as well as any "tri-cities," "quad-cities or any other metropolitan area domminated by multiple cities are good examples of metropolitan areas which contain geographic diversity. Any smaller or average sized county which contains multiple towns with their own identities contains geographic diversity (on the other end, merged city/county governments such as Louisville KY are geograpically homogenous). Any state, provence or small country which is domminated by multiple cities, or at least may lack one single primate city (and the identityless sprawl surrounding it) are also geographically Diverse.
Geographic diversity means being able to go from one town or city to another and then another while travelling just a short distance.

In a large border city, one will often find geographic diversity on the other side of the said boudary.
Thanks to suburban sprawl, the accompanying horizontal expansion of metropolitan areas (as well as the increased identification within one), the consolidation of post offices, far-flung airports containing the name of a major city 2 miles away, and all the job growth moving to the boondocks right outside major cities, we're going to see less and less geographic diversity in the time yet to come.

People simply don't start towns anymore, just suburbs.

There are no suburbs, only sprawl, edge cities, and towns that have been imperialized.

diversity challenge

1. The annoying difference of others.

2. A person whose inherent personal characteristics, background or behavior is irritating or unpleasant.

3. The struggle to resist treating others less favorably because of their race, sex, sexual orientation, age or other inherent personal characteristic.
Sharing a lift full of Indian students after lunch on a hot Summers day is a fucking diversity challenge!

"Bossy? Doesn't listen? Sounds like your new boss Shoshana Steinberg is gonna be a diversity challenge!"

two-dimensional organism

A type of mythical creature in the science-fiction/fantasy world that exists in only two dimensions. Is incapable of seeing the third dimension. The most notable feature is that it is required to eat and excrete out of the same orfice. That is, if the digestive system had 2 openings, it would cut the organism in two.
A two-dimensional organism's mouth is also its anus.

Even an ameoba is not a two-dimensional organism.

Dimension

Pronunciation: Dēmen-shuns

A plane of existence often compared with geometrical shapes. There are a total of 26 spacial dimensions according to theoretical physics. However, pop culture has twisted its meaning and associate dimensions with universes. For example, travelling to a different dimension is usually thought of as travelling to a different universe. The term "Interdimensional" supports this claim by having a connotation related to that of the multiverse. It is important to understand the difference between these two, because movies and TV shows are getting the science of theoretical and astrophysics wrong.
Friend: Bro, did you watch "Phineas and Ferb; Across the Second Dimension"? It was LIT!
Me: Yeah, but the title is incorrect in so many levels. First off,the animation is in 2d. That's like saying humans reaching the 3rd dimension. Second,they meant universe. A dimension is a plane of existence,not a universe. Pop culture keeps getting that wrong. And finally, it shouldn't even be a universe. The laws of physics in that second universe would be incompatible for the lead cast members. It should be called an alternate timeline, in which Dr.Doofenschmirtz succeeds at dominating the Tri-State area (even though he can go bigger and dominate the world, he does have the technology to do so).
Friend: I think you've been reading "Hyperspace" far too many times, you're overthinking a kids movie.
