The expression "lower 48" means the continental US, without Alaska and Hawaii.

Always has been, always will be...

No, it is not......:smack :* I posted more head slaps than you, this automatically discredits your post and makes mine more creditable.

I don't think all the search results for "the lower48" came from Alaskans.
and my poll also backs my position up even tho you are not going to acknowledge it.

it's been fun, but this time your not as right and that is O.K.

It's all Alaskans responding to that "poll," and with all due respect their opinion means very little to me.

lol and why not go to the folks who use the term most.

You don't often hear someone from the lower 48 refer to it as the Continental US or the lower 48, they just call it America or the USA.

and I get tired of the.
Is so!
Is not!
Back and forth without anyone backing it up.
So, I though I would ask some unbiased folks in Alaska.
Thus the poll.
Even the google search results back up thet the term the lower 48 is much more popular than the term the Continental US.
Yet some still come back with, Is not!

So when is the 32nd state, located in the lower 48 going to see some of this winter weather and don't you just enjoy complaining about it or bragging it up?
