I really hate the phrase "fly over country" in reference to all of the US that's more than 200 miles from one of the coasts.

I usually hear it used in a consciously ironic way. But I supposed that in order for it to be used that way, there has to be a base of sincere use of the term for the irony to lie on top of.

Well, if it is being used ironically, the irony usually too subtle for me.

Luckily it's not a phrase I hear very often.
