No worries, I definitely know that feeling!
I read your response to yasmine and it is more clear. I'd say it could be because white-European countries have so much world power, that is why some other countries are more apt to take "our" names for some of their own trends. And it's not just American naming trends that are adopted by other countries. We get the back of the British naming trends somewhat, I think. At least currently, more upper-class people BAs might look straight out of England. At least in my experience.
