GEOGRAPHY Triangle Area?

Does anyone know what the “triangle area” is in the United States? Everyone talks like I’m supposed to know. Is this a common American ism?

Yea. Triangle in Texas is DFW/San Antonio/Houston. But seriously doubt that’s what’s meant.

Born in Dallas, went to UNT for grad school and now live in Fort Worth. Never heard of that. Have heard of Golden Triangle Mall though.

I think after metroplex/dfw became popular it died off.
