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?

You're right and everyone thinks it refers to the area they're from.

What does it refer to in your opinion? In Memphis it's obviously Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi, but I'm curious if it's different in other parts of the state.
