Alright, I'll bite.

I grew up in Oklahoma and Texas. Didn't move to Tennessee until my 20s. No, we would not call it "warm water port." I've literally never seen anything bigger than a pond with ice on it. Why would it occur to me to mention it's warmth?

And where I'm from a sentence like "be slightly more cautious with your linguistic judgements" is the kind of pretentious nonsense that gets you disinvited from the barbecue so I recommend being slightly more cautious your own damn self.

Yeah, see, if you can't read my comment correctly, you might not be the best audience.

I explicitly wrote, that warm water port wasn't an usual term and that Texans wouldn't call such a structure harbor, but port since their port is literally called - wait for it - port.

Maybe a bit less BBQ and more reading comprehension would do you a favor.
