Rustbelt Defined

Ever wondered what "officially" defines the rustbelt? Well here's a visual for you straight from Wikipedia:
(It kind of looks like one of those maps of your body where the problem areas are in red. Hmm, I wonder what that means...)

I recently found out that the Rustbelt starts "west of the Bosnywash corridor and running west to eastern Wisconsin". What is this Bosnywash??? Just a fancy word for the Northeast megalopolis. I propose that a similiar term is coined for the Rustbelt. How about Paohmiil? Or just Pail for short. Or maybe Ohpa. Or Chicmich. I think I'll have to work on this.
