AZOI, you are not spending enough time here.
If you did you would know that Brooklyn, NY is the center of the universe.
Everyone from any other place (possibly, but not definitely, including Yerushalayim) is referred to as OOT.
(OOT is a pejorative, not a compliment.)
Try this experiment:
Take a globe.
Find Brooklyn.
If you can’t, settle for NYC.
Put your finger on the spot you have found.
Notice- your finger is exactly at the center of the globe.
See?
