For example, a bagel with cream cheese, tomato and onion tastes salty to me, but just cream cheese and onion or cream cheese and tomato alone do not have the salty taste., too, have suddenly noticed this word creeping into American English. I always thought it just meant tasty, but I guess the Brits use it to mean something like meaty. You've got your sweet pies (apple, etc.) and your savory pies (meat pies). But I guess meaty is just one type of savory.
As vastly different as they are, both Metropolis and Gotham City are supposed to be New York. (Indeed, Batman stories were set in New York durign the early 1940s.)

The term is Greek and means the mother city of a colony (in the ancient sense), that is, the city which sent out settlers. This was later generalized to a city regarded as a center of a specified activity, or any large, important city in a nation.A big city belonging to a larger urban agglomeration, but which is not the core of that agglomeration, is not generally considered a metropolis but a part of it.n Mexico, the term metropolis is used to refer to an urban area of economic, political, and cultural importance. Mexico City represents all three factors as it is the country's capital and financial center. Other metropolis are Monterrey and Guadalajara, both metropolitan areas population over 4,000,000 inhabitants.
