Ahh, but it's never really been about where a particular thing arose, has it? Few people think wine or cheese were invented in the EU. It's about where they have taken on a distinct form and become essential to the culture.

I fear you are correct in that the UK has a strong claim on all counts here. That said, I think the Ohio River Valley has a distinctive form of sarcasm to the bone-dry wit of Albion.

the thing takes its name from the place, rather than the place taking its name from the thing though, so sarcasm can stay as sarcasm, and you can call the Ohio River valley wit something more specific
