Fwiw, a "face book" is a thing you would get at Harvard (and Yale and presumably lots of other schools too but I'm not sure), kind of like a yearbook but at the start of freshman year instead of the end. So for the earliest thefacebook.com users, the name was actually familiar. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_book

Its a thing in all US high schools - so for US searchers it would be very obvious

Back in the 70's in the UK one of our American teachers mentioned then in our general studies class when we where doing America one term - she refused to show us her entry :-)

It's definitely not a thing in all US high schools. I'm pretty sure yearbooks are the thing most US high schools have.

Might be regional our American English Teacher was from the posh east cost and a "facebook" was what she called it.

No, definitely not a thing at "all US high schools."

I can believe it's a thing at really posh high schools though.
