How does one person talk to another person who named a thing? Well, you can either meet in person and use your mouths, or you can pick up a phone....

(I'm genuinely confused by the "How?" question)

Not OP... all I could come up with is they didn't remember US east vs east US, so landed on EU2 meaning 'east US 2.'

Consider multinational orgs - "EU2", and collisions with English when speaking "you too".
