I like how Sweden is a third-world country according to that definition.
But seriously, I don't think that's how people use this term any more. It's just a synonym for developing country by now.
I also like this definition from Urban Dictionary: "Any country that owes rolls of money to the IMF and the World Bank."
- sdrothrock 12y agoYeah. I usually don't pick this particular nit in common speech, but when you talk historically, it sounds really weird to say that the Industrial Revolution gave rise to the Third World.
