Alex,
Yes, that is true all over the Earth except here on this list. Here,
it is neither rude nor exemplary, only normal and acceptable.
My basic point was that any figure of speech pushed far enough breaks
down. You are right, we won't even find a line denoting a person's front
yard. But stick your big toe over that unmarked line and his watchdog will
know exactly where it is and take your big toe off.
