The shoulders of the world

Is it really far fetched to call Alaska the shoulder-state (Axlarríki, Axlrískur; there's no 'state' at the eastern (Russian) shoulder of the world), or to call the Bering strait Axlasund (the strait between Ýmir's shoulders) and the Indian race 'Axlsyndingar' (people who crossed the "shoulder-strait", refering to the part of the Mongolian race that crossed the strait and became the native inhabitants of the America's)?
No, not really. The Afro-Eurasian and American landmass get "narrower up north" if you move towards the outermost eastern and western extremes. When you make the comparison with a human body, in this case the body of the mythological giant Ýmir, from whose flesh the earth was created, it would take a complete anatomically illiterate to fail to see the comparison with 'shoulders'. I googled 'shoulder of the world' and I'm quite surprised that these geographical epithets for Alaska and easternmost Siberia are unexistent.
My idea of 'shoulders of the world is mainly based upon the notion of 'east' and 'west', which is according to some arbitrary. But it isn't. On the contrary. This notion is well-founded upon a almost universally established traditional view of the world that actually does make sense from both a geographical and a geological viewpoint. Most cultures living on the Afro-Eurasian landmass, the so-called 'Old World', considered Europe as being the 'evening land' (hence the German denotation 'Abendland'), or the western part of the world. Asians sometimes refer to their countries as 'Morning land', the East. The America's were considered to lie 'at the westernmost side of the world' instead of "more eastern than Asia". This makes sense from a geological viewpoint. On the original Pangaean Continent, the part what is now called America, was the western part of the ancient landmass and Asia was the eastern part. The formation of the Atlantic does by no means have to cast doubt on the fact that the America's can be considered to lie "West".
Another Argument is the establishment of the position of the Prime Meridian. In this respect, the landmasses have never in geological history been so well tectonicly arranged for an intelligent species to establish a prime meridian for their homeworld. The Easternmost part of the Eurasian Landmass is only narrowly separated from the Westernmost part of the American continent by the Bering strait. If you draw a line from the North to the South-pole through the middle of this narrow strait the line at the other end of the planet coincidentially runs through London, a fact which has possibly inspired some Anglophiles and British chauvenists in the past to think that God arranged the landmasses and the seas for the convenience of the British Navy. No, it is merely a coincidence that just now of all times, when intelligence on this planet begins to develop, the landmasses are lying so well tectonicly arranged (The Bering strait!) that even a moron might come up with the same suggestion for the position of a prime meridian.
