You are the only person I've ever heard call them home and away. Who's wrong, again?

I'm not...that's who. So, some ignorant fuckwit misnames a term and the press decides to use it and that makes it the right phrase? I know I've posted this example before, but since the search function isn't functional yet, I'll recap:

Student A: "Hey, have you heard we're playing Buttfuck State next year and the year after?"
Student B: "Nope, but that's cool."
Student A: "Yeah, they just announced a home-home series with them this morning."
Student B: "Uh, why are they playing both games at the same place?"
Student A: "What?"
Student B: "You just said 'home-home', meaning both games are at one team's home field."
Student A: "No it doesn't."
Student B: "Yeah, it does. It should be home-away, or maybe away-home depending on the order in which each team hosts, if one game is played at one place and the other game at the other place."
Student A: "That's stupid."
Student B: "No, it's fucking English."
Student A: "Well, that's what it's called."
Student B: "OK, which 'home' game is played here and which 'home' game is at Buttfuck St?"
Student A: "I don't remember."
Student B: "Well, if they used the term home-away or away-home you'd know, wouldn't you?"
Student A: "Doesn't matter. It's called home-home because each team has one game played at their home."
Student B: "Well, why don't they call it an 'away-away' series, since each team will play one game on the road?"
Student A: "That's doesn't make sense."
Student B: "Ohhhkaaay. What would you call a two-game series where both games are played at one teams' home field?"
Student A: "That's never happens."
Student B: "Bullshit. Ohio State played Youngstown State in a two-game series in 2007 and 2008, both at Columbus. Now that's a home-home for OSU and an away-away series for YSU."
Student A: "That's only because OSU would never go to YSU."
Student B: "Doesn't change what it should be called. By the way, OSU had a two-game series in 1984-1985 against Washington State with both games at Ohio Stadium. What would you call that?"
Student A: "Whatever dude."
Student B: "English, motherfucker, do you speak it?"

Or:

Student A: Did you hear we play a home-and-home series with BFS?
Student B: Did you know I heard on the internet that that must mean they're both played at the same field? Because English and whatnot.
Student A: Yea that, or it's called a home-and-home series because each team gets a game at their place, and isn't like that stupid Red River Rivalry or World's Largest Cocktail Party and played on a neutral field.
Student B: Well, that's still stupid and should be called home-and-away series, or away-and-home series to avoid confusion.
Student A: Oh that makes sense. So based on that, who's home and who's away? Or do you still need to google it anyways to see who's home and who's away?
Student B: Fuck you, I'm right.

Right. Don't come up with a rational replay, just say it's stupid. Gotcha.

I think the rational responses have been covered again and again, and yet you don't get it.

If you think those responses were "rational", there's no hope for you.
