Well, actually..."fajita", at least, IS a specific cut of meat,
in its original usage (as the etymology of the word itself
makes clear). See:

Admittedly, in its current American usage, "fajitas" has come
to mean a specific dish, regardless of the meat it's prepared
with. But it IS also, or at least was, a specific cut - which is
all Steve was claiming for "London broil" as well. I have
no idea why some people feel that they simply MUST object
to this.
