location
In general conversation, 'location' is often used interchangeably with 'place'. However, 'location' usually sounds more precise or technical, like when using a map or GPS. When talking about movies or TV shows, 'on location' is a common phrase. This means the actors are filming in a real place instead of inside a studio.

Stop messing around and just drop your location.

Karen uses 'drop your location' (a common modern idiom for sharing GPS coordinates via a messaging app) to express her impatience. David responds with 'circling back', which is a corporate buzzword he uses inappropriately in a personal context, reflecting his personality as a manager who tries too hard.
