Amalgamation has little impact in terms of the use of the term, as people still can identify Etobicoke and Scarborough.

Do you mean that people in the city, when they use the term "west end" or "east end" they basically only mean the boundaries you just described? I think that's what you're saying. I could definitely see it being like that.
For suburban people like me, and the people I talk to, who are almost all suburban as well, we usually refer to Scarboro to Oshawa and Etobicoke to Burlington.
As for the fishing forums I'm on, it's the same thing when we say east end or west end. When we say we were fishing in the east end, we're talking about Duffin's or Carruther's Creek or Rouge River. For West we're talking about the Humber or Credit River or Bronte Creek.
