It said I was from Yonkers. I've never been to Yonkers. Nobody I know has been there, or at least admit they've been there. This whole thing is stupid, anyways - I don't have an accent.

Probably it's that they all have a sizable percentage of Canadian expats. Not that Canadians all speak the same but Ontario and BC accents are pretty similar.

Why would a Canadian stop once they got across the border? You keep going until you can't go any further, then, if you're from Quebec, you put on an ill fitting speedo and freak out the children.

It's a way of remaining close to relatives I guess. I have an aunt who has lived in a number of US cities but bought a house in Buffalo because it's close to the rest of the family in Southern Ontario.
Apparently my answer that was closest to Buffalo Rochester and Seattle was "potato bug."

potato bug here. rolley polley also acceptable
It is beyond me why a Canadian would end up living in Buffalo. That's like combining the worst qualities of Canada (shit weather) and the worst qualities of the US (random death by gunshot, shit healthcare).

I thought some of these were weird.
What do I call it when people are selling their shit? Well, I call it a garage sale if they're selling it out of a garage and a yard sale if they're selling it on their yard.
What do I call the road where you drive fast? Well, it depends. If I'm driving on a thru-way I call it a thru-way. Why would I call 90 in New York a freeway or a highway when it's neither free nor high
There were a few that I use interchangeably. At some point I started using y'all sometimes instead of you guys. I also started splitting between pop and soda.
When I read stuff about this study a while back it absolutely blew my mind that sunshower was a regional thing. Also that there were names other than potato bug.
In general though it was fairly accurate. North East stuff, but not New England. Had me in Patterson, NJ and somewhere else in that area ( did this a few days ago, don't remember exactly). The weird one was DC, and one of the questions they cited as the reason for that was one of the ones I took issue with anyway. I think maybe Rochester was the other one.Quote:

In my experience calling it pop in Rochester is pretty uncommon. Buffalo may as well be the midwest though.

I dated a guy who grew up in Rochester and him calling it pop was one of the reason it didn't work out.
Whenever I would drive from the DC area to upstate NY or Toronto, I would try to imagine where exactly society went bad and the people started calling it pop instead of soda. As best as I could estimate, it was somewhere just north of Williamsport, PA.

In my aunt's case I think it's that the earning potential in corporate management type jobs was greater. She got a pretty good price on the house compared to what you would find in Southern Ontario as well I believe. She's also lived in Boston, Atlanta, and Newark in the past. Generally speaking most of the Canadians I've met who moved to the US were people who had some kind of fairly high paying job lined up, so healthcare wasn't really a worry for them.

Maybe it has changed. This was twenty years ago and it was something I actually took note of because it sounded so foreign to me, not just the word but the way people in western NY pronounce it - pap. His family was huge and they all said it, all his friends said it. I lived in Rochester for a summer. It was pretty common.

This quiz got the state i'm from, but I'm really suspicious about this quiz. I bet this quiz uses your IP address to determine what area you are from, and then picks an area close to it because some of these questions are way too general to exactly pinpoint where someone is from in the US.

each question is general, but the generalities for each one have a different distribution and over 25 questions it can narrow down where your particular generalizations overlap.

It definitely doesn't use your IP address. It got that I'm from St. Louis, but I live in Florida.

I find this kind of thing endlessly fascinating. If I could do it all again, I would have studied linguistics.

What do I call it when people are selling their shit? Well, I call it a garage sale if they're selling it out of a garage and a yard sale if they're selling it on their yard.
What do I call the road where you drive fast? Well, it depends. If I'm driving on a thru-way I call it a thru-way. Why would I call 90 in New York a freeway or a highway when it's neither free nor high
There were a few that I use interchangeably. At some point I started using y'all sometimes instead of you guys. I also started splitting between pop and soda.
When I read stuff about this study a while back it absolutely blew my mind that sunshower was a regional thing. Also that there were names other than potato bug.
In general though it was fairly accurate. North East stuff, but not New England. Had me in Patterson, NJ and somewhere else in that area ( did this a few days ago, don't remember exactly). The weird one was DC, and one of the questions they cited as the reason for that was one of the ones I took issue with anyway. I think maybe Rochester was the other one.
I have never heard of the term potato bug. I always used "roly poly." I have also only used the term "freeway," because when you are on the freeway, you are free to go?
Also freeways are free to travel on, if you're paying to use the freeway then we call it a toll road.
I also split between soda and coke. Coke if it's brown, like all Pepsi and Dr Pepper and Coca Cola is called Coke. If it's anything else it's just soda.

I doubt it would change so much in twenty years. None of my family from the Rochester area calls it pop. I dunno, all of my experience just makes me think it's weird it was so common for you.
I also find this things interesting. When the study first started popping up on my Facebook and shit last spring I asked so many of my friends what they call things and stuff like that.
I rarely use freeway, but when I do it's comparing/contrasting from the Thru-way or some other toll road.

I've never heard of anyone associating the term "freeway" with lack of toll road status until now. I thought freeways were just major highways with onramps and offramps and no intersections. Everyone around here just calls them both highways though.

Me neither. You've somewhat redeemed yourself from your earlier comment about pop.
Freeway to me is a term they use in California.

Didn't you say before you were born/raised in Alton for the few years? Sounds like your parents rubbed off on you 
I took this yesterday, and got Springfield MO, Lexington KY, and (I think) Louisville KY. I took it again, because I couldn't remember the third, and got some different questions. I also got different results, this time Tucson AZ, Albuquerque NM, and Louisville KY.
I'm from St. Louis, but I've lived in ABQ and Phoenix AZ

^This. On the quiz, I answered 'highway,' but in life I call it what it is (ie I75, I40, SR52, etc) Toll roads in my area have names like "Suncoast Parkway" and "Florida Turnpike," so I call them by their names.

Toll roads are pretty rare here so I don't think anyone associates the two ideas. Like I said everyone calls them both highways here, but when I took a driving course they called the major ones with ramps instead of stoplights etc freeways.

Goddamn that was accurate. It pinned me from Richmond, VA... I grew up in Northern VA right near DC... ~100 miles from Richmond. But haven't been there in at least 8 years. Been all over the country and been living in Socal for the past 5 years or so.. guess I still have the Virginia dialect.
I answered one question wrong.. I wonder if it would be even closer if I didn't.. hmmm... retaking.

Retaking proved less accurate for me. It throws in different questions that make a big difference over the ones they replaced.

So pretty close and it means that instead of white trash I belong in the better part of town.

It's just people from Michigan talk like canadians . I grew up in Detroit area and spent the last 6 years in Chicago. The map told me I m from the rich suburbs in the area.
So yeah its pretty darn close neat quiz.

Been all over the country and been living in Socal for the past 5 years or so.. guess I still have the Virginia dialect.
I answered one question wrong.. I wonder if it would be even closer if I didn't.. hmmm... retaking.
Richmond and DC have distinctly different accents

Broham I was toats agreeing with you. The thingy said I was from Yonkers/Paterson/Baltimore. My dad is from Jersey so it makes sense.

Hmm, Des Moins, Tucson, or Minneapolis/St.Paul. Never been to any of those cities, never mind grew up there:) NE Ohio and Colorado both lit up pretty deep red, so that makes sense. At least it wasn't way off.

Holy shit, my hometown was listed first(left to right) in the three most similar cities list and on the darkest red part of the map. Wouldn't have thought Tucson would be that distinct.
