Where Are You From???? (Its all in your dilect)

[matthugie]

This was spot on for me and the gf. It said I was from Winston Salem or Greensboro, and though I grew up 2 hours away, my mom is from Winston Salem so I got a lot from her.

Who doesn't call a drinking fountain and drinking fountain?

It's because it's a water fountain.

It's a fountain that water comes out of.

Mariano posted this on facebook and I took it there. It put me in Springfield, MO... Little Rock, AR... Lexington, KY... I live in SW PA (4 miles from MD line). But when I took it I didn't factor in that I also lived in Decatur, IL for 20 years, and here in PA for 14. Eventhough I was born in Cumberland,MD. Maybe that's why it spread me all over the map?

put me in Winston-Salem NC, Greensboro NC and Nashville TN

I live just outside W-S, NC

I say supper, crawdaddies, water fountain, "coke", and lightning bug ;)

[BobombETA]

Pretty close.

Said I'm from Rochester, NY. I'm not, but my dad is from Buffalo, NY and my mom is from Syracuse, NY. Rochester is pretty much half way between them.

It also said I'm from Madison and Milwaukee, WI. Not sure how it came to that conclusion.

I'm apparently from Minneapolis?

We have a high population of Scandanavians. Apparently our speak is in our heritage.

But we drink from them. That's why they're called drinking fountains.

Wife is born and raised out side of Duluth a little ways, and though a 4th generation American she still has a 100% Finnish heritage, her pops is from Duluth and her mom from the western U.P. So yeah you guys talk funny as shit, though her accent has mellowed some and even rubbed off on me a little in my pronunciation a here and there, I can pick a Minn-uh-so-t-uh accent out of a crowd in about 2 seconds flat.

And yes its fountain that is designed to be drunk from therefore its a drinking fountain not a decoration.

said I was from Vegas or Fresno, so hella tight bro. I mean I guess its close enough from SoCal, like 300-400 miles, not bad..

Guess it's just a difference on describing WHAT it is vs WHAT you use it for.

I'm going to believe the guy that doesn't know the proper past tense of drink.

I prove my point. :)

Except it won't load my map

It's called a remote control because we control the tv remotely with it. It's called a shitter because you shit in it. It's called pop because only an asshole calls it soda. If you use clicker or soda you can suck a butt.

[ajhostetter]

Says I'm from Providence/Yonkers. Grew up outside of Philly, so close. Only a dickhead accuses someone of calling a soda a soda of being an asshole.

[myinfernalbmw]

Sorry asshole, you're wrong. At least everyone should should share the hatred for cocks who call all flavors/brands of pop "coke."
