A language quiz that can tell where you grew up

Link

My top three were Minneapolis-St Paul, Madison, and Anchorage. It was highly accurate for me considering I live in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro.

Was it accurate for you?

It picks for me Seattle, Portland, and Salt Lake City. It's accurate as far as I can tell.

direct link it is not a short quiz

it got me. it did spread it's guesses quite widely across the nation though. people are always saying that im strange, i thought it would miss.

But I already know where I grew up

I got Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland. That's very accurate. I use to live in WA in and around those areas and currently I live in Portland.

It seems to think I'm from New York. I'm actually from Eastern Pennsylvania. Close enough.

I got Seattle, Tacoma and.....Salt Lake City....

The first two are accurate.

I got Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Toledo.

Wow, that's pretty accurate, being that I live in MI. Especially that Grand Rapids one, that's only an hour or more so away from my town.

Though it pretty much narrowed it down with just two questions, "What do you call the night before Halloween?" (Devil's Night) and "What do you call a sweetened carbonated beverage?" (Pop). lol

I'm from Manchester, England. It just does America.

Wow what a crappy quiz. I got New York, Jersey and some other city I haven't heard of. And I have never in my life even been close to any of those places.

Yeah it got the right location. But then...it can't miss if you answer honestly.

I got three places in Florida. Interesting.

Well, I'm not even from the US, but I got New York, Pembroke Pines, and Miami/Hialeah.

The three cities it determined were all about thirty minutes away from me. I'd say the test is pretty freakin' accurate overall.

I got Honolulu, Hawaii; Columbus, Georgia; and Pembroke Pines, Florida. The last one is the closest to where I grew up, but it's still very far away.

did you pick "potato bug"?

Apparently I grew up in NY rofl

New york, yonkers, jersey city, Im from toronto area

tho so the northeast was red

I got Orlando, Anchorage, and Pembroke Pines. But Iv'va lived in Minneapolis my whole life hehe

Yes I did.

I got New York, Jersey City, and New Ark, which is incredibly accurate (I'm from New York).

Sure it can...

It's only accurate for you silly americans.

Didn't get me right.

Says I'm California: Santa Rosa, Fremont, and Oceanside. The fartherest west of the United States I've been is probably...., Austin Texas.

Some of the questions I didn't understand; Po-boy/sub are both used here, but Po-boy is more of a baby boomer term and refers to only cut cuts - not all subs.

A po' boy (also po-boy, po boy, or poor boy) is a traditional submarine sandwich from Louisiana. It almost always consists of meat, usually roast beef, or fried seafood.

Wikipedia says you're wrong.

Wiki is a weak source.

Now write me a response in MLA format my...

I'd never heard of a po-boy before.

Also, I'll believe a collaboration of millions of randoms, where the idiots who spam non-sense are banned from editing, over a single random.

Rockford IL, Aurora IL, Detroit. I live pretty close to Aurora so that's fairly accurate

Anyone have trouble coming up with answers for some of these due to a feeling that you were answering based on various media rather then media free responses. Like I answered fireflies but I just realized that I don't really hear that round here often and answered based on my time with the last of us I guess.

LOL, I thought of TLOU when the question came up too. I picked fireflies. :P

Boston, Providence, Worcester. Relatively close, as I am in Eastern NY.

Most likely for the use of "Rotary"

Closest two are Philadelphia and New York, which is close enough since I live in NJ.

Completely wrong.

Said Yonkers, Jersey City, Newark/Paterson. I've never been anywhere near those place or know anything about those places.

I grew up in Puerto Rico and Florida. South Florida, but NOT Miami.

But i'll be honest, here in South florida there arent any native people or anything like that, its just a whole bunch of random people from all over the US and the World and a bunch of mixed people. There is no Floridian type of talk. Florida is the least southern state out of all the Southerns.

Boston, Providence, Worcester. Probably for use of "Rotary".

It gave me Fresno CA, Arlington VA and Augusta GA. I've never been anywhere near any of those places. I grew up in southern Illinois and have lived in the Chicago suburbs for nearly a decade.

Santa Rosa CA, Ocean Side CA, and Reno NV. Pretty close, Santa Rosa is only an hour and a half away from my house.

Placed me in NY, Newark, and Boston. Have lived in Va. for my whole life, though my father is from Jersey. Apparently, the northernish portion of Va. appears quite red, so I guess it has some degree of accuracy hidden in it somewhere.

Omaha, Lincoln, and Wichita. It's close considering I grew up in Missouri and then moved to Arizona.

The Devil is beating his wife? The hell was that?

Clearly not that accurate since It put me in the New York region when I'm actually Norwegian.

=P

I got New York/Jersey City/Yonkers. It's terribly wrong though because I live in the UK. :P

that's pretty nifty.

i say pop for soda. That should tell you where i'm from

Wow It was pretty dead on I got Baton Rouge(which is where I live), Jackson and New Orleans.

Freemont, Corona and San Jose. All in California. Never really equated Ontario to California.

Also everything in the "What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?" question sounds like a vague pagan term.

It says I'm from the New York region, though I'm not even from America.

Clearly, folks, the quiz is meant for Americans. If you're not American then your results aren't relevant.

Shit, I thought that was a world map.

I took it just for shits n' giggles. I'm from the west coast of Canada, gave me 3 cities in the Northeast, all of them for calling carbonated beverages "pop"

Where do you live in Washington, friend?

Got Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane. From just south of Seattle, so right on.

Says I'm from around the Lexington area. Fairly close to where I was born (Cincinnati), but still. Not exactly what I wanted to hear.

@worlock77: lighten up my man
