Well, I guess you're more well rounded than I am!

I thought that quiz was facinating...I just wonder what they consider to be a Yankee accent or a dixie.
Maybe I'm just not well travelled, but I've never heard of "cruller", "devil's night", "mischeif night", "a crip course", or "a gut".
I never had a grocer ask if I wanted a "sack" until I moved to Iowa, so "sack" is definately a western/midwestern thing.
