That is almost my exact same score. I had 90% GEA and 10%Dixie for some reason....

Wassup?

I wish they'd asked a question about spigots. That's my favorite. Taps, spigots and faucets.

But i had to adlib cos there were loads I'd never heard of.
eg.10. What do you call an easy class?
A crip course
A gut
A blow off

I only picked 'blow off' cos it means fart!

well, at least you're more dixie than yank, that could've been embarassing...
I call 'em roundabouts, so that's not the midwesternness...

I'm putting off work so I figured out that you can't possibly get more than 10% Midwestern on that test, and the two critera are:

5% if you say "sack" rather than bag
5% if you say "pop" rather than soda

kitvishnu April 18 2005, 06:42:05 UTC

ah, pop... yeah I gave that one up because people made fun of me in California.

xandi April 18 2005, 23:14:00 UTC

but i didn't say either of those and i still got 5% upper midwestern. (??!)
