I didn't think much of the expression until I was an adult and then I had the "wtf that is an awful thing to say" moment. Now I just say "It looks all HD outside."

Most similar: Reno, Oceanside (which is in biking distance from where I live), and Santa Rosa.
Least similar: New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and Philidelphia.

Very accurate, imo.

Most similar...Baton Rouge.

I was born and grew up in Louisiana.

No one I know in Santa Rosa has gotten Santa Rosa.

Yenz is "you" plural, poke & sack for a bag, tennis shoes for sneakers, buggy for shopping cart, and pop for soda. And then they use diphthongs from out of nowhere for words you would never expect in a million years could have them like [bah ox] for box, [daw aug] for dog.

And Primanti's

This was lame. For most similar I got Chicago, Rockford, and Aurora, what a surprise. I was born in Chicago so obviously I'm going to have a Northern Illinois dialect. As for my least similar? Pittsburgh, Akron, and Cleveland all because I don't have a word for the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street. I'm pretty sure my Texan hill country roommate and I have much different accents than I would with someone from Ohio…

One thing this quiz confirmed though is that we are basically the only people in the country that call athletic shoes "gym shoes".

Not too fimiliar with Primanti's, but I know about Eat'n Park. Now the first time my aunt brought up us going to Eat'n Park I thought she talking about an actual park with trees named after Thomas Eakins. I was totally confused why we go to a park until we arrived at the restaurant, only to find out it was Eat'n Park not Eakins Park.

You need to have a Legend to tell us what all those colors mean.

It's on the site. Blue means you're cold and red means you're warm.

Lately I've been hearing a lot of obnoxious radio commercials where people refer to champagne as "bubbly". Like, as a noun. They don't call it champagne. They call it "bubbly". Is this some sort of idiotic thing that people say up here in the pacific Northwest and I've just never heard it before, or is it understandable to be irritated?

Actually it's been called that all over for as long as I've been alive


Champagne & Beyond: Best Bubbly Options For New Year's Eve - Forbes

Yeah, I've heard it called bubbly for as long as I can remember.

Any sparkling wine that is not made in the Champagne region of France usually does not bear the name "Champagne." Champagne and other sparkling wines have bubbles, and bubbles are fun so they call it "bubbly."

I'm sorry, what? I don't speak Russian.

One of my most was Honolulu which I find pretty hilarious because is there a place more different to Scotland than Hawaii?

I got San Jose, Honolulu and Providence for most similar, so a bit all over the place, probably because I'm from a non-english speaking country.

Where are you from?

That's weird, I got the NY/NJ areas. Different influences, I guess.

Norway. Funny to see that Briks, who is also from Norway got vastly different results.

I had never heard that Southern phrase about a devil beating his wife = sunshower. The South seems very religious, so I shouldn't be surprised, but I still am.

The test was interesting because I had no idea that people in the U.S. have other pronunciations for "crayon" besides "cray-awn," and I thought everyone said "Mary, merry, and marry" the same way. I also didn't know some people have a special name for the night before Halloween. Huh!

My personal dialect map was almost the exact opposite of yours, ribbons, and also very accurate: my dialect was most similar to that of people from Minneapolis, Grand Rapids, and Des Moines.

I took the test a second time, and discovered that some of the questions were different, which shifted the localization of my dialect. The second test said my dialect matches Wichita, Omaha, and Des Moines.

The *third* time I took the test, I got Minneapolis, Madison, and Milwaukee.

I learned that I am familiar with and use quite a few words for the same thing, such as pill bug, sow bug, & roly poly. I was surprised how many other words people use for that cute critter. People who call a pill bug a centipede or millipede are just wrong, though. That shouldn't be called a dialect; that should just be called "wrong."
