IIRC, one of 'em had a knife. He beat the schit out of all three of 'em and held them there until the cops arrived.

One more tale ...

My dad and I visited the man that schooled the yutes and he spoke of one cold winter night in Korea. He was sleeping in fox hole and another man slipped in, sat next to him, and fell asleep. When he woke up he realized the man sleeping next to him was a North Korean soldier. KA-BAR.

No BS. True story.

Laffin'.

I took it.
Seems to me like with a few clues on vernacular, they can then present a 1000 mile line of three for you to be close to and be close the majority of the time. Or not.

I wonder if it works better if you answer with your 'original' dialect.there were several questions where the answers were different if I plugged in what I say now vs. how I pronounced things growing up.

I answered the questions the way I was raised and it was spot on. No doubt would've changed a bit if I plugged in my 'changes'. Still pretty interesting.


It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...

Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.

The quiz picked two places in which I've never lived, but they were the two significant cities nearest my parents' hometowns.

They left out "warsh". Grandma and Mom both said it that way, my wife does too at times. My 7th grade GF said hydrant for a water faucet, and don't forget "pokes".

A long time ago there was a PBS series: "The Story of English" with Bill Moyers. Facinating to hear the dialects from such places as Okrakoke Island, and the Gullah. How the states got their shapes covered some of the same.
