About This Quiz
Whether you live in Alaska, Montana or down south in Texas, we all have a certain way of speaking. This is known as a regional dialect, and it has to do with what words we use, as well as how to pronounce them. Most of our language is heavily influenced by where we grew up and the people around us. So before we guess what your current hometown is, let's go over a few of the most notable regional words and phrases.
When you're out shopping at a grocery store, you may refer to that basket on wheels as a shopping cart. But if you live in the south, this is known as a "buggy" to you. In fact, many phrases have entirely different meanings in the south. For instance, "greens" refers to the collard greens side dish, while other parts of the US know that this means a salad. But if you're from New England, don't start laughing at the south just yet, because you guys also have your own vocabulary rules. We know that your "dropped eggs" actually means "poached eggs," and that your "grinders" are code for submarine sandwiches. We're not here to judge, but we are here to determine where you currently live based on how you speak!
