December 23, 201312 yr I finally got it to work, and it said Cincinnati, Louisville or Philadelphia. Don't know how Philly snuck in there.
December 23, 201312 yr Louisville, Montgomery and Columbus (GA). Originally from Baltimore, MD but lived 40 of my 58 years in KY. You're 58?? I would've been WAY off on that.
December 23, 201312 yr Louisville, Lexington, and Little Rock. Before I opened the thread, I just assumed it meant based on your last name. Everyone guesses New Orleans for me.
December 23, 201312 yr Louisville, Lexington, Cincinnati. I was born in California, lived there until twelve. Then grew up in Indiana. Army in Texas, Ft Knox, & MD. Back to IN then and in retirement FL and IN. Mom was from southern IN. Think that did it.
December 23, 201312 yr St. Louis, Mo; Rockford, IL; Indianapolis, IN I guess that makes sense. Somewhere between the Kentuckyisms I've picked up from my mom's side of the family and the upper Midwestern things I've grabbed from dad's, I ended up in the middle.
December 23, 201312 yr You're 58?? I would've been WAY off on that. Not sure what to think - either I look/act much older:grumpy: or much younger:ylsuper:...
December 23, 201312 yr Took it for real and mine was Lexington, Montgomery and Little Rock. Not sure what that means, but I feel a bit more authentically Southern for the experience. Kinda surprised there wasn't more of an upper-Midwestern thing there given my Mom's side of the family being from Iowa, and my Dad's being from Indiana. For those of you with two or more of the following — Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati — in yours, I advise you to get out more. You're missing out on a very interesting world out there.
December 23, 201312 yr Took it once and got Lexington, Springfield, and Little Rock. Took it again (and there are different questions) and got Lexington, Louisville, and Springfield. Pretty neat quiz. It's interesting too. I've lived in different parts of the country and was familiar with more than a few answers for a lot of the questions, but ended up choosing the words I grew up with. I guess I would say hoagie out east and sub back here, but I'm a reflexive Kentuckian when deciding between the two. There were a few words I thought would be on there. In Philadelphia the pronounce "water" as "wooder." In New York they don't say they are standing "in-line," if they are, well, standing in a line. They say they are "on-line." They call shopping carts "wagons." People are weird. I've apparently never had a word for the patch of grass between the sidewalk and the road or a word for the roads parallel to a freeway. And that's another one, I almost always refer to roads like 71 and 75 as the interstate and use "highway" for about anything else.
December 23, 201312 yr Cincinnati, OH ("gym shoes" related me strongly) Springfield, MO ("crawdad" related me strongly) Indianapolis, IN ("blow-off" related me strongly)
December 23, 201312 yr Does anyone actually have a term for the rainshower while the sun is still shining? I'd never heard of any of those.
