crushingmayhem Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I got Santa Rosa, Oxnard, Oceanside in California. Even though English's not my first language I wanted to see how I spoke it. Really surprised I got that result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminoob Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Worcester and Boston, y'all. On a side-note, I've never heard of most of the phrases in that quiz. Gut class? The devil is punching his wife? Dope as a drink? Who's talking like that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG19 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Rotary of course! The fuck's a roundabout? (I know, but srsly ;P) I guess people up North call it a rotary while Southern folks like me call it a roundabout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's literally only Massachusetts that calls it a rotary. I'm pretty sure most everywhere else calls it a roundabout or something that isn't rotary.
