How Y’all, Youse and You Guys Talk

I don't know how definitive these type of quizzes are, but they're fun to take.

It pegged me as being from Santa Ana/Irvine. Pretty darned close.

I was born in Oak Forest, IL - a southern suburb or Chicago. Moved to CO in 1978 as a 15 yo teenager.

It lists three possibilities for me:

Rockford, IL - 2 hours away
Aurora, IL - 1 hour away
Grand Rapids, MI - 2,5 hours away

Pretty good IMHO....

Whoa.
It said Long Beach, Glendale or Fresno.
Was born in Torrance next to Long Beach and went to school for a time in Burbank next to Glendale. Pretty darn close.
Interesting because I lived back east for quite a few years and thought that may influence it. Maybe that's the Fresno part.

Sacramento, Modesto, Fresno.

I was born in Tulare. Pretty darn close.

Some of the questions I could see would be dead giveaways for the west coast.

I've had so much influence from my travels around the country, that I had to do some thinking to recall what I would have called things in my youth.

Boise, Reno, Sacramento. I'm from a farm 40 miles north of Seattle, but mostly So Cal since late '75, with 5 months in NM.

Requires further analysis, which I am unwilling to undertake.

Upon further reflection (and a little wine) I remembered I spent part of my kid hood in NorCal, so, maybe Fresno reflects my southern roots being stretched north.
Hmmm, I'll have to give this more thought.
Now where did that cork screw go?

Stockton, Modesto, Salt Lake City.

L.A. grown with some Minnesota summers. Not sure of my connections to any of those three cities although I've been through each at one time or another.

Mine were Boise, Salt Lake, and Modesto.....boy were they off. Not a very good quiz for me though since multiple questions had multiple answers I use on a regular basis. Sometimes its soda, sometimes its pop.
