So it seemed like all my friends on Facebook were linking up to this quiz on the New York Times web page. After over 11 years of moving around (Texas, Ohio, New Jersey, California, and now Illinois) I was wondering where I would land on the spectrum. I know a lot of people upon first meeting me wonder where I am originally from...well until I say something that has an "O" in it....then they have a handful of phrases they just can't wait to hear me say! Sure you betcha, I can do dat for youse guys...Is usually my response.
But I guess I am a MN girl at heart.
Even though I recognized a lot of the other answers to the questions I went with my gut, and apparently 22 years in Minnesota still hasn't been beat out of me these past 11 years. I have really enjoyed living all over the country and having friends from different regions that have distinct accents and learning all the different terms or slang for items different then what I grew up with. J may even joke that I must have spent a lot of time with certain friends during the day...suddenly I sound like I am from Mississippi and start "fixin'" to do something and calling everyone sweetie y'all.
Go ahead and see what you come up with. Come back and share. Is it different then what you expected?
