That test was a humdinger...

My first job out of college was "up north" - I got some funny looks when I responded that I was "fixin' to" accomplish a specific task. Moreso when I said I was headed to the teller window win-dur.

When I worked in CA in the late 60s, I said "rubber bands" and got laughed at (along with much more I said). I remember having to repeat almost everything I said. laugh

Advanced: 63% Dixie. Well under the Mason-Dixon Line

Probably doesn't help that I lived out West for 5 years and learned to not say interstate but freeway, not eye but burner (stove), not buggy but cart, not ya'll but you all or you guys, etc.

First, I, like Rizzo, am well under the Mason-Dixon Line.

Second, did anyone else notice the title of the thread? Does DD get extra points above or below the line for that one? laugh
