The American Slang Quiz! Can it Guess Where We're From?

The NYTimes have come out with a quiz that can pinpoint the exact area of the US you're from based on certain slang you use! I decided to test it out with a Brit, and another American from Missouri! Let's see where we're from!

If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

Hey y’all! Hope you liked the video! If you saw any video glitch, don’t worry. It was just the KZbin illuminati. If you wanna take the quiz yourself here’s the link :) www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/dialect-quiz-map.html

KZbin illuminati at it again

[@panicatthelsdisco2515]

Honestly that was a fun quiz to take especially because I’ve lived in Washington State, Virginia, Texas, California, and Arizona. It said I was from Texas so it’s not wrong I guess??

[@karmenkeith9655]

I took the quiz. I had all of the southern, midwest and California as my states. And I am from Tennessee. I could anywhere and get by. Lol

I took the quiz. California was Red hot 😏. My top place is actually 40 minutes away from where I live.

I live in the us and dope is drugs man 🤣

[@detectivelemon4669]

Dope = weed

[@emjayay]

@diane Taylor In the US "dope" would have been just heroin many decades ago, but "smoking dope" = smoking marijuana has been common for years in many places. I've seen it in print. "dope" is an old Southern term for cola, which originally had cocaine in it. In the South today any flavors of carbonated drink may still be all called a "coke". In certain parts of the US, from western NY state across to the northern west coast, it's often or always pop. Google "soda map".

[@Grace-td5dd]

Both dope and coke r drugs, I mainly use coke but some people Ik would say dope sometimes as like a joke sort 😂

[@abiparedes2001]

“Where are you from” “Missouri” Me: 😦 we exist outside of Missouri Also “It didn’t place me in Missouri” she says as one of the cities she got is St Louis MO

What she said was it didn't match her to Missouri at all, and Evan confirmed that by saying Omaha, Wichita, and Lincoln (= Kansas / Nebraska). The graphic is from her second attempt at the quiz (which isn't on camera).

Hawaii has a strong historical relationship with Britain, and still has the union jack on its flag. Perhaps that's why the British guy came out as Hawaii?

I'm British and I got it to, despite him not know that we call a service road, a hard-shoulder.

[@francesatty7022]

@@CallMeBeautifulRacoon no I think the road theyre talking about is completely seperate, whilst a hard shoulder is technically part of the motorway

[@CallMeBeautifulRacoon]

@@francesatty7022 how? Its a road just in case you breakdown, a service road ie. A hard shoulder.

[@allisonwonder1977]

Millicent Bowers a service road is its own separate road with multiple lanes, separated from the highway (or motorway). usually, at least where i’m from, the highway has tolls where as the service road is toll free and has traffic lights and intersections. when exiting the highway you exit onto the service road. i hope that makes sense.

[@seraphina985]

@@CallMeBeautifulRacoon Yeah what they are talking about isn't connected to the main carriageway at all, in the US they sometimes have parallel roads that run alongside but are not connected to the motorway especially when they run the motorway smack through the middle of town like they do a lot in the US.

[@alohaxo845]

He probably got Hawaii because Hawaii was strongly influenced by Britain, hence our flag :)

Seems a lot of brits (myself included) get Hawaii lit up bright red, looking at these comments. Its pretty neat.

[@ava_lavender]

Two of the cities I got were like 20 and 40 minutes away.

[@katiewright3309]

Yeah all three cities they suggested were close by. The farthest was a 2 hour drive in Wisconsin and somewhere I had considered going to college at one point. The other 2 were 45 mins away. I was not surprised when I got Chicago since I am from the suburbs of Chicago.

[@leefischer5814]

Luckier than me I got about a quarter of the US colored the same shade and I was around Seattle, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Topeka . I don't think it's even close to accurate cause if I ask a person 20 questions I can guess what quarter of the US they're from as well.

For me, frosting is what goes on a cake, icing is what goes on a cookie (as in royal icing). Buttercream is acceptable for frosting, but that is a specific type of frosting.

I'm from Jersey/Yonkers/NYC according to the quiz. I'm from Wales, UK. - I'll put this down to Evan being from that general area and basically being the sole American 'vlog' channel that I watch, so I've gained minute, tidbits of slang from him.

Reading “poor boy” hurt my lil Louisiana heart so badly

[@rachaelkramer9746]

DestinyHope Mobilians were hurt, too! Should be Po boy!

[@Bacopa68]

It's a po' boy. And it's not the same thing as any of these sandwiches. A po' boy is a hollowed out loaf of bread stuffed with fried oysters and maybe bycatch meat. Raised Galveston Bay here, so I know a po' boy is a hollowed out loaf sold out the back of restaurants stuffed with the fried rejects of that restaurant. And yes, I understand the race and class implications. My dad who got to eat that well only three times in his childhood made damn sure I understood.

[@renf9191]

i’m so upset abt that one question abt an easy course and easy a wasn’t an option

[@katherinebuchholz7371]

I took the quiz and it got me right. My top 3 were Arlington(the one in VA), DC, and Boston. I am from Arlington, so it was pretty cool that this could pinpoint it so well. The bottom 3 cities were New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Detroit, so I guess that just shows I’m nothing like Louisiana. Also, definitely got a few questions that none of you three did, one of which being about a place where you could drive through and quickly get beer or some sort of alcohol, which I’ve never heard of before. This was fun to do and fun for me to watch you guys do.

[@lily21207]

I loved this video. But I'm not sure how much faith I have in this quiz. It put me in Jackson, Tennessee... I'm from Baltimore, Maryland and have never been that far south before. Lol

the test got my exact area, down to the only two places I've lived actually!

[@lexidyakova2670]

Why did I not have any idea Jamie was American until just now...wowie😂

[@susie2251]

Lexi Dyakova Her accent is weird, probably from living in the UK. She was enunciating her Ts like no American would.

[@Melissa-wx4lu]

I took it and picked Mesa...which is 2 hours away. Very good! I grew up with anything diagonally is Catty-corner.

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

15:40 She is so right about that!!! I’m from Tennessee and my Mom had been an investigative reporter and was on the radio a while too, and she’d trained to lose her accent. So I grew up with relatively little accent, and I didn’t use a lot of the words other people chose, regionalisms. And some words are said so differently it’s like a different word. Windle for window. Baygh (like how it would be if glug didn’t have an L, an ugh sound) for bag. Lots of Hs added. St(h)ormh. Like little added exhalations. Fight rhyming with a’ight (like all-right). Rural being ruhuhl, or ruuuhl. When on trips, people have trouble placing where I’m from. Usually it’s sort of Midwest, if anything. I’m just so thankful for my Mom, lol. There are a few things I like about my home state. But I really don’t like the accent. Maybe it had to do with all the bullies being very thickly country accented and I associated it with jerks who didn’t like learning and that’s why it still crawls all over my skin. I hate it even more than the stereotypical Jersey accent (both ranked some of the least intelligent and pleasant sounding accents) because at least that has novelty on its side. 😂 I vote for trying to be as broad as possible so my kids won’t stand out to people as super accented when we go on trips or if we move.

[@Marypicc]

I got my exact city hahaha that’s so crazy I didn’t realize Rochester, NY had such specific slang

[@SarahBecks713]

The quiz got me EXACTLY! Indianapolis, IN. I have the same issue as Evan with the word “freeway”. I started saying it occasionally since I spent some time in California last year for an internship. I normally call it the highway, but I also call it the interstate; I was surprised that wasn’t an option.

[@lydia3460]

Sarah Carman I say highway when referring to a fast road with two lanes but if it has several lanes then I call it a freeway

[@SarahBecks713]

Lydia Borrell I generally say highway when it’s a fast moving road with multiple lanes but still has stoplights every once in a while and then interstate when you can just merge on and keep going, and then freeway when I’ve been talking to my Californian boyfriend too much 😝

[@lydia3460]

Sarah Carman your definition of interstate sounds about the same as my definition of freeway. It also sounds like we have pretty similar definitions of highway. It’s interesting, I didn’t realize there were so many different names for either of these I’ve never heard somebody say interstate unless they’re a news reporter

[@eligoldman9200]

Keep doing these cuz they are entertaining

[@evan]

Thank

[@teaguebean]

this solidly placed me where I currently live/ near where my mom grew up, and not too far away from where I grew up

[@sakuya9017]

The test said I’m most likely from the western side of the US (Reno, Las Vegas, Fresno), I thought it would be more spread out since I live in Maryland, Ohio, New Mexico, New Jersey and North Carolina..... 🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏼

[@annak9096]

It pinpointed three cities that my hometown is basically in the middle of, so, you know. It's bc I say bubbler and rotary :)

[@juliaarcisz3933]

Mine was pretty spot on! I'm from the suburbs of Providence, RI and it picked Prov the main source of where my dialect is from.

[@2010mcclain]

I'm from the Grand Rapids area in Michigan and thats precisely what it gave me. Was quite blown away with how accurate it was.

[@KaylaHenrikson]

It put me right in Seattle which I was impressed by!

[@kazeboiii]

I’m originally from Seattle! But it put me in Spokane 😂 Maybe because I’ve been living in Texas for five years now and it’s messed with my vocabulary

[@ArtByAshelyMarie]

This quiz is irrily accurate xD It guessed very very very close to the city I live.... xD

[@morganohman7581]

Took the quiz and it gave me Chicago along with the towns of Aurora and Rockford. Pretty accurate since I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago.

[@Crick1952]

13:00 This test always gets me here Evidently only people from Houston, Texas call it a feeder

[@forestc0re]

I was born in California Moved to Colorado when I was four (throughout my child hood I regularly visited family in Minnesota) And moved to Minnesota when I was 18 It guessed Fremont as my most likely city which is pretty close to where I was born

[@gmas41]

Omg I took this and literally got the exact city I live in wtf

[@gastrickbunsen1957]

UK here, and I say verge for the grassy strip on a pavement, the crossing platform in the middle of the road is an island and the breakdown area on a motorway is the hard shoulder. Gymshoes is the difficult one and depends on where you are, a few examples: plimsolls, guppies, slippers or sand shoes. A crayfish is a langoustine.

[@eanmac3117]

I got the entire west coast including places like Oakland, San Jose and Seattle. This makes sense to me because I'm from Vancouver. This also reaffirms my belief that people in BC have more in common with the western states than the eastern provinces.

[@emjayay]

For the long sandwich on a roll, "poor boy" is actually "Po Boy", with a New Orleans accent. Because that's what they call them. The problem with Evan in this case and many others is there's a lot of things he just doesn't know, so he thinks they are funny. "Grinder" is New England. "Sub" is short for "submarine sandwich", for obvious reasons.

[@marydavis5234]

I live in Vermont and I call it a sub not grinder

[@SalvationKH]

For caramel, I've used both interchangeably so much, I just say (care-ml) now.

[@nigelacarpenter241]

Salvation I say Carmel (Car-Mel) And Salmon (Sal-Mon)

[@longliveplanetawesome3223]

I absolutely hate it when people pronounce caramel without the second a! It's so annoying!

[@quinneasom]

i use them both but to me they’re different. i would say “car-ml” for a candy apple or caramel popcorn but for individual pieces of caramel i would say “care-a-mel”

[@natkatmac]

2:45 This is a VERY important distinction where I live. San Diego County has the 5, 8, 15, 52, 56, 67, 75, 76, 78, 79, 94, 125, 163, and 905. Freeways are typically bigger, faster, and longer than highways, causing them to use on ramps and bridges instead of directly intersecting with other streets like highways do.

[@bsteven885]

The test was so accurate it's SCARY! It shows me in the Chicagoland area (with a fleeting reference to Rockford, IL). Must have been the Gym Shoes!

[@oXAtsukoXo]

So I've got: Alaska, Hawaii and Madison in Wisconsin ? I'm french haha

[@baylorstanton]

Wisconsin makes sense, we have quite a bit of French history/influence

[@Kristen-lm7ck]

I did it and it literally was spot on like it said my exact city

[@janna9785]

This quiz got me like exactly right with top cities of Worcester and Boston (I live basically between those) but then also randomly Santa Rosa California

[@klcpesan]

I'm from Scotland, born in Aberdeen but west coast parents and the uk dialect quiz got me exact mix of the two! For America it gave me Hawaii and California with a wee bit of Florida?

[@TheonewhereCupcake]

I got mostly in Florida because I say Sun-shower lmao. I’m German 🤷‍♀️ i called it a highway, but it’s an Autobahn 😂

[@regenbogentraumerin]

Same for me, though New York and Hawaii were bright red as well :D

[@JefftheSabaDude]

Kitty-corner, water fountain, tennis shoes, and you guys put me squarely in Minnesota where I grew up. Our town was full of Bohemians (Czech immigrant descendants) who uniquely said youse. It was not allowed in my British-Norwegian immigrant setting even though my father grew up speaking only Norwegian ... and that was one of their favorite words.

[@cnug313217]

my three city's where tulsa OK, Oklahoma city OK, and grand rapids MI. Im born and raised in southern Michigan. but spent lots of time with my uncle who was raised in the south.

[@lsuteeth]

I’m from New Orleans and the quiz guessed that I was be from Jackson, Mississippi, New Orleans, or Baton Rouge, which is where my mom is from. So I guess It’s pretty accurate.

[@lilajanick]

Roundabout and circles/traffic circles are different. Roundabouts are circles at large intersections. They replace a stoplight. A circle/traffic circle serves the same purpose of a speed bump, and is mainly there as speed control.

[@ummmuhhh7907]

OMG YESSS!! NO ONE ELSE KNOWS THIS!! 😂

[@sarahmiechyslaw5234]

I didn’t know this lol. I’ve always used them interchangeably

[@evan]

Not in New Jersey it’s not

[@lydia3460]

Where I’m from a circle is essentially a dead end where you have an opportunity to turn around, usually there are also houses right by circles, a roundabout is the same as what you said, a road that goes in a circle and is used instead of an intersection

[@lilajanick]

Lydia Borrell interesting. We call those culs-de-sac

A bird course means you “fly right through”. They addressed this in the movie, “Sister Act 2”.

Wow I took the quiz and they were pretty spot on. They listed 3 cities all in NY which is the state I live in. 2 of the cities were 4-5 hrs from me but the 3rd city was only an hour away. And my city was in the middle of all 3 in the small red area of the U.S. that was marked as most similar to my answers. Pretty cool.

[@Sebattihan]

If you asked yourself if Germans have expressions for this I’m pleased to klugscheiß for you: - Leute (but that’s different for everyone) - Kellerassel - Glasur or Kuchenglasur (for icing) or frosting (for frosting) - Karamell (the pronouncing stuff doesn’t really make sense to translate…) - Autobahn - Wachsmalstift - Flohmarkt or Straßenflohmarkt (we don’t sell our stuff in garages or the yard) - schräg gegenüber (there’s no exact word) - Tennisschuhe or Sneaker - Glühwürmchen - Limo or Limonade - Seitenstreifen - Sub (because we don’t have wobbly bread except for the subway kind) - Pyjama or Schlafanzug - Wasserhahn or Springbrunnen - I’m just gonna bail out on the ‘caught’ stuff - Mittelstreifen but if it’s small it’s an Insel - Puma - Kreisverkehr - LKW or Lastkraftwagen (for extraordinary freight it’s a Schwertransporter) - Tante - Theres no term for an easy class. I refer to them as billig or geschenkt - Landstraße - 30. Oktober - Flusskrebs - Gafferstau

The grassy strip in the middle of the road of the road is called the central reservation in the UK. A traffic island is different as it's just a crossing place. I took this quiz and apparently I'm 100% Hawaiian!

Mine was all over the map except for East MidUS but concentrated over Boston, Pembroke Pines (Florida) and Hawaii which I guess makes sense bc I grew up visiting my cousins in Boston but also grew up in a British international school in an ex-colony of the UK.

Reminder from Scotland, hoagies are wraps with loads of takeaway food in it from a tandoori and so on

[@avaojs2745]

Lol it guessed exaactly where I am. Also rolly-Polly bugs are the black and orange caterpillars that roll up when you touch them. That bug was a potato bug.

I'm from Northern New Jersey, but I took the quiz, and I got Boston and Miami as two of my cities. Don't know what that says about me

[@raikiri23]

It put me smack dab between Madison and Milwaukee, WI and Chicago IL, which is exactly accurate.

[@r.ridderbusch7303]

As does your "smack dab"! Cute!

[@raikiri23]

It does?? Oh man.

[@CindyHelms]

Loving your Missouri representative! Also, you got a few different questions than I did... and no, I did not get Missouri... but my family is Irish, and we typically just use generic terms.

[@wilgeman6784]

I have to admit Luke is kinda right about the sandwich thing, (I'm from Stl, Missouri and I agreed with most of Jamie's slang, but I say Cran not crown, it's a yard sale unless they're actually using the garage, WTF is a catty-corner I don't have a word for opposite to the intersection bc I kinda just...walk there without addressing it, I say sandwich [any long bread is a baguette Evan], puhjamus, it's pin not pen, a blow-off class or free gpa points, service road but I don't think they have them on big highways around here, crawdaddys and crawfish when being formal , traffic or a hold-up ) I used to work at a deli and unlike subway we didn't make the bread in house it was delivered from the bakers a couple blocks over, and if we got busy and ran out we had to make the drives ourselves mid-shift on our own penny, and there's only a small time gap between soft good good bread and a light crunchy chrunch bread.

[@PurpleLemurs]

It guessed my exact city wow!

[@BulletproofVendetta]

Took the quiz. It nailed it. Texas. ... Also I'm LEAST like New Jersey

[@briannacastro8032]

Two of my top three cities were super close to where I live in North Carolina, and the other was in Alabama. So pretty darn good NY Times!

Re: Mischief night... I moved to NJ from the midwest as a kid and you guys take Halloween VERY SERIOUSLY in NJ compared to those of us in the midwest LOL

[@alexmcb2192]

I call the night before Halloween, all hallows eve

[@CrowGamingVideos]

All Hallows Eve is Halloween. Nov 1 is All Hallows' Day and Nov 2 is All Saints Day

[@elliemathias30]

i took the quiz (originally from uk) and it said honolulu, hawaii aswell lol

[@laurenstendel9111]

You're right, Devil's Night is a Michigan thing! I live in Florida now and my friends here get confused when I say it lol

[@ActionNerdGo]

An easy class is called a "Mickey Mouse" course where I'm from.

[@alexthepotato]

Evan: “What do you call the night before Halloween?” me: “Devils Night of course!” Evan: “Devils night, think that’s a Michigan Thing?” Got me there Evan, Got me there

[@kristianherzner2475]

I took the quiz and got my city along with two that aren't too far from it. Dang. That was fun.

[@foxylee]

This was so interesting. Gotta take this test myself. Wonder where they will place a Norwegian anglophile, who went to school in Canada, worked in India and South Africa, loves America and watches insane amounts of British comedy shows.

[@dus10knee]

i took the quiz and got my city 😂
