41% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Most of my answers came out "generally used in the whole US."
What the heck IS that bug that rolls when touched -- I have NO idea what that is...

They're called pillbugs. I don't know if they've got an even more formal name than that, but if you study bugs, that's what they'll call them. (At least, that's how it was four years ago...)

i don't know the true name, but when i was little we always called it, "roly poly" :D


haha - this is totally unrelated, but one time i was bike riding w/ friends and i opened my mouth to say something and a bug flew into my mouth! ....i was so disgusted that i started scratching my tongue - like that would really help :glare:

theyre just Roly Polys or Pill bugs, easy to find under rocks, my bug story, I was riding my motorcycle about 50 mph on a secluded backroad when a bug hit my facemask, it jarred my whole head, and smeared bug innards all over the place.

I used to love playing with Roly-Poly's as a kid.

And as for my results coming up Southern, just wait until I go to Georgia this summer. Gonna pay for everything with Five and Fifties. Just mad that Sherman isn't on the U.S. currency.

Just a reaction I have with, ahem, pro-Confederate Southerners. It's always fun.

I was at a geography convention and one session dealt with teaching U.S. History through Geography. The presenter was from Michigan and one exercise he gave was a review of ACW sites. Well, coming from Michigan, he used the Norhtern names for ACW battles (for those who do not know, the North gave the name of the nearest river to most battles, the South the nearest town). Well, a teacher from South Carolina had difficulty with the battle Antietem. Later, while we were riding the elevator down, she complained to a colleague, "Well, I'd have known the battle had he used the right name." I turned and smiled, "Ma'am, as a history teacher, you should know that Sharpsburg is Antietem. As he was from a Northern state, he used the northern name. Besides, we won!"

The rest of the ride was a cold trip. Reminded me again of the old quote on South Carolina, "Too small to be a country, too big to be an insane asylum."

I've only ever been to the northern states (michigan, ohio) had no idea it was that prevalent in the south. s'a bit like england still being pissed off that the US decalred independence... (and i do get descriminated against while in england. i have some of my mom's accent.)

The English are still ticked at that? Wow, we did them a favor. The other major colonies from England (Canada, Australia, and NZ) didn't have any violent revolutions, most likely as the lesson was learned here.

And I wouldn't sweat any discrimination while over there. They're just jealous ;)

55 %. Hmm, and that for a non-native speaker who thought his English was mainly Brittish...

This doesn't bother me, considering most of the answers I gave said they were favored in the western great lakes and that's where I'm from. Even though I'm technically living in the land of the dixies.

I got barely in the Dixie catagory I think 51% Dixie...only I'm from Michigan...


null and void huh....Well, I seriously doubt they'd want us back as a colony as the first thing we'd (sadly) be doing in response is to bomb the hell out of England. (If you haven't already guesssed, I'm serverly opposed to President George "Bomb him! They don't agree with us and I don't like them" W. Bush)
