Dialect meme, ga*ked from everyone

[darcydodo]

I grew up in LA; both my parents are from California, but my dad's from the north and my mom's from the south. I lived for four years in England, and that certainly informs my idiolect, but for the particular questions asked here I'm definitely able to differentiate between inherited and actively learned.

1. A body of water, smaller than a river

#16: A teeter-totter, obviously ;-)

And here I thought I was virtually the same as you all the way down. But I didn't think of see-saw until I saw what you wrote. Must be my midwestern charm....

[darcydodo]

Yeah, must be....

I was looking at the notebook I used the semester we were in German 1, and it's got your name on the very first page, I guess because we'd broken up into groups or something! :)

[chimerically]

Exactly!

In Massachusetts #2 would be "carriage," which I'd never heard before coming here.

[darcydodo]

God, they might as well call it a stroller!

[asarwate]

Or a pram :-P

8 is "pop" to my parents and siblings; I ostentatiously chose to move up the social ladder on that one in college.

16 is definitely a teeter-totter in the midwest.

17 is asking if you start at the tip or at the crust, I think. Also if slices are triangular or square.

21 is a bubbler in Wisconsin, but definitely a fountain in Minnesota.

At the tip, of course, otherwise what would I hold it by?! Also, they're only square if they're from Domino's, which preferably they're not.

Damn it, now I want pizza.

5. The piece of furniture that seats three people.
If my life were more interesting, I would have said "love seat."

[darcydodo]

Yes, well, I don't even have need for a two-person love-seat. *sigh*

[aepfelx]

does this mean you're going to tell us about your one-person love-seat?

The question here

[jessbess]

is creek or crick.

Re: The question here

[darcydodo]

Given that it's not cramping my neck, it's most assuredly a creek. ;)
