other places I have been seem to use yard sale or garage sale, dependent on whether or not your shit is set up in the garage or yard. Not sure why they don't say driveway sale as that is usually where the shit is. Another one used around here, usually as a church fundraising activity is rummage sale.

You're addressing questions I didn't see, so there's more than 25 of them.

Round these parts, we have different terms for that. Today, it's called "Thursday."

For SoCals, they just needed to ask "do you hold on to long vowel sounds for an inordinate time?"

1. Rochester
2. Buffalo
3. Boston

Last one is a bit of a head-scratcher, given that I've never lived there before.

I think the quiz should have included a question about pizza, as I've heard them referred to as pies or zas in other places. Also snowmobiles, given the Palin reference to Taaaaaaaaaaaaaadd being a champion "snow machine" racer.
