The Times has a
wonderful little quiz up that is supposed to tell you where you grew up based on 20 questions about what you call things and how you pronounce words. I cheated a little by using the words I used as a kid rather than those I use now -- I have switched from "lightning bug" to "firefly" -- but that was only a couple of questions. And they found my home, in Richmond, Virginia. Impressive.
I came out as being from southern California. Gnarly, Dude.
