This little quiz locates you on a map of the US based on a few simple linguistic characteristics.
It located me in central Wisconsin - that's not too bad. I grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis, but both parents grew up on Wisconsin dairy farms - both of which my grandparents/uncles continued to farm through my first couple decades. My Dad's farm, particularly was buried in the heart of Wisconsin's farmland. I have lots of girl cousins from the area - they influenced me much as a youngster (they're all STILL diehard Elvis fans).
Edit - Oops, here's the QUIZ

Pegged me correctly with Boston, Worcester, and Providence. I had Xavier take it, seeing as he has now lived in NC longer than MA. I was curious to see what he would get. Without help he was pegged as Boston, Worcester, and Yonkers. It's always the sneakers

Assuming this is the same one Flea had me take yesterday, it put me outside Aurora, IL which is accurate within ten-fifteen miles or so.
Sort of like with DSD, "gym shoes" always narrows it down for me considerably. There's just a few spots along the Great Lakes region that calls them that.

"Rotary" is kind of a dead giveaway.

It sticks me in Alabama. Eh, could be worse I suppose.
I broke it. It said it couldn't load my map and made me take the quiz again, showing me where I was on each answer.
It won't load a map for me! I think I confused it.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Took this the other day. It pinned me down exactly as originating from Augusta, GA, which is kind of creepy.
It also perfectly identified the husband as coming from upstate SC, although it got his cities wrong.
We then got into a heated argument over whether they are called roly-polies (what I call them) or doodle bugs (his term.)

After seeing the map light up blue after every question, I thought it might figure out I wasn't from the USA. In the end, it said **** it and decided I lived in New York, Jersey or Yonkers. It really narrowed down on that geographical region.
Going to say this is credible. Gave me Detroit, Grand Rapids, Buffalo. Bout as close as you get to where I am. Interesting to see how much Canuck speak penetrates your Northern States though.
HEY GOOGLE. **** OFF YOU. **** YOUR ******** SEARCH ENGINE IN ITS ******* ****** BINARY ***. ALL DAY LONG.

Eh...?
Detroit, a prosperous US-Canadian border town, specialising in the treatment of furs. Don't you know anything, Belkira?
Failed completely for me. Pegged me for either Montgomery or Birmingham, AL, or Jackson, MS.
I grew up in TX and have lived in the midwest (STL) for 15 years).

Also it failed since it placed me in Mass. R.I. and N.Y. instead of MD.

This is the question (my answer: sunshower) that pinned me to New York.
EDIT: Oh, I see I'm not the only one who found that question odd.

The answer is 'the devil is beating his wife'. You people are weird.

I'd call them sunshowers as well (and frantically start searching for the rainbow).

So you admit that marriage is truly an unholy union.

That's what I'd always heard, too. My mother used to say it about dry thunder, too.

Yep, apparently sneakers is a huge tell.
Just as Planned.

Louisville, Cincinnati, Akron.
Pretty accurate, I live in Cincy.

Apparently I was easy to pinpoint since I use the words "bubbler" and "rotary".
