Slide thread, but has anyone else noticed how (people) that actually type "y'all" are almost always liberal scum or niggers? As a southern gentleman I find it a bit upsetting that my favorite way of addressing a group of people has been appropriated by this human trash.

fake news

Thought it might be interesting for a Brit to do this.

From a non native speaker

Looks like i'm all over the place on this thing. Most similar cities given were Tulsa, Plano, and San Jose.

I grew up in Saskatchewan and moved to Alberta when I was 10. I am 33.

it's close, I'm at the center of those 3 dots.

>practically everywhere red except Philly and south Jersey
Why don't you like Philly, leaf?

Aren't there a lot of black people in philly?

Sup yo maryland here, Yo you live a bop away. Thats beat as fuck, i was about to pull up.

you in the city senpai?

This is surprisingly accurate. I live just outside of Fort Wayne, never realized we had our own dialect.

...

>liberal scum
you might just be stupid the only people i know who actually type that live in the south

wrong picture

Checks out.

from detroit

It seems that way. Or at least a lot of liberals use y'all.

>american education

Damn, it got my city

I am from Oregon but apparently I talk like I'm from Detroit.

>Implying that we're all uneducated swine.

>canadian education

The liberals can be carpetbaggers. They think eating grits and saying "y'all" makes them Southrons, you see.

Interesting. What area? West country here, though I don't have a thick accent.

Not any more.

>I didn't google I promise!

From Albuquerque

What dialectic do you call Philly/South New Jersey?

Also the test showed the closest american city to me, so pretty legit.

San Jose, CA native here. Pretty close.

apish

I write for a living and if I were googling, I would have had a perfect score.

>n-n-nobody from America can know anything! Muh Sup Forums memes say so.

Jokes on you, my mom's already dead retard

cot and caught are pronounced complexly different.
gym shoes, pop, etc.

>cot and caught are pronounced differently
no
>gym shoes
tennis shoes or just shoes
>pop
yes

Spot on, actually

I've never been to the United States, but looks like I'm from Washington DC.

I got 22000 on that :D ebin!

I've spent time on the internets.

hey this thing's pretty good

Looks like we got the exact same results. Queens here.

ayyy

>Detroit
Yea right

They really zeroed in on me.

You guys all talk stupid

How the fuck are cot and caught pronounced differently!?

Are you retarded?

>chimpcago

yeah

I don't really see any reason to know a bunch of convoluted words which most people don't understand unless you're trying to get a job in academia or something. Most of my communication is with buyers on eBay or sellers at the flea market, both of whom I need to talk to at a grade school level.

wtf i'm not even finished with the test yet and i get this

it knew i was from michigan, pretty spooky

I have never seen or heard anyone call the night before Halloween anything

>/www.nytimes
fuck off kike

According too this. I am close to northern Cali. Even though I have never left Nebraska once.

that's strange, i guess it's a meme around nigger-town Detroit since niggers like to chimp out on those nights by vandalizing shit

Aye

>Devil's Night
It's a Michigan thing and not mentioned often outside of the Detroit area.
I grew up in a particularly bad neighborhood and we'd have to deal with all sorts of shit on Devil's Night. Not just egging and TPing, either; I can recall a few incidents of fucking arson as well.

You've never been around Detroit then.

It's a holiday.

They call in fires to shoot at firemen, etc.

Are you from chiraq too?

Thanks Texas

Painfully accurate.

Yup, has no clue whether I'm Southern or New Yorker. What I get for growing up in both.

...

fucking spot-on
it decided right after I said that I refer to sugary carbonated beverages as 'pop'.

god damn, i didn't know it was THAT regional to say 'pop' up here as well as 'devil's night'

We used to be wary of the fucking nigger neighborhood coons driving around smashing mailboxes and spraypainting houses.
Oh how fun it used to be to throw big ass packages of fireworks out the window to scare the niggers.
Days of Yore...

It's also somewhat of a Pittsburgh thing.

They found me

...

Fucking Russian, don't know shit abou speaking properly. Kys

according to this im from newyork

fuck this gay map, im from alaska.

>tfw you're born in maine and have more in common language with a Russian than your own country

south illinois here

It's kind of useless since I always get something different, but here are my results this time.

>he calls soda 'pop'

>A FUCKING LEAF

>he calls pop 'soda'

>cot and caught are pronounced complexly different.
yes
>gym shoes
sneakers
>pop
soda

I'm from NY.

>cot
caht
>caught
cort

Not too far off, I'm from Georgia.

There aren't a lot of sidewalks where I live, so I've never had a word for the grass between them and the road, nor am I aware of any small road on the side of highways.
Unless they mean the shoulder. That part that makes a horrible noise when you drive over it.
And the concept of "Devil's Night" is just something I'm aware of from television.

And it's called soda, you yankee fools.

> caught = cort

Confirmed for retarded.

>And it's called soda, you yankee fools.
Everyone here in NY calls it soda. I think pop is a midwest thing.

It was pretty easy for it to pickup on me living near Pittsburgh because we sound like illiterate retards to the rest of the country.

Seriously, lookup "Pittsburghese"

This is really fucking accurate considering I was born and raised in Fort Wayne, and I've been living in Indy for 5 years.

Who pop here?
>soda fags need not apply

I'm also retarded and clicked the wrong image.

Huh, I didn't know they had a Spanish version of the test.

R8

Brother they got us with bubbler

Jersey?

haven't seen one of these threads in a while. pretty accurate. from minnnesota

>I grew up in Saskatchewan and moved to Alberta when I was 10. I am 33.
What the fuck? Are you actually me?
I grew up in Saskatchewan and moved to Alberta when I was 11. I am 33.

Weird part though is my map came out way different.

I've got the genuine American accent (or: non-regional)
My mom has quite a bit of a southern Floridian accent but my dad's is neautral since he shipped out with the military from Texas and lost his accent so I developed the neautral twang. I can coherently speak with most accents though, has a lot to do with language exercises I did when I was a kid

>I think pop is a midwest thing.
Then I suppose soda is an east coast term, rather than north/south.
But what do I call those people, other than Yankee?

>has anyone else noticed how (people) that actually type "y'all" are almost always liberal scum or niggers?
This, it really does suck.

hicks?

It gave me Jackson, Mississippi; Tallahassee, Florida; and Jacksonville, Florida. I'm from Georgia, but I grew up in California.

>when you're a townie

>hoagie

fucking dead ringer. i wonder what i'd have got without answerign that.

Hick has always been for uncultured folk, usually in the countryside.
Some overlap with redneck, but those exist within city limits as well.

stop asking if I'm from Canada

How yall doin

Soda is it's original name, well soda pop is
Then it was shorted to Soda
Then the Midwest picked up pop(and from what I understand Massachusetts as well)
Soft drink is a west coast deal

>Rain while sunny
>"The devil's beating his wife"

Where in the FUCK do these people live?
