Jules Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Here's why occasionally I have dead giveaways that I'm not a local. I've picked up quite a few confusing vocabulary habits in Wisconsin I'm afraid. All 22 maps are hilarious, interesting and sometimes even baffling, but here are a few of my favorites! http://i.imgur.com/Gv52CT3.png http://i.imgur.com/WwkaCNQ.png http://i.imgur.com/pk0BgN2.png http://i.imgur.com/OIKrplB.png And here's one that'll make you proud... http://i.imgur.com/UOHf3up.png Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/22-maps-that-show-the-deepest-linguistic-conflicts-in-america-2013-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 "The City" one is dead on. LOL. There's one that shows that the whole country calls a specific lunch sandwich a "sub", except for Long Island, where it's a "hero", and Philadelphia, where it's called a "hoagie". I'm very curious as to why people call it that way in such small areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Some fucking jokesters in college thought that "The City" was Philadelphia. I laughed in their faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I was in south Hampton a couple of years ago as asked for an Italian hoagie and the chick behind the desk looked at me like I was retarded. I was totally not understanding why she kept saying what until I realized hero was the word there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Lothbrok Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 lmao, so true. Didnt know this was a thing http://static.businessinsider.com/image/51af5dc8ecad04f448000014-915/these-exist.jpg Evidently it is. One of my friends went to Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA and there was a "brew-thru" a few blocks down from the school. It's weird. You pull in, tell them what you want, give 'em the money, pop the trunk, they load it, and you drive off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Scags Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I wonder what happened in the St. Louis area that made them not call soda "pop"? I know when I've gone to Seattle, I always make fun of people who call it pop and vice versa when I call it soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
