i got a 100% on this bostonian-to-english quiz but i grew up near boston….. i’m curious what you guys get. there’s a couple things in here i didn’t even know are regionalisms + a couple things i hadn’t heard before but could parse pretty easily from context. tag/reply with what you got and if you’re familiar with the area or not!
#didn’t know these were regionalisms? i’ve never heard any of these phrases in my life (via @worldwarthree)
GENUINELY before today i thought fluffernutter and american chop suey were part of National American Culture ™. i was so puzzled by those questions that i googled both bc i was like “ohhh, this quiz maker thinks some american things aren’t as widespread as they are….. they’re assigning regional markers to things that aren’t regional…… every american will instantly recognize these….”
and then i discovered both of these things are, in fact, particular to the new england region.
& went. What.
This summer, I will have been married to a man from Massachusetts for 25 years. You learn things.
I…know a lot of people from Boston?
My kids did better on this than they did on the Boston one. For some reason.
yaaaaaas
Boston, which is my happy place:
Pittsburgh, a spiritual sibling to Chicago:
Didn’t nail the PGH test as hard but yinz’ll forgive me for mispronouncing Wholey’s. I mean you’ll give me shit about it forever but you won’t hold it against me.

Hah! Maritime Canadian - got 12 out of 14 on the Boston quiz. Most of it was educated guessing, by deduction or knowing...
