  • The NYTimes have come out with a quiz that can pinpoint the exact area of the US you're from based on certain slang you use! I decided to test it out with a Brit, and another American from Missouri! Let's see where we're from!

    Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!
    If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

      @diane Taylor In the US "dope" would have been just heroin many decades ago, but "smoking dope" = smoking marijuana has been common for years in many places. I've seen it in print. "dope" is an old Southern term for cola, which originally had cocaine in it. In the South today any flavors of carbonated drink may still be all called a "coke". In certain parts of the US, from western NY state across to the northern west coast, it's often or always pop. Google "soda map".

      Millicent Bowers a service road is its own separate road with multiple lanes, separated from the highway (or motorway). usually, at least where i’m from, the highway has tolls where as the service road is toll free and has traffic lights and intersections. when exiting the highway you exit onto the service road. i hope that makes sense.

    2:45 This is a VERY important distinction where I live. San Diego County has the 5, 8, 15, 52, 56, 67, 75, 76, 78, 79, 94, 125, 163, and 905. Freeways are typically bigger, faster, and longer than highways, causing them to use on ramps and bridges instead of directly intersecting with other streets like highways do.

The bottom 3 cities were New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Detroit, so I guess that just shows I’m nothing like Louisiana. Also, definitely got a few questions that none of you three did, one of which being about a place where you could drive through and quickly get beer or some sort of alcohol, which I’ve never heard of before. This was fun to do and fun for me to watch you guys do.

    For the long sandwich on a roll, "poor boy" is actually "Po Boy", with a New Orleans accent. Because that's what they call them. The problem with Evan in this case and many others is there's a lot of things he just doesn't know, so he thinks they are funny. "Grinder" is New England. "Sub" is short for "submarine sandwich", for obvious reasons.

    15:40 She is so right about that!!! I’m from Tennessee and my Mom had been an investigative reporter and was on the radio a while too, and she’d trained to lose her accent. So I grew up with relatively little accent, and I didn’t use a lot of the words other people chose, regionalisms. And some words are said so differently it’s like a different word. Windle for window. Baygh (like how it would be if glug didn’t have an L, an ugh sound) for bag. Lots of Hs added. St(h)ormh. Like little added exhalations. Fight rhyming with a’ight (like all-right). Rural being ruhuhl, or ruuuhl. When on trips, people have trouble placing where I’m from. Usually it’s sort of Midwest, if anything.
    I’m just so thankful for my Mom, lol. There are a few things I like about my home state. But I really don’t like the accent. Maybe it had to do with all the bullies being very thickly country accented and I associated it with jerks who didn’t like learning and that’s why it still crawls all over my skin. I hate it even more than the stereotypical Jersey accent (both ranked some of the least intelligent and pleasant sounding accents) because at least that has novelty on its side. 😂
    I vote for trying to be as broad as possible so my kids won’t stand out to people as super accented when we go on trips or if we move.
