I know why I got such a high Yankee rating! It wasn't til we moved up to New Jersey that I'd ever heard of Devil's Night, or found out what a cruller and a rotary were. But to be honest on the survey, I had to admit that I now know what they are.

Messed me up good, it did!

Well... I read it a little different. I've ~heard~ some of those expressions before, like 'cruller' and 'rotary', but I don't use them. And they're not really used where I live.

Like the "pop" question, I know they're called "sodas" and "cokes" (even when not coca-cola, that's the ringer...) elsewhere. But it was "pop" when I was a kid. Though... the term "soda" seems to be generally taking over now, though the homogenization of all things.
