It had me nailed down so close, it was a little shocking.

“It had me nailed down so close, it was a little shocking.”

Me too!

I took this before today (the kid posted it to facebook), but seeing here that there were different questions I took it again.

This time I got the title question - being from NYC, but not from Brooklyn, I say “you guys”.

It’s a very good little quiz, I like the “I have no word for this” answer.

I even asked hubby, but it seems we have no word for the little strip of grass between sidewalk and street. And he grew up in Long Island suburbia! He uses “apron” but only for the bit of the driveway that crosses the sidewalk. Amazing that we don’t have any name for them.

It had me mostly red/orange over the whole eastern half of the US. From Mass down to Florida and across to up and down the Mississippi river. There are deep red areas all over Alabama, Georgia etc. but the curious thing is it identified three cities as closest: Newark/Patterson, Yonkers and NYC....

To me this just means that their test group of questions is very limited in scope and do not account for a respondent having traveled or lived elsewhere extensively.
