I lived in Southern Indiana for several years. I had quite a few friends who are from and live in Kentucky. I picked up on some of their lingo such as "dibs", dinner instead of lunch, supper instead of dinner. I also somewhat picked up on their accents as well. When I moved from Indiana to Colorado, I worked about 8 months at MCI and most people there were from the East Coast or California. They noticed my accent and even mentioned something to me about it when I got laid off. I was also told I did not fit into their corporate culture which was basically an east coast mentality which is live to work, not work to live. I tried the test but it didn't work.

My father-in-law learned to hate me because when he'd invite me over for dinner, I was always 6 hours late. Where I was raised, dinner was the meal AFTER lunch.
