Hey y'all. Here's my score.
50% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
I don't know what road goes along side the interstate though. But "I don't know" wasn't a choice. I never called that road anything. It's the road to get to the rest stop, right?
And other questions I had multiple answers for...pillbug and potato bug = same thing in my mind. Hoagie = sub. I've heard of a drive thru liquor store, but I just figured they are called drive thru liquor stores.
Edit: Another funny word choice thing...I've always called a liter of pepsi a "boss". I don't know where I picked it up at, but lots of people have never heard of it and make fun of it.

Hrm I wonder if it is due to the fact that PA is 50 feet out my back door in Maryland.
Naw, I'm a PA transplant, been in this area since '86.
When you get to the 20 year mark are you no longer a Transplant? Or does that stick with you forever?
