dana_shulps.
Regional meme!
Age:
TWENTY ONE
Where did you grow up:
WALES, WISCONSIN, ABOUT AN HOUR FROM THE LAKE. A STATE WHERE WE INHABITANTS SAY THINGS LIKE STOP-N-GO LIGHTS, DON'T CHA KNOW, AND YOUS GUYS, WEAR BLAZE ORANGE TO CHURCH, USE GERMAN GRAMMAR WHILE SPEAKING ENGLISH, PRONOUNCE MILK AND BAG INCORRECTLY, AND CALL AN ATM A TYME (TAKE YOUR MONEY EVERYWHERE) MACHINE (FLUX CAPICITOR OPTIONAL).
WHAT DO YOU CALL:
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks.
CREEK
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called.
SHOPPING CART
3. A metal container to carry a meal in.
LUNCHBOX, ALTHOUGH EVERYONE HERE JUST USES PAPER BAGS.
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in.
FRYING PAN
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people.
SOFA. LOVE SEAT ONLY HOLDS TWO.
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof.
GUTTER
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening.
PORCH. WHAT ELSE DO PEOPLE CALL IT?
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages.
SODA IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE STATE, POP UP NORTH.
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup.
PANCAKES OR SHORT STACK.
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself.
SUB.
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach.
SWIM TRUNKS.
12. Shoes worn for sports.
SNEAKERS
13. Putting a room in order.
CLEANING?
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark.
FIREFLY
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball.
ROLLI-POLLI
16. The children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down.
TEETER-TOTTER
17. How do you eat your pizza?
ANY WAY I DAMN WELL WANT TO. JUST NOT CHICAGO STYLE, FUCKING FLATLANDERS.
18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff?
RUMMAGE, OR RUMMAGE SALE
19. What's the evening meal?
DINNER
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are?
BASEMENT
21. What do you call the thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places?
BUBBLER. WATER FOUNTAINS ARE LITTLE STATUES FOR A GARDEN THAT SPIT WATER.
WE ALSO USE BY FOR AT (I'm going over by John's), BORROW INSTEAD OF LEND ("Hey, can you borrow me a five?"), FER INSTEAD OF FOR, "HOW'S-BY-YOU?" AS A GREETING, NEXT THURSDAY MEANING A WEEK FROM THIS COMING THURSDAY, RUT AND ROOT ARE INTERCHANGEABLE, "STAND UP" IN A WEDDING, PEOPLE FROM MICHIGAN'S UPPER PENINSULA ARE UPers (YOOPERS), AND YET/STILL MEAN THE SAME THING.
AS YOU CAN TELL, I LIKE CHECKING OUT ACCENTS.
I TAG ANYONE THAT WANTS TO DO THIS.

There was this one scene girl with horrid extensions, in my physics class and she was from Wisconsin. She asked the teacher if she could go to the bubbler. We all turned and stared because we had no idea what the fuck she just said. Hahaha. I asked my friend up in MN and he says it's common up in those parts. WEIRD.
I say water fountain. Sorry to say...

Yeah, the rummage thing gets people, but it's even better when used as a verb. My (other) sister and I used to go rummaging during summer.
