I'll leave this quiz here. This thread is reminding me of it! It was based on linguistic research or something along those lines. It's fun to look through all the other options... Definitely never heard some of them before!

The quiz pegged me for Buffalo or Rochester N.Y.
I grew up in Tor-on-o so that's pretty close.

Apparently, I'm most likely to be from Honolulu,Freemont or San Jose. Hmm, I was born and raised in South London!
