Language & Regionalism

I personally think the quiz miscalculated my location because of my lack of knowledge regarding certain terms or adverbs, some that are commonly used in certain areas of the United States.

Like how being diagonally opposite to someone on the street is known as a kitty corner, or that the term "the wolf is giving birth" is apparently used to refer to rain when it falls while the sun is shinning. Nevertheless, taking the quiz was actually really fun.
Not only can you get an abstract idea of where your general choice of words originate from, but you also get to learn and most likely laugh at a handful of different sayings and epithets you probably never heard of before.


PART II: How to persuade a police officer to let you go without paying a speeding ticket.

*With my hands kept on the steering wheel during the entire encounter, my car turned off and my interior light on* Good evening officer...Well, no sir, I don't exactly know why I'm being pulled over. *look like I'm expecting an incredibly harsh punishment* But I guess I must have done something radically stupid.
*make him/her feel in control* Sir, my wallet is in the right side of my back pocket, may I pull it out to give you my driver's license? Thank you.
*Give a somewhat valuable explanation* I'm not used to driving on hilly terrains...
*If you've been left off the hook, thank him or her profusely!* Thank you so much Officer, I can't tell you how considerate that is of you. I'll be careful next time, have a great night!
