Online regional terminology quiz
Pretty interesting! Online quiz to see what region of the U.S. is most represented by your terminology.

Let me know what you scored... ;)
Curiously, I scored 47%, whereas my dad scored 35%. Yet we were both raised in the Everett-Seattle area. (Granted, twenty-some years apart...) His sibs scored around the 40s, as I recall.
One of the terms the ask about is ''liquor store.'' That's what it's called in WA State. About a year ago I found out that in other regions, it's called a ''package shop''(?). Here in Aussie-land, it's a ''bottle shop'' -- including some that are drive-through.
Pretty strict DUI/DWI laws, though.

I scored a 60%. I just call a drive-thru liquor store well, a drive-thru liquor store...
I got a 76%. It said my neck must be at least pink.
