What does the way you speak say about where you’re from?

What part of the South, AGDee? I truly don't know anyone who calls a shopping cart a buggy. You are still correct on roly-poly! (So it must be the roundabout that planted me in the Southeast.)

I took the test again and some different questions popped up. The resulting map was still the Southeast but a new hotspot. I then selected the least similar map, and up popped Providence/Worcester. Clemsongirl, that means our pronunciation of your university differs! : ). Of course, Clemson has three syllables! : )

I call it a buggy in Tennessee, FWIW.

I've called it a buggy my whole life, and everyone around me calls it the same. I grew up in Texas and have lived in several other locales throughout the southeast. It's been part of the vernacular everywhere that I have lived.

How would you pronounce Clemson? I call it CLEM-sun but I've also hear CLIM-sin, CLIM-sun and CLEMP-sun depending on the degree of Southern accent.
