    This is hilarious! I was a bit skeptical, but out of the 3 results:

    - one is in the county where I lived for the longest stretch of time
    - one is where I began university before the Army
    - one is where I live Right Now!

    Curious to know who else answered with "peenie wallie."

    Still Nappy. Still Happy, ya'll!

    That was spot on for me; it said Philly (where I was born) but the darkest red part of the map was northern Delaware, where I've lived my whole life.

    I'm not from America, but it gave me Glendale, San Jose, and LA. It's geographically accurate for me .

    I've lived in different parts of the country and been around a lot of people from around the world. Over the years, I've picked up their expressions. It gave me the right region, that's all.

    Meh.

    I'm from the Midwest but I now live in the South. The quiz gave me East coast - Baltimore, New York.

    *shrugs* I guess I'm just "special."
