Whether you realize it or not, the words that come naturally to you are rooted in the place you live! While some areas call it pop, others call it soda, and each word you use can help us figure out which state you call home. You might not be a native, but you are sure to have picked up a few of the words that are thrown around all the time. 

During this quiz, we have put together a few word lists, and we want you to choose the one you use most. It might feel a little odd to examine the way you speak, but you will be amazed by the way it allows us to figure out your zip code. It might also surprise you to learn what they call your favorite foods in other parts of the country!

Try not to overthink when you make your choice — you want your answers to flow as easily as the way you speak. One or two words might not lead us to your door, but a series of them will tell us your state nickname. Will you get us close, or will we need to remap our word boundaries?
