I just call them "easy classes" or "cake walks" I didn't think #10 applied to me either.

100% ArchietheDragon0% General American English 0% Dixie 0% Upper Midwestern 0% Yankee 0% Midwestern Darn quiz is testy; it stuck me with long, hard questions. It knew I was coming. It felt like it was jerking me all over the place, then finally this weird answer spews out. Beats me why it misdiagnosed me.

Upper Midwestern? What the heck is upper midwestern?
I am bi-costal, but I just cannot bring myself to say POP instead of SODA. Easy-A I didn't recognize any of the terms listed.

Tonic in eastern Massachusetts. Soda in western Massachusetts. Small state-big difference. Soda here and I live less than 20 miles outside of Boston. Tonic makes me want a G&T, heavy on the G.

I just call them "easy classes" or "cake walks" At UCLA we called them "Micks" - - as in "it is a Mickey Mouse course (so easy anyone could pass it)"

I've lived in the Philly region my whole life. I only ever called an easy class "cake walk" so I just said whatever the first option was.

There were a few questions I wanted a "both" option for: basement/cellar, route, water/drinking fountain. I've always called an easy class an easy A, or a gimme class. And everyone knows the night before Halloween is Beggars' Night. So more than half the test I was fudging.

At least I have equal parts of Dixie and Yankee. Only fair since my ancestors were on both sides of the Civil War I guess.
I don't think I've ever heard either of the three terms for an easy class.

that's what it gave me too..... but most of the questions were missing the correct answer, so I found that, too. "The what, now? What are they talking about? None of the answers are correct."

I had no idea, but that sounds about right. I thought there might be more Midwestern in me...meh (where did the Dixie thing come from)...but I do love the south.
