All my life in Milwaukee...

a few sample results:

Most common around the Great Lakes and into the northeast U.S.

Northeast United States and Great Lakes, and west Coast

Western Great Lakes including Chicago and Milwaukee

Northeast U.S. and Great Lakes region

New England and western Great Lakes

Favored in western Great Lakes region

Heavy bias in southern Wisconsin and Massachusetts

notice how many Great Lakes... and I had many "common everywhere" yet my final results were:

43% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Was born and raised and have lived in the Chicago area all of my life, but both parents were from West Virginia and I spent a lot of time in Tennessee growing up.

What was odd were some of the Northeastern terms I have picked up.
