Hello. My name is Dinah Sanders. I've been blogging for over twenty years. I'm a web geek and writer. I like it that way.

why don’t they have “Californian” up there? I guess we’re just considered “general American”. That’s hella wrong.

What? No pidgen ??? How’s a local Honolulu sister like myself (albeit 7 yrs.) supposed to chime in when theres’ no “da kine” “hammajang” or “buckaloose” available to choose from….. Huh! What a let-down. I’ll have to come up with some “Hawai’ian” pidgen vocab test for all you savvy to the Polynesian lingo out here…. Waianae, Bra! (ok, more like Waikiki , in my case….) And Dinah, you remember ‘POG’ , right sistah?

I have to say my east bay speak (hella good comment from Gordonzola up there) is probably stronger than my pidgen, but even so, one never forgets POG. Now I’m all hungry for plate lunch.

This test is obviously flawed, since it doesn’t include “bubbler” as an option in Question 6. That answer choice could have pinned down my place of birth within 100 miles. 🙂
