This quiz nailed me. 3 most common cities it put me in were all in the greater San Francisco bay area.
And this is all without asking me any questions about the word "hella".
I often thought of San Francisco as unique linguistic area back when I was younger, as it is obviously very west coast, but maybe because of the higher irish/italian population in the 20th century there was some New York influence. Not to the degree of having that quintessential New York accent, but I do remember thinking of my San Francisco-native born Italian grandmother when I would hear New York accents on TV as a kid.

a gray bug that rolls up in a ball I grew up calling a sow-belly which was not a choice, so I picked Sow-bug which was close.
a large road where you drive relatively fast is an interstate which was not a choice.
My top 3 cities were Little Rock :facepalm: Louisville, and Lexington. Pretty "akrit"!
