In what part of the Midwest?  I've lived most of my life in Michigan and Ohio and have never heard it called that (until now, obviously).

It's called that in Rhode Island too lol.

Isn't this an oxymoron?

Americans don't speak English, The English speak English, most of whom I cannot understand; I'm from Liverpool UK, they certainly don't speak English. Australians speak Australian. Kiwis speak New Zealander, I don't understand that either (sorry Nicky (et al) just for you guys ).

Do NY's understand LA's?

Easily.

Then again, I can understand my next door neighbors accent, and she didn't learn english until she was in her thirties (she's almost ninty now)
Thickest accent I've ever heard.

The only thing I can't understand is the UK version of ebonics (tthe people who can't use proper grammar to save their lives, paired with a slight slur to their speach)
I think you call it chav-speak over there?

Figures, given I'm from Vancouver, Canada. Canadians have their own manner of speaking, which I defy with an equal passion. Luna is a one-woman nation.

I knew what a cruller was, but I said 'no' to using it because I never eat them. ^_^
Apparently, it's classified as a Yankee-ism, which I did not know. Another one for the old rotary file, I suppose.
