If they really wanted to narrow it to Texas they should have asked if you call a gas station an ice house. I never heard the end of it from my friends in California when I kept calling them ice houses when I lived in LA.
Ive never heard anyone here call a gas station an ice house tbh.
I'll get my brother to shoot you in the face
Also, my three were San Antonio (because of "y'all"), Laredo, and Denver.
It's an older generation thing, my Dad is 73 and uses "ice house". He grew up in the courts on the west side.

[Pennywise grabs Georgie's arm and pulls him toward the storm drain]
San Jose, Fremont, Miami/Hialeah.
Nope.
Don't you know there's a dead body here?
It was accurate for me even though I gave probably the least helpful answers half the time. Something is fishy.
Hey Cinderella, go find yourself a fella. You're on the clock and midnight is coming.
Same. Didn't realize that was unique to SA
looks like san jose and fremont are assigned in pairs.
Modesto and Fresno, CA, both because I say "firefly," and Boise, ID because I say "kitty-corner."
Modesto and Fresno both make sense since my parents both grew up in central California and I obviously picked up a lot of my speech patterns from them. I've never even set foot in Boise, though.
Mine were Long Beach (CA), Glendale (CA) Whattup spurraider21, and Corona (CA) how apropos.
They call it Access Road out here in California, too.
I grew up in California and always heard "frontage road."
Maybe its a NorCal/SoCal thing? When I would roll with my friend who worked with me at the City (different departments) we'd go down the Access Roads to cut around the traffic on the 710 Freeway.
Could be. Could also be another central California thing. I grew up going back and forth between Pasadena and the Bay Area (and have lived throughout the state at various points, including long stretches in Stockton and Arcata), so with the exception of a few really obviously regional things (like " a") I have a hard time remembering which speech pattern comes from which part of the state. Both of my parents and my extended families always said frontage road, though, and they grew up in Stockton and Concord.
I have fam in Stockton and Santa Cruz. I am from the Southern part and I could be wrong as well. It also could be a Long Beach thing as the city has this complex that it is not L.A., not L.A. county, and is its own en y. Thus if you were to get into legal trouble in Long Beach, chances are L.A. and L.A. County wouldn't know about it unless they dig deeper into your background.
Apparently I talk like I'm from Minnesota. Never lived there.
Gave me San Antonio for using access road and Irving/Fort Worth for using ya'll. Pretty good since I'm from San Antonio and my dad's family is from Fort Worth.
How did you and Baseline Bum get SA for y'all?! I got Shreveport for y'all. I'm from SA. Used access road too. It also gave me Little Rock for lawyer. Also got Lubbock. smh These New York Times vatos need to come down to SA and see how we really talk. Little Rock?! I wear shoes, man.
Accurate indeed...Irving, Shreveport, Houston. I live dead in between Dallas and Shreveport and have a bunch of family from the Houston area.
