It nailed me...
Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.
post your results.

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."
No, I call it soda.

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio."
I'm from West Virginia.

You definitely have a Boston accent, even if you think you don't. Of course, that doesn't mean you are from the Boston area, you may also be from New Hampshire or Maine.

How do you sound? Do you have the same accent as your neighbors, or are you holding on to an accent from where you grew up or went to school?

I have definitely picked up the New Hampshire trailer park accent and all the trappings.

Holy fuck, he doesn't have many, but the teeth he does have are like panther fangs. Put this guy down right away when the zombie apocalypse starts.

Nope. I've lived in L.A. my whole life. Though my Dad grew up in Iowa across the river from Illinois.
