The Dialect Survey is about three hundred questions, so don't start unless you have time, but it's cool if you do. Perhaps more cool are the maps plotting the results in little color coded dots across the country, confirming that we New Englanders are the only people who say rotary.

Rotary! Blast! I forgot that one on my list of beloved New England terms.

Do you know the etymology of "cabinet" for a Rhode Island milkshake?

No idea at all.

There's one rotary in the greater San Francisco area, out in the Sunset district. I used to take long diversions from my route just so I could use it, even though it was marred by explanatory signs.

Explanatory signs? Wimps! Rotaries put hair on your chest! Or is that "cause pains in your chest," I forget which. :D
