  3. I would totally do this if I had a blog. I have different answers than you do to some of the questions. (Also, I know a lot of people who say "bolth" and "problably".)


    What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball? I've always said "waterbug".
    What do you call gym shoes? Uh, gym shoes?
    What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining? In the South, they totally call this "the devil beating his wife." No joke.
    What is the thing you change the TV channel with? I say "remote", a lot of people I know say "clicker".
