Neutral ground, service road, and poboy, nailed everyone from Louisiana.


Yeah but the Poboy was a trick question. It asked what you’d call a cold cut sandwich, and an option was poorboy. No one I know says poor boy, and it’s usually used to describe a hot sandwich not cold cuts.

It pinned me down to Amarillo, Lubbock or Little Rock. I’ve only driven through LR and haven’t been to the other two.

I didn't get asked the neutral ground question when I took it and it still got me with New Orleans.
