    Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, & Minnesota? I'm guessing the exception is that it's ok as long as she's thinner than or has less facial hair than you.

    Ohio wouldn't need those exceptions because it's not plausible to find a thin, barefaced Ohio female.

    author states:

    "This map taps into the place names contained in the USGS National Hydrography Dataset to show how the generic names of streams vary across the lower 48. Creeks and rivers are symbolized in gray due to their ubiquity (although the etymology behind the American use of creek is interesting), while bright colors symbolize other popular toponyms."

    my old roommate who was from chicago used to use the most ridiculous, over-the-top southern accent and tell people he was from "old crick, mississippi" just to mess with them

    so that's usually what i think about when i hear the word creek

    Sitting there thinking nobody calls it branch. It's just creek or stream in the deep south.

    Never heard anybody refer to a stream/creek as anything other than that. Am aware that some places call it a brook (northeast) crick (South) or bayou (Louisiana) but I've never heard of any of those others.

    god damnit people its talking about toponyms - not what people call a small, moving body of water

    example:

    "What's the name of that creek over yonder?"
    "I think it's called Rocky Branch/Fork/Run/Swamp/etc"

    probably because you're reading the map wrong. it says Ohio uses the term 'Run'

    I mean you're using a formula from a company that's in the business of selling houses...

    Akin to using a conservative think tank as a reason to support the flat tax.

    It assumes 20% down

    Which is a really bad assumption. The median downpayment for fthb is 5%
