According to my source, it says these words are regional to the U.S. Since U.S. English came from the UK there maybe some crossover. Read the source material if you want to know more.

Very nice quiz! I think it should accept "Crawdad" not "Crawdads," since the hint is singular. Some folks in Michigan call a garage sale a "rummage sale," and call a water fountain a "drinking fountain." Folks in Vermont call tennis shoes "runners." Everyone seems to call a pill bug something different. I prefer "woodlouse," but that wasn't on the list. Perhaps it isn't that common colloquially, but I believe it is a more official name for the creature.
