For the record, my answer to question 2 is properly "goosie night" and my answer to question 10 is actually "a flake class." Those, however, were not options, so I went with the thing I was next most likely to say.

I believe #2 should be "cabbage night."

I have to agree with Jay. Question 2 is goosie night.
However, question 10 would be "Mickey Mouse class" for me.

Cabbage night is a sort of second choice. But goosie night is #1.
Mickey Mouse class is a good one - I don't think I've ever used it, but I heard it a lot at school.

"Bird course" is what we use up here in northern, frozen Drakanada (aka Toronto).

Makes sense to me, Gus. I figure most people who learn English as a second language are learning mostly General American. (Unless they're learning English through exposure, having moved to the mid-west or something.) I can't explain the Yankee-ness, other than that our (i.e. Yankee) phrasing is more wide-spread than the rest because of tv.

I have the same results as Gus.
I didn't notice any ebonics type answers.
