"We're Going Down the Wrong Side of the Freeway...And the Lights Are Off!"

Oh man, I can see lots of possibilities here!

Isn't freeway a regional term, I know you don't hear it much down South, it seems like a California/West Coast term to me.

David and Jeff or Reichen and Chip??

Wow man, like really? Sorry ~ couldn't resist, lol. I'll be curious to hear what others say since I live out west. Do they have "freeways" in the East? Good thinking on your part Clp ~ this could be a good clue!

We call it interstate around here too. But transplanted folks still have a tendency to call it a freeway. So that said even if the team is FROM the south area, if they are tranplanted, they might still call it a freeway. You really have to be born and raised here or either been down here more years than you can count. So it could still be any one of them that could say that and not from any particular area. That's how you can tell us apart besides the fact we say "Ya'll" instead of you guys!

Press release for episode 7:


Quote:

"We're Going Down The Wrong Side of the Freeway... and The Lights Are Off!"

One team is picked on incessantly by another, on THE AMAZING RACE 4, Thursday, July 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

When one team nicknames and mocks another team behind their back, the targeted team tries to brush it off, but claims "it’s fifth grade all over again!" Meanwhile, teams face the prospect of a nightmare 26-hour train ride in filthy, boiling-hot train cars, with some wondering whether they really will be able to endure. Also, an awkward, desperate race to the pit stop finds two teams each opting for bizarre forms of transportation, where every move could be their undoing, and any turn can lead to either victory or defeat!"




The team doing the nicknaming has got to be Jon and Kelly and the team being picked on would seem to be Millie and Chuck. Seems like two teams we can say are safe in episode 6. But I am leaning towards episode 6 being non-elimination because of the India spoiler that says they raced 2 legs there. If I can find that specific spoiler I will post it in the spoiler thread.

Well dahlins' if this southern belle was in a "furrin" country. I reckon I would refer to any big 'ol road with lots of lanes as either a highway or a freeway unless it is an Interstate (then it's 95, or 40). Ya'll do know that with the exception of Florida (Yankees gone south) Toll roads are as rare as hen's teeth in these parts so all our highways are freeways.

In other words, sweeties I wouldn't put too much weight on the use of the word freeway. That dog don't hunt. Nuf said.

I was born and bred in Texas and there we don't have any freeways - cause they are ALL free.

All interstates are highways, or more likely just referred to by thier number: 90, The Loop (410), 1604, 10, etc. And there are no county roads - any road with out a proper name is a farm road (as in FM1234).

I live in Wisconsin now and it took me quite awhile to figure out what a Beltway was.

Well, here in the Old Dominion, we have Parkways not Freeways, so it is probably not the Washington Metropolitan Area people saying it.

We all know by now, from the previews for Thursday, that it is Tian/Jaree saying it!

I was born and raised in Texas, too, and we do have freeways here, along with highways, interstates, loops, farm roads and toll roads.

For the natives, within town it's the east-west freeway or the north-south freeway, but the sections of those roads that stretch beyond the city are called I-20, I-30 and I-35. For transplants to the area, usually all are referred to by their interstate name.

Same goes with the highways that are named after a person--within the city Hwy 287 is the Martin Luther King freeway, and out in the boonies it's just Hwy 287.
