But, some questions, for me, had two answers, depending on when. For example, as a child we all said "cellar". but now I say "basement". So how do I answer? And what the heck is a cruller?

I'm surprised they didn't include the names of the meals of the day. As a child, we had breakfast, dinner, and supper, in that order. Now it's breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think it's a Northeast thing, but not sure.
