1/2 of my life in California, 1 year in Texas and 22 years in Az....
41% dixie....go figure
Me too actually...gone 1981-1996
But back since
I hereby formally absolve you.
Me either
Soft drink
Country folk up on the Cumberland plateau say coke for all soft drinks
Defuniak Springs?
You had to go to Florala for fun?
That was a joke
Glad to know there is at least one other of us out there.
That’s quite a mix
84% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?
Yankee born, Southern raised, and a rebel by the grace of God.
Besides girls, we shot squirrels, and deer. Did informal target shooting.
Hung out at the Parkway Drive-in. Drove down to the bay and went flounder gigging.
Played sports. Went to church. The best way to meet the best girls was at church.Also Swam in the lakes around Defuniak.
Fun exercise. 90% here. Born and raised Southeast Texas.
Lived in California, Arizona, New Jersey, Alabama, Louisiana and eventually got back home. Never leaving again.
And crawfish are dinner and bait.
I’m guessing back then 98 and 30A had little development except a few cottages around Seagrove and Grayton beach
We deep sea fished Destin
Only real motel was the Holiday Inn...small about a mile east of the bridge
You had to go to Fort Walton to really eat....
60s and early 70s
It’s a parking lot now in summer
North Walton. Still has charm
My result:
38% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
I grew up in Cleveland. I was surprised at the number of Dixie terms I used. More than I expected.
Exactly what mine said. ^5!
LOL! “83% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?”
Actually, I think I may have some around here somewhere...
We don’t take such as this. Though linguistics is interesting.
68% Dixie
50% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.
48%
63% Dixie - a few more years down here and I bet I get 70% or better...born in Rochester NY in ‘52 and transplanted to S. MS in ‘86..
Never heard it called Coke in general it was always Co-Cola. Or when I was really young it was a bottle of dope.
It wasn’t going to rain it was going to “clabber up and squirt”
The child wasn’t spoiled it was spolt...
And it wasn’t called humidity it was called close or stiffeling (with a hard I) sweltering was often heard.
And you didn’t call it diarrhea it was called scuttry (scut tree).
