How do you pronounce Aunt?

[SwinneySwitch]

48%, barely Yankee! I've been here way too long!

[thoughtomator]

48% here, too. Odd, for someone who has lived almost his whole life within 50 miles of NYC.

[rdb3]

My result: 31% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.

Northeastern Ohio buckeye, through and through.

[sharktrager]

51% (Dixie). Just above the Mason-Dixon Line

[NRA2BFree]

78% (Dixie). You are a solid Southerner!!

We have our own special language. LOL

[So Cal Rocket]

Hmmmmm:

52% (Dixie). Just above the Mason-Dixon Line

I'm a native Californian... but I guess you can say I'm a southerner, since I live in Southern California.

[shekkian]

38% Definitely Yankee

[kassie]

I got 53% Dixie. Just above the Mason-Dixon Line.

[patton]

Hey, I got 53%, and I live in Virginia!

[tiredoflaundry]

in me!

[beeler]

"82% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?"

Aw hell, watch out ya'll! Supposedly, I am related to Sam Houston. Although, he was pro-Union (or at least anti-slavery), I believe.

[AdamWilliams]

68% which it says is just under the Mason-Dixon Line. Pretty close, being that I live in KY.

[Roses0508]

71% (Dixie). You are a solid Southerner!

[stan the beaver]

73% Rebel!! And BTW, anti-slavery and pro-Union are not necessarily the same thing.

31% (Yankee)in the test,both in my heart.

[stainlessbanner]

Y'ain't from 'round here bump

[Mark in the Old South]

78% Southern, but I had to cheat a little. There is no way on God's green earth I was gonna be a Yankee. Those are fightin words even coming from a computer program.

[beeler]

True. I feel rather confident that Houston was anti-Slavery. I don't really know how he felt about succession.

[Mark in the Old South]

Re: "... but I guess you can say I'm a southerner, since I live in Southern California."

Ummmm No you can't. Sorry you just can't. It just wouldn't be fittin.

[Mark in the Old South]

DC area right?

[patton]

The original corner marker is 200' from my house.

New question: Cart or Buggy?

[beeler]

From wikipedia.com regarding Sam Houston:

"After the annexation of Texas by the United States in 1845, he was elected to the U.S. Senate together with Thomas Jefferson Rusk. Houston served there from February 21, 1846 until March 4, 1859. He was considered a potential candidate for president. But, despite the fact that he was a slave-owner, his strong Unionism and opposition to the extension of slavery alienated the Texas legislature and other southern States, especially with his support of the Oregon Bill (1848) and the Compromise of 1850 and his opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act. He was a lame duck senator from 1857.

He ran for governor of Texas, unsuccessfully in 1857 and successfully in 1859, making him the only person in U.S. history to be the governor of two different states. He resigned in March 1861 following his refusal to take an oath of loyalty to the Confederacy. He was replaced with Edward Clark, having refused the use of force to prevent the secession."

Interesting.

[azhenfud]

We shop with a buggy; ride a cart while playing golf.

[Clemenza]

Aunt = Ant

Forest = Faaarest

Orange = Areange

Drawer = Draw

Florida = Flahrida

Take a guess where I'm from if you don't know already.

[WestCoastGal]

48% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Odd since I was born in NYC, lived almost all my adult life in California and now live in Texas.

Although when in grammer school my parents lived for a short period of time in Texas (McAllen) and Florida (Miami)

So I probably have a lot of different ways to say things.

[Mark in the Old South]

Son that explains it. You are behind the enemy lines.

[patton]

The Church at the Falls (Falls Church) was used as a stable by the Army of Northern Aggression. They actually ripped out Geo. Washington's pew, to fit more horses in.

[Apollo]

79% Southern. My dad is from Michigan, so maybe that's where the other 21% comes from. Do you know how Yankees are like hemorrhoids? When they come down and go back up, they're ok. When they come down and stay, they're a real pain in the a@%.

[Mark in the Old South]

ROTFL. I haven't heard that one before.

I don't mind Yankees, even the damn ones that come here and stay, but Lawd 'ave mercy son don't tell me how it was done in Cleveland.

[azhenfud]

drawer = droar

Georguh?

[Clemenza]

Proud New Yorker, now suffering in Seattle (get me out of here please!!!).

[SwinneySwitch]

Houston also served 2 terms as president of the Republic of Texas!

[tiredoflaundry]

New York = New Yawk
Long Island= Lawn Giland
:-)

[azhenfud]

Sorry - I couldn't tell by yer accent...;-)

[bad company]

83% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

Louisiana coonass.

[dljordan]

83% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

Yes, all of them.

[aomagrat]

61% (Dixie) Just below the Mason-Dixon line. Seeing as how I'm from South Carolina, I reckon all those years in the Navy rubbing shoulders with yankees has rubbed off something on me.

[Ditto]

True. I feel rather confident that Houston was anti-Slavery. I don't really know how he felt about succession.

Just the opposite. He was a slave owner, but was strongly against Texas secession, and said so loudly --- as Texas governor in 1861, he refused to take a loyalty oath to the Confederate government, and as a result was impeached by the fire-eaters in the legislature. He predicted, accurately, that slavery, the South, and Texas, would be destroyed in a war with the North.

[Dan from Michigan]

26% (Yankee). You show a very strong Yankee score

Most answers were Great Lakes.

[Jackson57]

73% (Dixie). You are a solid Southerner!

Yeeeehaaaawwww ... damn straight.

Ain't it great bein' Southern?

[Hoodlum91]

Don't worry, I've taken this test before and it's completely bogus.

Example: How do you pronounce route?

The site claim that "rhymes with clout" is strongly biased Northeast, which is completely wrong. Anyone in the Boston area knows it's "root".

[cowboyway]

86% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

Hell yeah! Both sides of the family.

Yee Haw!

[Jackson57]

Damn, I'm jealous. I've been living in Taxachusetts too long. They've corrupted me. I don't talk as good as I used to.

[Sybeck1]

92% Rebel

[WinOne4TheGipper]

50% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Yikes!!! How'd this happen? The farthest north I've ever been is Wyoming- and that was for only a short time when I was a tot. I've never been east of Houston, or west of Vegas. Quick, fellow southerners, what do I have to do for penance? Stand out in the street with the Stars and Bars? Sing Dixie? Help!!!:)
