It said I was Canadian?
25% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.
Not surprised. Lived mostly in Minnesota.
All Y’all down south talk funny.
41% Dixie. That surprised me as many of my answers pinpointed me to NJ, which is where I grew up, or Pennsylvania where I live now. My father was from Chicago, so I have some midwestern influence as well.
So you obviously know that "Hoagie" is the only correct term for that delicacy. Now I'm looking forward to a Wawa run a little later!
You don't have to say you're from New Jersey, your handle says it quite well!
Yes, it was a different world. I spent one Summer working at LaFountaine’s Wharf in Destin. Jobs were extremely difficult to find.
There was a small store/gas station in Seagrove and a few wooden houses or cottages there and Grayton.
Mother had saved $3000 during WWII. She got her allotment plus Daddy sent his entire pay check too. He made more money selling his cigarette ration than he could spend. They bought a 40 acre farm and a 2/3s completed house.
Made beautiful crops but Florida had no stock law back then and the hogs broke down fences and ruined most of it. He went to work at Tyndall and we moved to P.C.
Later got on at Eglin and we moved back home to DeFuniak Springs, where they bought another house and 35 acres but it was just for hiking and enjoying. Beautiful hardwood forest with several small creeks and even a couple of small waterfalls.
100% TEXAN and all you DAMN Yankees can stay out.
I'M AMERICAN.
34% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
Meh. So if you’re not a Dixie, you’re a Yankee?
With all of my Great Lakes & southern Wisconsin responses, there is no way I’m a Yankee. I’m a Cheesehead. And here in Bushville (baseball reference), no one should ever call us Germanic ancestry denizens of the upper Midwest a Yankee.
The quiz is wrong about “doodle bug.” The creature described (it’s a crustacean, not an insect) is called a “wood louse.” A “doodle bug” is an ant lion larva.
Basic test was 86% dixie. Advanced test was 34%. Probably from growing up in Maryland and spending 14 years as a soldier or civilian military trainer.
It said I was related to Robert E Lee. That’s something to be proud of!
I scored 83%.
Was asked if I still use Confederate money.
82% Do you still use Confederate money?
Sending the test to others.
Me too! 100% Dixie!
49% Dixie, barely in yankeedom.
I’ve lived in a few places around the country, so probably have some influences from all of them in my speech. In addition, some of the questions were not easy. For example, the only thing I would not call a tiny freshwater lobster is “mud bug”; the other three choices were pretty much equal.
At a Yankee zoo there is a sign with the animal's name in English and Latin.
At a Southern zoo there is a sign with the animal's name in English and a recipe.
