I'm only 85% Dixie???? I demand a recount :-)

[Severa]

78% Dixie. Born and raised in southeast KY, only other states I've lived in were TN, MO, and now VA.

[texasflower]

80% Dixie

[Hillarys nightmare]

81% Dixie!

It would have been a solid 100% had I not been infected with the Northern dialect, at the tender age of 19, by serving in the Navy for 4 years, with so many North Easterners. (LOL!)

That was a hoot! Thanks for the cheap thrill.

[exhaustedmomma]

93% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?

Heck, aunt= aint and tenny shoes are those things you wear on your feet in PE. Crawdad's = mudbugs. They didn't have the right choices or answers. If you ask for soda in the south, you're gonna end up with a dose out of the arm and hammer box.

[Non-Sequitur]

48%. Barely in the Yankee category. I'm sooooo embarassed.

[LonePalm]

Still got an 81% after 21 years in NJ.

[MetalHeadConservative35]

44 yank,and i got great lakes on nearly ALL of my answers

MICHGANDERS RULE!!!! lol :P

[rikkir]

84% y'all. Wife from KY got 55%. Best friend got 74% we've both lived in Charlotte our whole life. We can take it again if "yuonto". If you can pronounce that you don't need the test you are definately southern.
HeHe. I guess I'm "fixin" to catch some grief over that one.

[Melinda in TN]

YeeHaw! 100% Dixie; Is General Lee your father? I'm so proud I could pop!

[Hawkeye's Girl]

45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Which makes sense because I speak Minnesoootan.

[F16Fighter]

45% dialectic Damn Yankee.

[socal_parrot]

53% Dixie, probably because of the mixture of regional dialects from transplants here in So Cal.


Thanks Y'all.

I came out with 53percent Dixie accent....I grew up in Chicago, and lived there for the first 32 years of my life...but my dad was from the Pennsylvania-New Jersey area, and he retained his eastern accent, so I was raised hearing the Chicago accent and phrases from my Chicago born and bred mom, while also being influenced by dads eastern accent and phrases....

The 3rd question in that quiz really tickled me, because it asked about the word 'Creek'....I have always pronounced it to rhyme with 'kick', and it just drives my husband and son wild....they say I am wrong, because the way its spelled, you should pronounce it to rhyme with 'deep'....but every single one of my eastern relatives pronounced it to rhyme with 'kick', and the work creek was said often, as my old great grandmothers house was right next to a creek, so the word creek was used often....'Crick', is the way I will pronounce it till the day I die...

Now, after living in the midwest all those years, my hubby and I lived in North Carolina for 5 yrs....and I suppose my speech was influenced by living there...speaking southern, is just a lovely, easy way of speaking, at least to me...I guess the main phrases I have retained from my years in the south, are 'Y'all' for addressing a group, and 'Yonder', conveniently used to flinging my arm out, and indicating some other place....anyplace can be 'Over Yonder'....also 'Im a fixin', when I am getting ready to do something...

Today I live in the Pacific Northwest, and have been here for almost 20yrs...I have had folks tell me, that they cannot figure out where I am from, based on my accent, and use of phrases.....I guess I am just a mix of Midwest-Eastern-Southern, with Chicago being in a class all by itself, when it comes to accent and phrases...

A fun test to take....
