I'm originally from Pennsylvania but have obviously assimilated well in my over five decades south of the Mason-Dixon line. I thought for sure that "creek" would have tripped me up since I can't shake the old habit of calling it "crick". Likewise "iron" is still "arn" to me -- but that's also common in east Tennessee.
One Texas/Southern idiom that came natural to me is "fixin' to". Near the West Virginia border where I was raised, that was fairly common and I used it since childhood. Now, I'm fixin' to hit the post button.
94% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!
Texas isn’t quite southern.
I clocked a 35 percent Dixie.
So, there it is...
So scared taking this test! I want SO badly to be a real Texan now but wasn’t sure how I would fare!
I was happy enough with the basic test result:
70% Dixie.Well under the Mason-Dixon Line
(Could have been better, but OK, that’s OK.)
Getting at least that high encouraged me to take the more advance test where I then scored: 46% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.
Am I torn between the two or might I be a work in progress?
Thanks for the tag re_nortex!
