Yankee or Dixie ^

[JohnBDay]

45% (Yankee)

[fredhead]

78% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!

I'm shocked!!! I live in VA, originally from NC with roots in TN on my Mom's side, and only a 78%?

Shows you what 20 years in the Navy around all those Yankees did to me.

[Krodg]

53% dixie. I guess cause I'm from southern Ohio(O-hi-ya)

LOL...I was born and raised in southern Ohio and I have never heard anyone pronounce it like that. Where are you from?

My score...

89% (Dixie).

[cjshapi]

I'd weigh 800 lbs if I lived in the south. That tea is so hard to turn down. Good stuff.

And the pralines I had in Atlanta once were enough to make you cry. We don't get that stuff up here.

[Junior]

If it makes you feel better, I only scored a 71%. Seems travelling in my early life has had a lasting effect upon me.

[bk1000]

89% Dixie on the first try, y'all.

[headsonpikes]

I got 60% Dixie, and I'm a Canuck!

With a Northern Canadian accent. ;^)

And the pralines I had in Atlanta once were enough to make you cry.

That bad, huh?

[cjshapi]

Oh no. That good.

[ezo4]

I went back again and took it again choosing even more eastern and northern phrases on some and I got 39%. Strange.

The first time most all of them were dead on where I grew up. Wisconsin Great Lakes region

I also noticed that they apparently only have drive through liquor stores in the south. :o)

[fredhead]

Got you beat. 10th generation North Carolinian. Family's been in Carteret County since the 1720's.

Sadly, I now live in VA.

"Yeh're a wicked bad drivah"

Now is "wicked " only used as an adjective in New England?

[spodefly]

81% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

Yep. All of 'em.

[kitkat]

I got 53% Dixie which is interesting because I'm born and raised in Western New York. Now if they'd asked about roof, milk, greasy or wafffle, we might have gotten different scores.

[AnAmericanMother]

NOW what, I say WHAT is goin' on hyah?

I'm barely over 50 percent . . . and my last Yankee ancestor moved south in 1820. I've got more Confederate ancestors than Carter has little liver pills . . .

[Rytwyng]

This test is inaccurate.

10 of my responses were not regionally specific
6 were decidedly northern (Great Lakes, Northeast, Penns., etc)
Only 4 were distictly Southern.

Yet it called me 61% Dixie. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

[UPcrawfish]

81% Dixie...

Been in Nebraska too long - affected my score negatively..

[trisham]

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

[jocon307]

"Mischief Night was like Christmas when I was a kid..."

Interestingly a NY/NJ phrase!

[NavyCanDo]

Yahoo! 61% Dixie. Not bad for a guy born in Western Washington. But 2 generations back my family was 100% Arkansas country boys. Some of it must still be in my blood.
