How dixie/yankee are you?

60% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

Well, I do live in Virginia so that’s not really a surprise.

Yes! YESSS! You can take the girl outta Jersey, but ya can’t take the Jersey outta the girl.

“57% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.”

Thank you, jesleigh…that was one of the best quizzes I’ve taken in a while!

60% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

67% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

Which is interesting, since only about three of the answers were considered southern at all. And I lived in the south (Georgia and Florida) for a good part of my formative years. Most of them it told me the terms I used were from places I’ve never lived or often even been to. And I often thought more than one answer was correct (ex: pillbug, sowbug, rolypoly and potato bug would all be equal for me).

Must be all of that television watching.

I’ve spent the last (until last week) 20+ years living south of the Mason Dixon line, it’s true.

But my strongest word choice influence is Los Angeles (I still call people ‘dude’ and girls ‘babes’ for example) with some Chicago thrown in. Odd.

47% Yankee. A Canadian who lives South of the Mason-Dixon line. Weird.

49% Yankee. I was born and raised in New York and most of my answers are apparently from the midwest. Or from Maine.

I am so embarrassed that I scored only a 46% yankee, as I lived in NJ for 22 years. (I’ve been in bits of the midwest for 8 years, so I blame that.)

However, I think this test is rigged as there was NO CORRECT CHOICE for the name of the night before Halloween. Everyone knows it’s GOOSEY NIGHT.

58% Dixie (barely into Dixie category). Odd, since I spent my first 37 years in Ontario, Canada… I have never said “You all” or any variation thereof in describing a group of people. Just ‘you’ or ‘you guys’ or ‘you folks’.

65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

My five years around New Orleans must have been a big influence.

49% Yankee. I’ve traveled a bit, but I’ve never lived outside Indiana for more than a week at a time. I knew folks who said y’all, booosh, warsh, and crick, but I was scolded if I talked that way.

39% Yankee. Lived in Minnesota all 26 years of my life.
Damn it, I knew I shouldn’t have spent that week in Florida.
Hey, you guys want a pop?

I’m Irish and it gave me a score of 61% dixie - hmmm - I don’t know what that sinifies…
:slight_smile:

or signifies

d’oh

Isn’t that interesting? I lived in NJ for 27 years and don’t remember ever hearing that term. Perhaps it’s a Regionalism…

Kewlness. :cool:

“38% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.” Phew. Living in Southern California hasn’t ruined me yet.

I’ll have a soda with my grinder 'cause I can’t find a bubbler (pronounced bubblah, of course).

52% Dixie. Makes sense seeing as I’m English.

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

I’m surprised I wasn’t more “Yankee” than this. I’ve lived in Idaho all my life and I was pretty certain that I’d have been farther into the “Yankee” scale.

65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

Born and raised in southeast Kansas. It’s pretty rural and hick-ish so I’m not surprised.

44% Yankee (“barely into the Yankee category” even though I was born in Ohio and now live in Indiana). Then again, I did attend college in Virginia, and picked up pronouncing “aunt” to rhyme with “font” from my mother, whose parents were from Baltimore.
