I got "83% You still use Confederate money?"

[Subnuts]

18% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

[sonar732]

92% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

I spent a few years in NW Houston off of 1960 and Winfern road...Cypress Fairbanks school district for those who live there, and kept the lingo.

[STEED]

31% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

Make of that you can from a true Brit. :p

[Yahoshua]

For the initial test: 48% Dixie- Barely in Yankeedom.

For the Advanced test: 19% Dixie- Duke of Yankeedom.

[blue3golf]

53% Dixie. Barely in Dixie. Good thing for that, I don't want to be there anyway.:D

[yankee-V]

48% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom. Hmmm

[August]

<--- I don't need a test.

[Sailor Steve]

58% Dixie. Barely in Dixie.

Since I was born in Dallas, raised in L.A. and now live in Utah, that sounds about right.

[kiwi_2005]

41% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

[TteFAboB]

41% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

[bradclark1]

59% Dixie. Barely in Dixie

[Syxx_Killer]

36% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

[Wim Libaers]

30% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.

Not sure what that's supposed to mean for me, as I don't live in the US ;)

[tycho102]

All soda is "coke". Even if it's a Moutain Dew, it's called a "coke". Although when I'm around some real hicks (family reunions), I'll say "Slip me a Waco!"

"All Hallow's Eve" or "Hallow'een". Pick one. You can pronounce it "Halloween" as long as you know it's spelled "Hallow'een", and the "'een" stands for "evening".



74% Dixie. My neck is a bit rosy when I get out of the shower, but that's about it.

[nikimcbee]

That was cool.
30% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.

Go MN!:rock:

Wrong. Dr. Pepper is NOT coke and never will be.:p

"All Hallow's Eve" or "Hallow'een". Pick one. You can pronounce it "Halloween" as long as you know it's spelled "Hallow'een", and the "'een" stands for "evening".
Except "Hallows" is plural, so it's properly "All Hallows' Eve"

Also, it's "Hallowe'en", not "Hallow'een" (note the placement of the apostrophe).

Further, Webster's New International Dictionary says both spellings are proper, and lists "Halloween" first.

[lesrae]

22% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.

Scottish Yankee

[Kapitan_Phillips]

55% Dixie. Barely in Dixie

Damn straight!:yep:

[SUBMAN1]

36% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

[Ishmael]

66% Dixie. Mother's Family from Illinois by way of Vermont & Quebec. Father's family from the Raleigh-Durham area. He visited some of my distant cousins there in 1947. The way he characterized them was,

"You had to rope 'em out of trees to put shoes on 'em."

Fifty years later, I had to attend a Northern Telecom Fiber Terminal School in Raleigh. The first day of class, the instructor walks in, zeroes in on me and asks,

"Ain't I seen you somewhere before?"

I answered,

"Well, I've never been here before in my life. But you may have seen some of my distant cousins runnin' the ridges in their Tar Heels."

[SUBMAN1]

I took the advanced test. Not much changed - 40%.

[Camaero]

19% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

:yep: Yankee and proud of it.

[August]

0% Dixie. Need help digging out of the snow?

:smug:

[U-533]

100% Cornbread and Greens Dixie...:up:

Lee wasn't my Grandpappy but a cousin I believe...:hmm: ... I'll have to ask my mom.

I do have a hard lean towards Texas according to the test...:sunny:

On the Advanced test 100% Dixie again... thats right genuine for real southerner as if yall didn't know.

Number 6 on the advance test did worry me a bit cause "Hey yall" wasn't one of the choices.

Now I can sleep up a storm know my Dixieness is tested.

[joea]

[U-533]

55% Dixie. Barely in Dixie


Considering I'm English... :hmm:

I was read'in somwurs that the southern accent is strongly rooted to the various accents of the British empire.

[U-533]

Heard that as well, work with a lot of Brits and have some friends from the South (North Carolina and Arkansas) ...my brother in law is from Queens, NY and I have to say I agree with you.

[greyrider]

52% Dixie. Barely in Dixie


i think it was the answer for soda, that brought my score down, in MA,
we call it tonic, but i also call it soda too.

but i lived in the south for 22 months, Louzeeanna, georgia, and NC

[Torpedo Fodder]

35% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

Unsurprising. The variety of English spoken in Ontario is alot like "Yankee" english (minus the accent, of course ;)).

Your Yankeeness has been tainted i'm afraid. :D

BTW why do you bold your posts?

[fredbass]

I'm a transplant. (moved from North to South) :know:

By the way, when I was growing up in the midwest, Soda was referred to as "PoP". :yep: :)

Texas is now the Northern Republic of Mexico by the way.

[JSLTIGER]

BASIC: 36% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
ADVANCED: 13% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

Makes sense, grew up in Philly (1986-2003), and the family has since moved to Charlotte (2003-2006) and south Florida (2006- ).

[Skipbo]

62% Dixie - all family in south Louisiana, I'm in SOUTHERN Indiana though.

[azn_132]

45% Dixie, But Im from Caliway tho!
3% Dixie advenced, But Im in the Valley tho!

[Clover]

100% Dixie and yes I am a Great....Nephew of Robert E. Lee.

However, I consider myself as a
"Redneck with couth"

[Heibges]

I'm from Vermont.

We just plain hate everybody, North or South, who isn't from Vermont.

You're all a bunch of damn flatlanders.

[perisher]

The original test told me I was a Yankee. I do spend time in Minnesota most years.

Took the advanced test and it spotted that I am, in fact, English.

The big mystery to me is, what is grits?

[robbo180265]

When I did the quick test I got 53% Dixie. Barely in Dixie. And on the advanced test (and it did notice I was English too) 15% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

Some of the answers given were not what I would have chosen, so I just went for the nearest:D

[ASWnut101]

...what is grits?


:rotfl: :rotfl:

[Payoff]

All soda is "coke". Even if it's a Moutain Dew, it's called a "coke". Although when I'm around some real hicks (family reunions), I'll say "Slip me a Waco!"

"All Hallow's Eve" or "Hallow'een". Pick one. You can pronounce it "Halloween" as long as you know it's spelled "Hallow'een", and the "'een" stands for "evening".



74% Dixie. My neck is a bit rosy when I get out of the shower, but that's about it.

:rotfl:You are correct sir. Also you dont turn off a light switch, you "cut off the lights", and a garden hose is "a hosepipe." As for the test, well I aint a takin no dag'um ol test. I'm scart what that joker will tell about me.

[Nostromo]

58% Dixie. Barely in Dixie

Not bad, considering I'm an Imperial and I wasn't putting on an accent for it..

[Tchocky]

0% Dixie. Need help digging out of the snow?

Ah, another beautiful Massachusetts morning :)

[bookworm_020]

40% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

Glade I'm not! I'm an Austalian!:D Not the 52nd? state of America! (Isn't Canada the 51st:hmm:)

[Now takeing cover, so the Canadaians don't linch me, A!:lol:]

[Rilder]

44% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

Figured, tend to have alot of Redneck tendencies despite being a northerner.

[U-533]

I asked my mom about being related to Robert E. Lee.

Was he like a cousin or somthin?

She laughed and said

"No child... Your Great Great Grandma got knocked up on the river boat "Robert E. Lee"".

From there she proceeded to tell me of our sorted southern family history.

An epic block buster movie could be made. But it would offend some programed notions on the "War of Northern Aggression".aka "Civil war":smug:

:sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

[Oberon]

46% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom. On the Standard

And

28% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle. On the Advanced.

Looks like I'm on the Monitor then. :rock:

[dean_acheson]

For the initial test: 48% Dixie- Barely in Yankeedom.

For the Advanced test: 19% Dixie- Duke of Yankeedom.

Same here on the first one. Let me get this straight, grow up in rural SW Missouri, spend a few years in Tennessee, Virginia, and DC and somehow I end up talking like a Yankee? Egad!

[kurtz]

38% Dixie oddly enough I think I could probably make myself understood by the natives around the great lakes!:D

[Syxx_Killer]

I didn't know there was an advanced test. Here are my results for that one:

21% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.

[Rilder]

38% Dixie oddly enough I think I could probably make myself understood by the natives around the great lakes!:D

Go ahead and try, 'Sconsinite right here.:p
