Dixie or Yankee?

82% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?

I can't help it, I was born in Michigan but raised all over down South. Once had a kid overhear me talking to a group of friends at lunch. When I got up to throw something away, he came over and asked them what language I was speaking. Southern drawl packed into the speed of someone who learned to talk up North. I speak mah own language ya'll! 😉

52% Dixie. Barely in Dixie

I don't get 'down' from my 'truck', I get OUT of my CAR. And I say, 'excuse me/pardon me/huh instead of 'do what?'

Crazy southern fuckers!

99% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!


What can I say? I was born and bred in Texas. *sigh*

76% Dixie. Your neck must be a little pink!

I've lived in Texas for 21 years, and I only have a pink neck? I guess the 24% of brownness is keeping me from being completely hick. If accents indicate Dixieness, then I would be 100% Dixie.

46% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

Must be because I was born and grew up in Southern California :P

48% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

Well I was born and raised in South Jersey.

Seriously though, this just proves that geographic location is no boundary for defining people.

71% Dixie. Your neck must be a little pink!

Now go do the 2nd one...

16% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

53% Dixie. Barely in Dixie

and on the second test

84% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?

Funny thing is I was born and raised in northern Illinois hehe

WTF -- How do people in the area where you grew up pronounce oil?

AW-wee-yul
OH-wuhl
erl
all or awl

Oy l...I do not say Aw wee yul...in fact that sounds completely goofy.
I also do not say Oh wuhl, erl, all, or awl...Oi l -- Oy l... I don't know how to write it any better, but none of these fit :P

22% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

my mom says "ull" for oil, and "bub" for bulb"...

she's so southern.

43% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

i use TP and rolling interchangeably, not that i really ever talk about it. but everyone else in memphis calls it rolling.

i dont ever say "PAJAMAS" i call em PJs.

but most of the little boxes said "used everywhere in us".

and wtf they have drive through liquor stores??

21% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy. for the advanced..

yee haw !

*slinks out of lurk-dom*



Drive-through Daquiri shops FTW!! They're all over here in Louisiana.

*ducks back into the shadows*

Second test
39% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.


How can they not include the correct pronunciation for oil?

Oy-uhl or oyl.

Not to mention NOT getting the correct pronunciation of 'water' for the Delaware Valley. It should be "wood-er".

57% Dixie. Barely in Dixie

However in true Baltimore/DC fashion I hit all the ones for a southern urban area that I could have. Go figure. Hey I am just south of the Mason-Dixon line, so it must be geographically correct.

On the second test:

35% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

The funny part is both tests all my answers were slanted toward the West/Mid-West which is where my family is from. I am willing to bet if you look at your score, its more reflective of where your parents are from, and less from where you grew up. As our parents are the ones who teach how to speak.

I dunno Pros...my mom is a Hoosier, and grew up with 'criks' and and an 'ice box' and a 'warshing' machine...I don't use any of those words. Besides, last time I looked even Indiana was a northern state.

Dammit!

100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

In my defense, half of my family is from Arkansas and the other half from Oklahoma all transplanted into Texas...

28% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Why yes, yes I am. 🙂
