3. Well, I'll just accept the quiz isn't made for me if you can find somethin

which o'course rules out the s-laight porssibility thet them done tusts ware rigd.

Like my American impression?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. Doesn't sound like an American around me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York-New_Jersey_English

It's less of a noticeable accent for most people around me because I live in the suburbs. However, when I lived directly across the Hudson from New York, anyone who could speak English sounded like the wikipedia article. I have more of the "accent" than the kids I went to HS with.

[Deep13]

9. ah-nt, like it's spelled.

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. 97% Dixie...?

Something didn't compute there. :hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. Well, it was pretty accurate for me.

I don't even go to south Jersey.

[Book Lover]

46. Ha!

:rofl:

I know whereof you speak - I grew up with people in Queens who thought going to Brooklyn was like going to a foreign land. I myself have only been on Staten Island once in my life... Some native New Yorker!

[shugah]

20. "devil's night" ought to be a qualifier

if someone calls the night before halloween "devil's night," not only are they not dixie, they are from michigan. 100% chance.

[In_The_Wind]

7. 100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

Y'all just gotta love me like I am.

[KatyMan]

22. me too

born in Philly, raised in Houston, never thought of myself as a Southerner, tho. Guess you is what you is...

[GumboYaYa]

43. WoooHoo, me too....

You can take the boy out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the boy.

[Deep13]

8. 15%, Duke of Yankeedom

Wicked good! I'll go tell my ahnt as soon as I'm done with my grindah and tonic.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. Wicked good?

Boston, huh?

[Deep13]

12. Wuss-tah, actually. Close though. About an hour away...

...on the Pike or on root 9. It's been awhile since I've been back there, so don't ask me how many Dunkin Donuts there are on the way.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. I'm from Hudson County, NJ so I'm more likely to

address a group of 100 women by saying, "Hey you guys!" I've never used the word "wicked" in reference to "cool" unless I was mocking somebody.

[nickinSTL]

11. 36% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

I'm kind of surprised it's that much southern. Here in St. Louis is the furthest south I've ever lived - and I've only been here for about 8 years. :shrug:

Most of my answers also seemed to match either the northeast or the Great Lakes area. Kind of weird how many northeast answers I had...considering I've never even BEEN to the northeast.

[johnnie]

13. I'm a Yankel

Are you a mod or a rocker?
I'm a mocker.
Beatles ref.

[auntAgonist]

15. Born and raised in Scotland yet 41% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

:shrug:
41% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom. (?)

[ChickMagic]

16. 81% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?

Okay - I deserve that. At least 9 generations in Texas.
What can I say, except, "Yee-haw!"

[SacredCow]

18. 87% for me...

Generation after generation in Louisiana

[ChickMagic]

19. Well tie me up and throw me in a holler!

I *know* you know what that means...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

21. I'm a Yankee. What the hell does that mean? nt

[ChickMagic]

23. It means

"You could knock me over with a feather". Literally, it means you can tie
me up and throw me into a dry creek bed.

[SacredCow]

28. Oh, I've heard it said before....

But I was surprised at getting 87%! My mannerisms and speech really don't advertise my southern heritage (not that I try to hide it or anything- I'm still a loyal Southerner!

[lildreamer316]

17. 92% Dixie. Read on:

"Was General Lee your grandfather?"
Well, actually, my grandmother's maiden name WAS Lee. You never know. AND they were from southern NC/Northern SC.

[dysfunctional press]

25. i was at a new year's eve party at Robert E Lee IV's house...

the nicest anti-bellum plantation house in lake barrington illinois...back in 1979(?)
I had worked with his daughter(miss torie) at santa's village...in retrospect, it could have been a fairly "historic" meeting, seeing as i'm a direct descendent of Sam Houston...

bob lee was definitely stuck in the past...it was funny seeing him address our small group of 19-20 year-old stoners- "...will you gentlemen be drinking bourbon, or scotch...?"(said with a heavy drawl)
"...miss torie will get you some ice.."

much later, as we were leaving- we were relieving ourselves near the kennels, when the hunting hounds made the HUGE mistake of coming up to the chain-link fence to bark at the line of drunken young men relieving their bladders on the other side of said fence...i'll let you figure out what happened...:evilgrin:

[lildreamer316]

47. LOL!!

TOO funny!

[NashVegas]

24. 49% Dixie

In another 12 years of living in the South, who knows?

[Mutley]

26. 45% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

I had 45% Yankee on one of these things a few days ago. :silly:

[Pirate Smile]

27. "40% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee."

[NewWaveChick1981]

29. Uh-oh...70% Dixie...

I guess that comes from 1) living in the Southeast my entire life; 2) being married to a North Carolina native; and 3) having a mother who grew up in South Carolina. Oh, well... :P

[slide to the left]

30. 55% dixie

That is dead on considering i am from the metroplex. My mom grew up here, but daddy is from colorado. Most of the family lives in Arkansas and my best friends were yanks (anything north of the red river) so I say pop. If it said I was a yank I would have cried.

[tonekat]

31. 31% Dixie, it's from my spouse's family.

Must have picked that 31% up from exposure to them, but I fight it all the time, being a NYer. (heck, my family wasn't even here yet during the Civil War, that's the only reason they allowed me to marry her).

[CottonBear]

32. 99% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

Well, I am a born and bred Southerner so my score makes sense to me!

[jobycom]

33. Only 91% Dixie??? What a gyp!! And for the record

Po-boys are NOT made with cold cuts!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

35. The only po-boys I've had were made with either...

catfish or soft-shell crab.

[jobycom]

36. Hot meats, all of them. Roast beef, shrimp, oysters, catfish, mostly

Cold cut sandwiches are not po-boys. And if I had chosen po-boys, I would have had a much better rating. The pollster sucks!!! :mad:

[Downtown Hound]

34. Hmm, 52% Dixie, yet I'm a native midwesterner

an East Coaster, and Californian. Never lived in the south at all. I have to seriously question this test.

[deadparrot]

37. 48% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom. nt

[Lady Effingbroke]

38. 100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

13. What's that road along an Interstate highway?

* Frontage road
* Service road
* Access road
* Feeder
RESULT:Local use in Houston and eastern Great Lakes.

I live in Houston - this is what I've always heard it called here.

[u4ic]
