When I saw the subject line, I thought I was in the midst of a brawl with a poster here named Dixie! LOL

For what it's worth, it says I'm 49% Yankee.

But I'm actually 100% Yankee_in_CA!

55% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

I spent the first 24 years of my life in San Francisco and the past 26 years of my life in Minnesota. The Dixie part must come from hanging around y'all.

Ok I thought this would be an interesting test since I live in Mississippi by way of Atlanta but grew up mostly in Ohio.

However I am not surprised by the Canadians are getting a strong Dixie score as I have seen a strong French Canadian influence in this part of the south since I moved here

Granny I haven't seen one here so didn't know what they were called. In Ohio they were called Pony Kegs. You could either drive through them or pull up to them at the curb.

That is mostly a slang thing we call them. I don't know that there are signs that say that but there are a lot of Barns around here and lots of moonshine.

Twiggy that is to funny to me. For years I worshed my face, clothes, car whatever. I had to LEARN when I moved south that I washed everything. I also had to learn when I didn't understand what was being said to say "excuse me?" not "please?"
Oh this thread has been a great trip down memory lane for a gal that's dad also calles a sink a zink.

67% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

I've lived in SE Washington all my life. Very interesting.

RG and the 2002 gang! Have you taken this quiz yet? I am ROTFLMAO at the route-root question!

63% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!
This doesn't surprise me because I've lived in the south a little more than the north, and it was funny to see the answers as 'from the Great Lakes region' or 'exclusively Texas'! LOL

I'm 69% Dixie. I got a laugh at the What's that road along the interstate highway? I grew up in Houston and I've always called it the feeder and come to find out it's
"Local use in Houston and eastern Great Lakes"

I was a little surprised at caramel. I thought car-ml was the southern pronunciation. I was very surprised by cot and caught. Do a lot of people really pronounce those the same?

Jmm, cot rhymes with rot; caught has the same vowel sound as sauce (i.e., it has a dipthong)

48% Yankee....I'm sure it would have been higher, but I DO tend to address groups of people as y'all. That would be the small town central Illinois twang creeping in.

I about died when I saw you'ns/yins/yinz (however you spell it). It is a Western Pennsylvanian dialect and I'm always trying to break my students from using it when they teach. They also "red" their house here (this means to clean...maybe comes from rid???).

you know, I guess if you're miswestern, you aren't a Yankee. When I took it the first time, I was 44% Yankee. I say water fountain. But everyone around here calls it a bubbler which I cringe at. So I retook the test and pretended that I say bubbler. It pops up that this is a southern Wisc. and somewhere else thing and now I was only 41% Yankee.

So does that make southern Wisconsin a "Dixie" area? I would have never guessed!

Feeder cracked me up too, Az! I say cot/caught differently also. I did take some exception, they are doodle bugs and it's a beer barn! ;)
