Take this test and find out:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

1. 34% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.

Ain't that the truth!

[Walt Starr]

2. It's bogus

It gave me a 58% or barely Dixie. I am appalled. As far as I'm concerned, the War of Southern Treason will live on being called that so long as I draw breath.

I'm a damn Yankee, regardless of what a web application has to say.

[eissa]

5. Yeah, I was mad too

I got 53% and was shocked! It's all those damn repukes I'm surrounded with -- they done messed with tha way I talk!

[Rockholm]

8. A Different Tack...

I have not taken the quiz yet, however. I was born and raised in Charleston, SC and have lived in Boston for 18 years. My motto....Southerner by Birth, Yankee by Choice. Oh, and it was The War of Northern Agression.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

10. War of Southern Treason is more like it!

;-)

[Jawja]

14. Flame Bait! Flame Bait! Flame Bait!

That's okay RationalRose, I happen to agree with you. (my Father is rolling in his grave right now over that admission)



:toast:

[Rockholm]

12. OK, I took the test...

83% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors? That was the result. And yes, I do have many Confederate ancestors and many Yankee ancestors.

[patricia92243]

3. 75% Southern - I'm really 100% southern. Fun test.

[Reverend_Smitty]

4. 38%

38%...definately a Yankee!!! So true, Jersey born and bred

[aintitfunny]

6. 76% Dixie

Y'all

[leyton]

29. 76% (Dixie).

Despite my drinking soda and taking the route (like clout) to school.

Wow, I never even thought about these differences! The only ones that I had ever thought of were soda (vs. pop) and the various forms of y'all.

[YNGW]

7. Dixie??

The proper term is either "Southerner" or "Rebel".

100% from the South, BTW.

[kayell]

9. 65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

Not surprising

[guitar man]

11. 62% Dixie

I'm a transplant from the deep South to Oklahoma.

[peacebuzzard]

38. 64% Dixie. Definitive southern....

After 15 years I still just got here.:shrug:

[Jawja]

13. 92% DIXIE!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

(The other 8% probably comes from my Early American ancestors from New York and Delaware.)

[Kazak]

15. YeeHaw!!!!

94% dixie.

[wellstone_democrat]

16. Good Lord!

a few "southern" and "westernisms" have crept into my vocabulary over the years out of NE---I'm barely a Yankee.

This is very distressing. After all, I'm not only born Yankee but my ancestors invented the "Yankee" in 1620.

Crazy internet crap: Born Yankee, will die Yankee.

[Philosophy]

17. 60% Dixie

Pretty accurate, as I was born in the Midwest and have lived about half my life in the South now.

[Shopaholic]

19. Definitive Dixie?

I only got 61% and other than 3 years in North Carolina, I've lived my entire life in South Carolina. How is that possible? Must be the influence of those damned yankees. . . God bless 'em!

[hatrack]

18. 49% - Barely a Yankee

However, I will defend the use of "Y'all" to the bitter end!!!

[hatrack]

20. And, on a totally unrelated note . . . .

That makes 5000 POSTS, Y'ALL!!! YEE-HAH!!!

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

21. 55% Dixie...and yeah I agree with that.

I'm a native of Chicago, but spent my Jr high, high school, & college years in Kentucky...so, yeah half & half is about right.

[stinkeefresh]

22. what crap!

How could I, who was born in New Hampshire, grew up in Maine, went to school in Mass and has only even BEEN to the south a few times be considered 100% Dixie?

I had two answers that were "slightly" biased toward the south and three that were heavily biased toward New England. This thing computes like my cat! I call 'em sneakers! I call it a bubbler for god's sake!

And why the hell wasn't there the appropriate answer for addressing a group: "you".

Grrr.

[wellstone_democrat]

26. ya, what he said

see mine above-=----by the way, the only word for a road near a highway I ever heard was "frontage road" which apparently isn't a NH word but southern and western (huh?). Someone better go up to Laconia and tell my grandma.

[mlawson]

23. 74% Dixie. Surprised it wasn't much higher.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

24. 39% - Definite Yankee

Not surprised born, raised and still living in the southwest suburbs of Chicago.

[x-g.o.p.er]

25. 66% Dixie, but I was born in MN??

Of course, I've lived in the South most of my adult life, but I still consider myself a Minnesotan, donchaknow.

Uff Da!!

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

27. "74% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!"

I grew up in Maryland, technically south of the Mason Dixon line, so I guess it makes sense...

[Fla_Democrat]

28. 71% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!

Could be better. :evilgrin:

[drdigi420]

30. im an Atlanta native yankee

that war was over before I was born, although some rednecks outside the city dont necessarily agree

[muffin_man]

31. 83% Dixie

Born and raised in Alabama and Georgia so what do ya expect? Interesting side note I do customer service for a credit card and most northern callers are surprised when I tell them I'm in the deep south. Evidently I have no accent cept for the ya'll thing.

[amazona]

32. 86 percent Dixie

And yes I may have had a Confederate ancestor or two!!! Or Twelve!!!

[Bunny]

33. I'm 63% Dixie?????

That's a hoot, seeing as how I've never spent much time in Dixie, other than the occasional week here and there at the shore.

I DO love grits tho', so maybe there's something to this after all. Hmmmm......

[dusty64]

34. 40% Yank.

Not surprising since I've lived in CNY my whole life.

[union_maid]

35. 50%, barely a Yankee

Must be because I'm a Mets fan. I've lived in the NY metro area all my life and the only trips I've made south of the Mason-Dixon line have been to relatives in Florida...the parts of Florida that are like Long Island with palm trees.

[ixion]

36. 50% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

n/t

[Ripley]

37. Yes, let this Progressive site hate Dixie by poll!!!

Let us encourage the hatred of a huge geographical area...

Way to go.

[notadmblnd]

39. I didn't know Michiganians wern't

considered yankees.:shrug:

[starroute]

40. Makes no sense at all -- says I'm 63% Dixie

I'm a pure New York City girl, who's never lived anywhere south of eastern Pennsylvania. And when I look at the test on an answer by answer basis, most of them are scored as either northeast or nationwide. Did it mark me as southern just because I say pa-jah-mas? Weird.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

43. New Englanders say Pa-JAAH-mas too

I think the test isn't accurate.

[pfitz59]

41. 86% Dixie.....

All those %#@*&! years in FL!

[justjones]

42. OMG: 58% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

WTF! I grew up in California....must be my Southern roots:).

[area51]
