[Cincy'sMom]

I've lived in OH all my life ( Except 6 months in Az), yet I'm 53% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category. Too many trips to Florida and too many years in Cincinnati, I guess :D

LOL... my husband and I are having a serious debate over whether they are "roly poly" or "potatoe bugs" - I'm gonna call my mom and have her tell him I'm right!:D

Also, I scored much lower Yankee than he did, and he's lived in the south and from a very historical southern family!!!

[catland]

49% Yankee... I've lived here in the Pacific NW my whole life. What I found interesting was that a lot of my answers had a mid-west origin. My parents are both from the mid-west so that might be some of the influence.

Fun quiz - thanks.:)

[amoore]

Richard, why did I know yours would come out funny?:confused: :D

[Kater]

OMG, Bubbler! LOL!

[dukedogsmom]

73% Dixie Yeehaw!

[ParNone]

70% Dixie. I would have thought it would be higher. Guess too much time spent in a big city.

I noticed on the sandwich question, they didn't have what I'd really say. The choices were Sub, Hoagie, Grinder and Hero. I picked Sub, but what I'd normally say would be Po'Boy.

Here's a couple that me and a northern friend usually debate over:

For being scared, she says Beejeebers and I say Bahjabbers.

For a near location reference, she says Kitty Corner and I say Katty Corner (although it sounds more like Kaddy Corner, with my accent).

Par...

[ParNone]

Oh forgot to add the most telling Texas phrase:

Fixing to vs "just about" or "going to".

Example:

I'm fixing to make breakfast.

vs

I'm just about to make breakfast.


Par...
