Yankee or Dixie?

[QueenScoopalot]

Hmmm..there was no option listed for what I call this stuff LOL!
16. What is that bubbly carbonated drink called?
Soda
Coke
Pop
Soft drink
I call it "tonic". I demand a new test lol! And 75% Dixie?? I've been a Yankee all my life! I think ya'll need a new test.

[Samantha Puppy]

70% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

LOL!! I took the test too!! Being from Belgium, I got this score:

69% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

LOL!! We lived in St.Louis fro 2 years. That is NOT southern, is it

[jennifert9]

41% Yankee. I too am suprised it isn't higher since I've lived my whole life in the Northeast and have only been south of the Mason-Dixon line 3 or 4 times.

[lbaker]

63% Dixie, a definative Southern score. I'm from the mid-Atlantic but south of the Mason-Dixon line so I guess that's appropriate. I certainly enjoy southern cooking better than northern fare, that's for dern sure

[sirrahbed]

66% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

This is probably true for me - but aren't there alot of Dixie's here that are not Dixie's??

Ya'll jump out of yor pajawmas that you bought at the yard sale, throw some cokes and car-a-mels in a sack, get a drink from the drinking fountain and come with me to the crik to catch crawdads and roly-poly's! I know you were up late papering Maggie Sue's house but y'all comeon anyway!

[catcrazylady]

Oh my heavens!
I was 86% Dixie!



I reckon I better go get my teeth pulled and start lookin for that spitoon!
Of course my grandpa just used an old peach can for spittin!

[ramanth]

52% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

I've lived in Michigan all my life! *laughs* Must be all the vacations taken down south.

Devil's Night.... Thanks Detroit!

It's very biased toward certain things. I'm frankly about 100% Yankee, born, raised, lived my whole life in Massachusetts, ancestors on the Mayflower, ancestors in every conflict from the American Revolution forward.

Here are the test "text" answers:

Clearly Massachusetts, SE Maine, or Rhode Island
Most common around the Great Lakes and into the northeast U.S.
Common throughout the entire United States
Southeastern United States
Centered on Chicago and the Great Lakes region south to Tennessee
Common nearly everywhere
Common nearly everywhere ("you guys" favors northern) - I'd just use You, but that was not an option, neither was "you guys" which I would have chosen second
All of U.S.; slightly favors the southeast
Common throughout entire U.S.
This is a universal generic term used nationwide
Very strongly biased toward the Northeast United States
New England and western Great Lakes
Used nationwide, especially in urban areas (Actually, I'd call it an on-ramp)
Used nationwide and in southern urban areas
Heavy bias in southern Wisconsin and Massachusetts
Used heavily in northeast US and California
Used heavily in Great Lakes and Midwest region
This is common throughout most of the U.S.
Dont worry, this is a common response.
Great Lakes and Intermountain West

And yet it told me I was 49% - "just barely Yankee!"

[Edwina's Secretary]

44%.... a Yankee....(I should hope so!)

[lbaker]

I'm wondering if perhaps the fact that some PT'ers travel quite a bit (Karen, Sara etc) their answers could reflect that, and perhaps are not as "Yankee" (in their case) as someone who rarely leaves their hometown? Just a thought - and it is all in fun anyway. I love regional dialects and hope they never get truly "homogenized"

[catnapper]

58% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

I have never stepped foot in the south, so why am I even barely into the Dixie category?

[lizbud]

49% Yankee.


p.s. Didn't know what to answer on the bug question. Never
heard of it before.

[Pit Chick]

100% Dixie

I don't really talk like a southern hillbilly though, y'all.
