Dixie means Southern. Yankee means Northern. People in America tend to have what is called a Southern accent or a Northern accent.

73% Dixie Yeehaw!

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).

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.
