Yankee or Dixie?

[ChrisWins]

I've also heard man evolved from monkey. Unless it's the southwest, I'm never movin' back to the south. Noooooooo thank you! Way too hot for me and I just don't fit in with southerners. Never again!

LOL....I dunno, I loved Alabama! And man, tv and movies sure gives Bama a bad name...people don't just walk around in overalls with no socks and shoes on chewing on wheat and saying "howdy ya'll". I loved Russellville which is where I lived. I also loved Tennesse where I visited quite often and wouldn't mind moving there someday.

LOL...it is hot...but it definitely beats being cold all the time, and sheesh i am freezing like crazy up in all this snow!

Im originally from Miami but lived in Tennessee for twenty-one years.

Nice...well since we're listing

LOL, and don't worry, you can have the "Yankiest of All" trophy award...I loved the south and hope to move back someday if that's where God leads me....they tend to say once you've been there you never want to leave.

I hear ya! I can't wait to move back, Lord willingly.
The food , the friendliness , the lifestyle (laidback). Fits me to a "T"

48% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

 

[Lizzi4Christ]

"41% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category."

Makes sense though. I live in NY, but I have 2 sets of aunts and uncles in the south.

 

[unimportantbuthisnameis]

65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!


I think that the futhering of my education has done away with my southern heritage , but still 65% from the South Carolina native .

 

[Crusading_Ostrich]

63% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score! ~ As others have mentioned, being from Canada, how do I end up Dixie? Interesting. A Canadian/American lingo quiz would be very interesting to say the least.

BTW: Is it really true that no one calls shoes they use in a gym running shoes? (no one besides me that is)

 

[Kaylynn]

ahh, technical term I guess would be Gym Shoes....I personally call 'em sneakers.

 

[RadicalJeeper]

87% dixie. Not bad, but most would say I'm dixie than that. I'm just a good ole country boy.

 

[Canuck4God]

--- 42% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. ---

Odd, I thought I'd score lower than that.... being Canadian and all, I didn't think I'd be almost close to a Southerner. Grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba and moved west to Calgary, Alberta, both areas are very similar in speech patterns, slang, etc. i.e. similar to Midwest/Great Plains states in the US (that is, the states most directly south of us.)

Speaking of which, I have this big pet peeve when people refer to someone having a 'Canadian' accent... the accent they usually refer to is those people who populate those areas of Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes closest to New England and the Great Lakes areas, to me, they tend to sound like a weird amalgam of Chicago, Boston and New York speech all rolled up into one, with a hint of the Queen's English. Generally, most of us Canadians west of Southern Ontario tend to sound, with a few exceptions, much like the "TV broadcaster/Hollywood actor" speech y'all** hear on CNN or when watching some sitcom, which I've heard referred to as Standard Midwestern, Californian, or General American. Again, slight exceptions occur within the regions too, pretty much like there isn't one defining Southern accent, and so on.

** Maybe I do have a little Dixie in me after all? J/K

I've been listening to some really good music tonight but now I need to thank you for giving me a really good laugh, too. NJ cold? HAAAAAAAA!!!!! That's a side-splitter and a half. No where in the Lower 48 is truly very cold.

Since the first of the year I have experienced Below Zero ° F once for about TWELVE STRAIGHT DAYS and another time for about 9 STRAIGHT. 52 days this year and about 40 of them have been below zero. One stretch the temperature didn't get higher than NEGATIVE 25 for about 5 days in a row... it bottomed out at -52°F.

Those extreme negatives are a little rough but tis much better to be bundled up inside with the heat on or bundled up outside nice and comfy in layers than have the a/c on so often and sweating just from standing still. To me there's nothing pleasant about a summer in the south... unless it's the NY Mets beating the Braves in Atlanta... now that's pleasant!

Hey-watch it there, buddy. Them there's fightin' words!

 

[Didge]

73% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score! I suppose I am really as southern as you can get... I was born pretty far south... Australia. jk

I'd say those are fightin' words! I'm a Georgia Gal!

 

[theophilus05]

68% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score! I thought it would be higher than that but I guess Im not as southern as I thought I was.

 

[Macrina]

Yankee or Dixie, take the quiz here

Just for fun, are y'all more yankee or more dixie? Don't know if this has showed up here before, but, it's still fun.

65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

76% I wouldn't have guessed that! I suppose six months in Mississippi must have affected me more than I thought...

Apparently, I'm more southern than you are 2Tim... ya think?

I took this quiz a few days ago. I was in the low 50's, barely a Dixie. They need to add a third option: Hollywood. We have our own mix here in SoCal. The funny part is that it really is a mix of the "Yankee" and "Dixie" styles, with some Spanish and other stuff thrown in.

Oh, and BTW, since spring training started this week, I am hereby declaring that I don't care whether the Mets or Braves win... as long as they both lose to the Dodgers.
