66% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!
Surprised the bejeebers out of me!
Chaunte
58% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
Hmmm, I was born in NYC and I currently live in NE... I guess 17 years living south of the Mason Dixon line had an effect on me. :laugh:
Z
71% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!
as it should be ^^
49% yankee
58% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
It's funny. I was born in the Pacific Northwest, Lived for many years in Michigan, and now I'm back in Oregon. Most of my answers said that they were common in the Great Lakes region.
Just a Southern Belle at Heart, Y'all.
Janet
48% yankee
But I noticed this test dosnt properly recalculate scores even when the exact same answers are given LoL...
48% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Kinda odd for someone who was raised in the South and then spent 18 more years there as an adult. But, always felt more comfortable around where I am now. Was always told when I did live in the South as an adult -- "Nichole, you sound and act like such a Yankee!"
Never was very good at the Southern Belle routine either. I was never so drunk when I went to someone's bed that I could claim virginity the following morning!! >:D
80% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!
Only 80%? Dang girl, you are slippin'. I mean I still stand up and clap when Scarlett shoots the Yankee soldier.
;)
Beverly
45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
My maternal grand parents and 3 generations prior were from the South. My mom was born in California but she was exposed to a lot of Southern dialect and passed some of it on to me it appears. :)
52% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

What surprised me is that I am a Northern girl! It's amazing what happens when you spend 5 months in Oklahoma...
Chaunte
Lynn, there was a note saying that if you make an error, you have to start over.
42% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Soooo.... what does this mean?

Neither. I'm a Westerner. If I had to choose between California and The Union, then I wish to be a California girl.

Me too! May the Bear Flag Republic rise again! :D
45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. The score must from being raised in Michigan for the 1st 15 years of my life.
Anna
83% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?
Sure had a lot of Great Lakes region answers, but isn't this score what you would expect from one raised in Oklahoma and living in Texas for 25 years?

65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!
48% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
lmao well i am from california :P
54% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
Born and raised in California where my parents were also born and raised... And one set of grandparents as well. But my dad's parents are from Texas and Oklahoma, so I guess that's where I got it. :P
Wish they'd done one for West too!
39% Hick! :D Just kidding. I'm a Yankee, I guess.
"73% Dixie. Your neck must be a just little rosy!"
34% Dixie......(66% Happy) :P
31% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
19% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!
Dang! I didn't ask to be born in ol' massachusetts! i wanna be dixie! =(
"4% Dixie. Need help digging out of the snow?" So i guess that makes me a yankee.

Im from Mass too dude, you got a lot more dixie than me lol
68% Dixie.Well under the Mason-Dixon Line
Psh, I'm from South Florida. If I was more southern, I'd be in the ocean.
Ohh you mean redneck? My years in Atlanta probably did that to me.
Strewth and Stone the Crows, I'm 63% Southern and I don't even live that side of the Pacific!!
Actually we call Crawdads Yabbies , and the bugs Slaters. so I could have been even more.
haha michaeljay, i guess that makes me feel a little better then =P
btw, where in mass are you from, if you dont mind my asking?
I took it a while ago. I got, like, 80% Yankee, if I recall correctly.
60% Dixie. Barely in Dixie
It was the "y'all" that did it, but my family in Illinois says "y'all" too and there's nothing southern in those roots. It was the only answer that had anything "southern" in the response. xD
31% Dixie, definitely a Yankee.
I guess the central Florida area is that way since I've never even heard some of the slang words used on that test :P
Well y'all just ain't gonna believe yo little pea pickin' hearts!
100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!
Sorry, nailed!
83% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?
Confederate money was actually quite beautiful. Each state commissioned artists to create different designs and so they came out charmingly local.
Southern gentleman here. I'm surprised it didn't ask how one pronounces New Orleans. That's my favorite to hear. My Chicagoan friend, who is down south for college, says "New Or-leans" like "leaning, all finely pronounced, and I laughed. "You mean Naulens?"
40% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
None of those questions made any sense. Why Washington isn't absorbed into BC I'll never know.
