Yankee or Dixie? Test

[duaneparks]

100% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?



Wha? Although I was born in TX, grew up in TN, then moved back to TX as fast as I could, I also lived in Indiana and Ohio for about a year each in there somewhere.



Guess I kept my good ol' Southern raising intact.



Or, 'purt near anyway.

I got a 91, and I guess duane is my long lost brother, because Gen. Lee is apparently my dad as well!

 

[NPloysa]

48% barely a yankee. I grew up just south of the Quad Cities on the Iowa/Illinois border. Now I am in Colorado and things are not that much different, i. e: pronunciation and terminology.

 

[jrandol]

58% Southern. And ya'll thought I was a yankee!!

 

[klenger]

I've got our whole family (and it's a bunch of us acorss the country) taking the test. Kind of fun and keeps us in touch with each other.

 

[JPope]

49%, but I have lived all over the country.

Quote from the test " Be aware that television entertainment has a lot of northern dialect in it. This will have more of an influence on you than you expect. "



Guess when we lost the Dukes of Hazzard it slewed the reuslts!!!!

Dem duke boys are Just some good'ole boys from "LONGISLAND"

 

[Rebel_Horseman]

77% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!



As if there was any doubt.

[Doc Tinker]

43% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category





Most of my responses were common for most of the country. If I'm so common, why do all my friends know it's me when I call, before I can tell them who's calling?

Some of ya'll think that being Southern is a bad thing. Gentlemen, that is in fact a distinct honor. Study your history and you may think differently despite what the media has to say about it. ;-)

UH Make that study the real history and not what the (public)government schools put out. The old adage of ( To the victor go the spoils) is in effect here. They wrote the government funded schools the history they wanted taught and not what was always the truth.

UUHhhh 49%, barely yankee? I was raised in southern Iowa, you know lapland, were Missouri(pronounced Missoura) gently laps into Iowa in places. For the last 9 years my truck has been wearing a confederate flag on the front of it. I had a guy in a Minnesota steak house ask me if I was from the south, then if I was member of the KKK!? All because I had a western scene and confederate flag on the back of my shirt! Then he informed me that "you guys" lost the war. I didn't recall figting one. When in tech school in NE Iowa, everybody new I wasn't from around there, just by my accent.



I'm not too sure that actually works, or else its time for me to road trip south again!



Yea I have a rebel flag on the front of my truck, not uncommon were I'm from. I do not support slavery, but like harley's and Jeep's, dual CB antennas, straight pipes, and mud tires.

Its a redneck thing, if i have to explain you wouldn't understand.

58% Dixe, left Wales at age 14, moved to England, lived mainly among the English for 14 years, 1 year Penna. 48 years Northen California, in Wales, strangers say I have a Canadian accent. In general in the USA, women ask what accent I have, thinks it's Irish or Scots, it is Celtic so at least they are part right, also say it sounds great. Of English accents, one can travel 12 miles from home in England and have trouble understanding a stranger. Scrum Down

 

[Paul Herioux]

46%-Barely a Yankee. Must be the time I spent in SC, TX and MO for military training. That and the wife's aunts from TX and SC.

Of course I am from the U. P. and all of those trolls in down state Michigan call us Yoopers rednecks. Must be for a reason.



Later,

Paul

 

[hmartin]

59% Dixie Must be my dislike for all the city folks that come down in our parts to go floatin' on the river. I be the one that be playing the banjo on the bluffs above!

 

[Texas Diesel]

egads, I scored 71% Dixie. Must be why I feel right at home and cant figure out why anyone would want to live north of Dallas

 

[strick]

89% Dixie! Yee- Haw! Did you have any Confederate ancestors? Shore as shootin!

 

[RamThatStroker]

48% Yankee. I've grown up and lived all my life in Colorado. I guess since we're in the middle of the states we get a combination of both yankee and dixie
