LOL!! Says I'm still spending Confederate money

[Johnrudy]

I'm a rebel and my husband is a yankee, just as I suspected.

[Mermaid]

Ten years of living in the South have done me in! My East Coast parents would cringe: I'm only 48% Yankee now. barely Yankeeeeeee!

Sounds like you turning into a Dam Yankee

[Ocean Lover]

That was too funny...it says I'm 44% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category. ( That's because I'm a southerner at heart. )

[Suncat]

84% rebel----Well, I'll be durned---Yee-Haw!!

[Beach Crazy]

It wants to know if General Lee is my grandfather!!!!!!!

[peapod1980]

I, on the other hand, would make my Southern parents proud. A lifetime in the Midwest has only managed to convert me to 45% Yankee!

[Cil]

Wow, that was fascinating. I am 40% Yankee. "Definitely Yankee."
I remember when I moved to New York from California (at age 8) "youse" and "soda" were not in my vocabulary. Yet.
Then we moved to Colorado and it changed all over again.

[Jdarg]

jdarg- 88% Dixie
bdarg- 71% Dixie

Y'all- that was fun!

[kathydwells]

62% Rebel....but in my heart I am 100% Rebel.

[Miss Kitty]

Well, I'll be darned...80% Dixie! I really though I'd be stuck in limbo on the M-D! I think it was the rolling the houses that put me over!!! Thanks for the test RO! I bet my kids will be yankees....dam* private school education!!!!
Bye Y'all!!!

[RiverOtter]

62% Rebel....but in my heart I am 100% Rebel.

KDW... You must not have answered the questions honestly. I just know YOU living in Lacey Springs would test at 100% Rebel

[kathydwells]

KDW... You must not have answered the questions honestly. I just know YOU living in Lacey Springs would test at 100% Rebel

You know RO, I thought I would also. However, I have lived all over the place, including overseas for about 3 years, and I think some of the yankee rubbed off on me. I am still trying to shake the yankee in me.

[skippertoo]

89 % Dixie

[Sheila]

76% for me.

[Miss Kitty]

76% for me.

My neck is redder than your neck!!!!

sara82...75%

male spawn...66%

Whew...I was going to have to do an intervention if they were too high falootin'!!!!

[Sheila]

My neck is redder than your neck!!!!

I am confused about that myself! I think this test may not be right!

[Johnrudy]

Bye Y'all!!!

The rolling of houses and yards must definately be Southern lingo. I finally quit saying "rolling" up here in the north when everyone kept saying, "Ohhhh, you mean t.p.-ing a yard." Whatever!!

[CastlesOfSand]

Oops.... born and raised a Texan... not a Yank in my body! Although I have some dear friends and family that are yanks.... wouldn't trade em' in for nothing!

[Bob]

We have English Ivy taken from the Lee-Custis house in Arlington National Cemetery covering half our back yard, so my answers are voided automatically to rebel.

[ladybug8876]

68% Dixie Just under the mason dixon line. I 'm going to try this out on my Southern family and see if they really qualify as Dixie folks.

[Rita]

Funn one RO!

49% yankee (but there were some I could have had 2 answers for because we've lived so many places, we've picked up different sayings.) Never heard of "Rolling" until this year when I took the kids to TP a friend's house. They had me a bit concerned that someone was going to get hurt -- rolled.

[Beach Runner]

73% (Dixie). Your neck must be at least pink!

[RiverOtter]

Didn't think you'd score so high BR

[whiteyfunn]

86% Dixie. I knew it. Long live the South.

[iwishiwasthere]

64% rebel...but my husband thinks it is much higher than that.

[kurt]

63% (Dixie). Just under the Mason-Dixon Line

[Smiling JOe]

58% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line

[Teresa]

70% Dixie Red Neck Southern Wench!

they forgot to ask about the expressions: "y'ant some?", and "I'm fixing to...".

Actually I would have scored higher if they had given a choice of the pronunciation of “aunt” as “ain’t,” for example. And there was no choice of “Co-Cola” as the carbonated beverage we Southerners like to drink. This questionnaire was obviously written by a Yankee.

[seagrovelover]

I'm barely a yankee........................and I mean barely
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm is that good or bad????????

[Paula]

100% Yankee (born and raised in Massachusetts) with immigrant Polish and Italian roots (is that still Yankee?). But as soon as I stop wearing socks with my sandals in the winter when in SoWal I'll consider myself at least 25% rebel...

Yeah, my husband never goes barefoot; he puts on his shoes as soon as he gets out of bed, regardless of the season - he's a true Yankee. I despise wearing shoes, and only wear them in the house if we have guests, so I totally can't relate to socks with sandals. When my daughter was at MIT, she wore flip-flops even in below-zero weather; YAY, I RAISED HER AS A TRUE SOUTHERN GIRL!

[newyorker]

barely Yankee (49%), tho I was born in Vermont. Guess that all those years in Birmingham helped convert me. (Tho I must be one of the few here who grew up knowing about "cabbage night"--a real Vermont expression --my sister's birthday is on "cabbage night" and it was horrible for her growing up) My husband (39%--a "real Yankee" ) grew up in Boston, but he learned a few things in Bham. Funny thing is my colleagues at my college think of me as "very southern". I take that as a matter of pride.

[CastlesOfSand]

Ok I actually did the test this time... 74% dixie.

Cue the circus music.

[Beach Runner]

Cue the circus music.

Do what? It's Florida, not FSU.

[katie blue]

55% (Dixie). That's just about right, too!

[lindatat]

41% Yankee (just barely.) Guess that year I lived in Dallas affected me more than I ever knew.

[Miss Kitty]

Ha! Dallas will do that to ya'!!! Sorry I missed you that year!

LOVE your avatar!

GB is a Georgia girl. My dad used to laugh at her all the time for NOT wearing shoes. Said something about GA girls never could keep their shoes on.

Our daughters probably are southerners, then. We live in Michigan and they're still wearing their flip flops on some days...

You are so right about the barefoot/filp flop thing. I never wear shoes in the house either. I don't even like to wear socks - - I have to have totally "bare" feet. My husband (Yankee) ALWAYS has socks on, even in th summer. So weird to me. And I, too, push the sandles thing in my attire for as long as possible. When it's snowing out, then I change to closed toed shoes! My co-workers laugh at me!

[newyorker]

What is cabbage night???

The night before Halloween--people raid gardens (cabbage grows well in Vermont)--and throw cabbage, pumpkins and other garden refuse at passing cars and homes. [not a lot to do in Vermont, obviously!]
