[shymonster]

81% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?

Not surprising at all for originally being from 'Bama.

 

[Trev.]

14% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

Not surprising, considering I spent most of my life out of the US. There and Georgia. yay.

 

[cdnboy87]

30% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

 

[sexycobra]

37% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

I don't know how meaningful that is, considering that English is not my first language, but whatever... I have to admit that several expressions were unknown to me, I chose the formulation that I felt was more idiomatic to my ear.

[prepstudinsc]

Prep and I have been "cawt" cheatin off one 'nother...we both scored 86% Dixie. Yee hawww.

As to using Conferderate money, one of my grandparents has a few bills that have been handed down over time. They still have their marbles so they've not gone out trying to spend it...yet.

Congrats Brainzz...that's why we get along so well!

Watch it, I resemble that remark :tongue: Living in SC and working in NC provides an interesting blend of expressions. I was recently in Georgia for a recital and was hosted by some native North Carolinians. They said a typical NC phrase and I knew exactly what they meant. The people from Georgia didn't know what they meant. Even here, the 20 miles across the border means differing expressions and a different accent.

 

[hung9mike]

52% Dixie. Barely in Dixie. Which sounds about right for someone living in South Florida. :tongue:

HA! nothing against the south - after living in NYC all my life i've grown to appreciate it. i also go south every summer for recreation, as it were. you're right about the differing "expressions and accents" amongst the south as a whole. although that's not so bad, because when i travel south they never know what the heck i'm talking about and dismiss my 'northern accent' as undecipherable and unlearned. :biggrin1::tongue:

53% Dixie. Barely in Dixie. Well, I try.

So, do you sing "Yank My Doodle, It's a Dandy"? Sorry, just couldn't resist!

 

[Love-it]

21% Dixie. Staunch Yankee, even if we moved to California in 1953 when I was 4 years old.

For years I couldn't figure out why we were so different, it wasn't until a girl from New England enrolled in my high school and we got together and compared notes that I realized that we "weren't California normal".

Here is my theory on why native Californians in particular are so different: when the west was being "won"; criminals, lawyers, wacko's and other anti-social elements went west, and reproduced.

28% Dixie. Hmm--you think having lived 7 years in the south I would have been a greater percentage. I guess I best be fixin' ta get ma shotgun and ma old truck, the one with the biggun's
