43% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
As much as I get out, I'd have thought I'd rank a Yank well into the upper 90 percentile.

57% Dixie, but only because I don't say you'ns and I know how to properly pronounce "creek," unlike the rest of the hillbillies in my family. Regardless of language, I'm a northern grrl.

with me, the longer it's been since my older sis left the house for her hoity toity east coast college and the more I hang out with rednecks, the worse my language has become

I guess having two parents from Mississippi has influenced this born and raised in Pennsylvania boy.
I'm going to go eat my Hoagie now.

Great Lakes area is it's own seperate country. Neither Dixie nor Yank. I would expect most GL area people to score near the middle.

Holy cow, y'all. 80% Dixie -- and I've still got that nasty accent from Buffalo, NY. But all my schooling (no jokes, now ;) ) was in VA. So there ya' go. Time for a Dr. Pepper and a moon pie.
71% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!
I suppose I really do need to move south to Florida now. :cool:

You ain't from Dixie. Any 'neck knows that you don't drink Dr. Pepper with a Moon Pie. You're only supposed to drink RC Cola with a Moon Pie.
:D
..MMMMM.... RC cola! ... mmmm.... :cool:

yeah, I remember RC, but in our hick holler it was DP all the way.
d'jya ever have that combo? Talk about a huge sugar rush. I think my mom woulda sued anyone who thought we should have such a treat -- that was after we spent a summer lunching on them from Apple Acres -- along with Atomic Fireballs. :laugh:
And then there were the banana-flavored moon pies. Or Frosties -- carbonated chocolate drinks. GAACK! There is a lot of Suth'n foodstuffs that I never got into -- grits, greens, pork rinds....
44% (Yankee), but that's definitely due to my Great Lakes upbringing rather than living in the south. I still have a good solid Cleveland accent despite living in North Carolina for the last 23 years.

There is no such thing as a "Cleveland accent", duh.
I'm 48% Yank. "Y'all" really killed my score.
and it's a "feeder" road in Houston only apparently :laugh:

Well at least Warlock and I have something in common. :laugh:
46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
I guess spending a decade in the midwest really dilutes the New York roots.
If there was a better word to use in place of "y'all" I'd use it.

Everybody has an accent. You just don't notice yours. Tell a Brit or an Aussie you don't have an accent and they'll laugh at you.

63% Dixie, a strong Southern score. Not really surprised, since my home town was once mentioned on the old Beverly Hillbillies show (and it made the local paper).

It depends where you go down here in Florida. Along the beaches and in the cities and suburbs its all transplants (or really they're rejects, but that's another conversation), but once you get anywhere else you're really back in the South.
But you can git yerself some right good BBQ! Yee-haw! :thumbup:

What nasty Buffalo accent? We don't have an accent ;)
We also like to dip our pizza in blue cheese, but that's another story for another time.
48% Yankee - barely registers.

Hard to find around here in individual cans or bottles, I've got to buy the 2 litres for my fix.
48% yankee?!? Me thinks the 'test' is a bit off. Born in the rust belt, and been here ever since. I also found #18 interesting, as around here we commonly refer to the night before Halloween as Beggar's Night. I believe that's a fairly common midwestern term.

True. Driving through central FL (like south of Ocala) is as red as Alabama or Virginia for that matter.
Boiled peanuts suck.
Don't get me wrong, I love being able to get good New York quality bagels and cold cuts when I visit my parents in Tampa.
As a good Virginia native, I did grow up eating spicey pork rinds. Mmm, mmm.
There's a reason RC Cola couldn't keep up with Coke and Pepsi. It's a flat generic cola. Yuck.

Yep, I don't think you'll really get much of a "Yankee" score unless you've pick all the Northeasterner options.

I hit most of the Great Lakes ones and ended up with 38%. Would have been higher (lower?) if not for my hillbilly linneage, I'm sure.

When I lived in Florida, people would say to me all the time that I talked like I was from Cleveland. When I asked how they knew, they said it was my accent!

49% Yankee, barely there. I did answer nearly everything as a midwesterner, so I would assume I am about 90% in "The Middle". And, I was surprised not to see beggar's night, because that is what everyone around here and in Iowa calls it.
When you throw toilet paper all in the trees of thegrumpy bastard that lives down the way, what do you call it?
In Houston, we always called it "wrapping a house" but, that wasn't an option.
I never heard it referred to any of those that were listed.

Yup
26% (Yankee). You show a very strong Yankee score.
But I live in New England

Another girl and I were talking about just that yesterday... guess wrapping is another Houston term :D

100% don;t give a **** about your stupid poll. :gomer:

48% and barely into Yankee category (second generation Southern Californian)
They should've included the following question:
What do the words "coffee regular" mean to you?
If you're from New York, it means kwaffee milk & sugar.
If you're from the Midwest, it means kahffee black no sugar.
If you're from California, it means a tall skinny half-cafe extra-hot vanilla soy latte. :rofl:
I crack myself up sometimes!!
