Your score: 28% (Yankee). You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

You can take your accents and shove 'em, Texas.

49% Yankee...which is odd because I've lived in Washington since I was three. Must be my southern in-laws' influence. I do find myself saying "y'all" a lot...

Heh, we're almost opposites! I've lived in Texas most of my life (had a brief stint in New Mexico when I was 2), though I grew up in the Corpus Christi area. Port Aransas, to be specific. There are a lot of Northerners there, the most being Michiganders, New Englanders, and Ohioans/Western Pennsylvanians.

That's funny that you scored more Yankee than I did! I'll have to tell my father-in-law. He's from Arkansas...he'll be so proud!

Heh, that's cool. My dad hates it, and he has the most atrocious Texas accent ever...

46% Yankee, Barely in the Yankee Category. Which is weird becuase I grew up in Canada.

My FIL isn't too bad...it comes out more when he's talking to family that's still in Arkansas, or his sister who lives in Dallas-Ft. Worth.

Interestingly I had no idea what the big deal was about Texas pecans until she brought some up and made us pecan pie. I've never had it before, and I don't think I should bother having it again unless Josephine ships me some!

Meh, I never saw what the big deal was, either. I guess some people in this state like to think they're superior to everyone else.

I'm a swedish yankee. 38%.

I'm a swedish yankee. 38%.

Me too; 39%.

46% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.Meh. My origins are borderstate anyway, so it doesn't matter much.:p

I am 43% Yankee, born in South America and living in Australia. I have never been to the U.S.A.
:confused:

57% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line

I'm not surprised as I'm a Western boy and we have a mix of everyone (which explains why many of the choices I could have gone multiple on).

I thought I'd have a look at this even though I'm British, and it's reaffirmed my belief that American English is a very strange language. In most of Britain, 'aunt' is pronounced the same as 'aren't', and pyjamas is pronounced 'pa-jar-mahs' (although the first syllable is close to a syllabic 'p' like in 'p[o]lice').

49% Yankee. Damn southern influences in Pittsburghese.

40% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.

I think its interesting that my state could be so different from the rest of the US. I live in Michigan. I guess all that water isolation causes some language differences to develope. That is just cool. I want a pop now..to go with my crawdad

Stupid, chose 70%-80%, should have chosen 80%-90%. Dag namit, can someone fix that so I can vote right?

Anywho...

83% (Dixie). Do you still use Confederate money?

Lol, na, I'm just an Good Ol' southern boy. Open-minded mind ya'll...

53% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line.

I'm from Maryland, and after that DC, so that makes sense.

55% Dixie--though I've only been South of it 7 times in my life--and never for more than a week at a time.

I guess I understand why my cousins keep telling me that I don't sound like I'm from Wisconsin. :)

74% (Dixie). Your neck must be at least pink!

Funny thing is, I'm not even white...

35% Yankee

I'm from Michigan, so I guess that's about right. Although when I think "Yankee" I think of the Northeast, not the Great Lakes.

For a kinda funny guide on the Michigan accent.

http://www.michigannative.com/ma_home.shtml

I had fun checking to see where the words came from. One problem is that a lot of the "Southern" terms are terms that I don't hear used anymore. I'd heard Doodlebug, but we always used Roly-Poly. Also, a Grinder is something you find in a metalworking shop, not a sandwich.

91%, and no, General Lee isn't my Grandfather. :)

66% (Dixie). Just under the Mason-Dixon Line

I am really surprised that I scored so low :(

Damn, I had no idea anyone pronounced "caught" like "cot," anywhere.. that's messed up.. It's always been "kaw-t," wherever I go.. :confused:

Anyway.. "40% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee."

1. How do you pronounce the word 'Aunt'?

Like the word 'can't'.
So none of the above.

2. How do you pronounce 'caramel'?

B. Three syllables ("car-a-mel")

3. How do you pronounce 'creek'?

A. Rhymes with 'meek'.

4. How do you pronounce the second syllable in 'pajamas'?

Rhymes with 'ja'. not Jam, dont know how to make it rhyme with job
So NA

5. How do you pronounce 'route'?

A. Rhymes with 'root'. or Rout, depends on context/mood

6. Do you pronounce 'cot' and 'caught' the same way?

B. No cot is pronounced "kot", caught is more like "kawt",

7. How do you address a group of people?

Guy's or Hey YOU.
So NA

8. What kind of sale is it on the front lawn?

D. Garage sale.

9. What's that long sandwich with lots of cold cuts and toppings?

A. Sub - cause we have Subway and they are the only one's who sell it

10. What's the tiny lobster that crawls around creek bottoms?

Yabbie
So NA

11. What do you call gym shoes?

A. Sneakers.

12. What is spread onto the tops of cakes?

B. Icing.

13. What's that road along an interstate highway?

B. Service road.
but they dont exist next to freeways etc... only residential sections on arterial roads

14. What do you put groceries in?

A. Bag.

15. Where might you get water in a public building?

A. Water fountain.

16. What is that bubbly carbonated drink called?

D. Soft Drink. or by name, so generally Coke or Pepsi etc

17. What's it called when you throw toilet paper over a house?

We dont... It seems stupid

18. What's the night before Halloween called?

A. We dont

19. What's a drive-through liquor store called?

C. DriveThru or DriveThru Bottle'o

20. What's that thing that rolls into a ball when you touch it?

Dunno - no such creature... i guess it isnt poisonous enough for australia :-)

Your score: 46% (Yankee). Barely Yankee.
but there were a lot of best fits...

51% right on the mason dixon line. Which is odd, given that I have a fairly pronounced midlantic and I don't live in the south.

50% Yankee, barely Yankee.

34% Yankee

61% Dixie - "Just below the Mason-Dixon line".

74% (Dixie). Your neck must be at least pink!

Makes sense - I'm a lifelong resident of North Carolina, although first-generation (my parents are refugees from Pittsburgh.)

:p

A Canadian Yankee here - 39%.

64% (Dixie). Just under the Mason-Dixon Line

Hmm, OK.

Well, they say that most Canadian cities are within 150KM (or some rather close distance) of the American border...so what the hell...

44% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

There's only one question necessary to separate the bubbas from the carpetbaggers.

How do you eat your grits?
A) With milk and sugar.

B) With salt and butter.

C) Stirred into my eggs.

D) What?

B & C will put you strongly in the South. D marks you as a Yankee. Answer A has you pegged as a brand new transplant, just off the turnip truck.

On my very first day in the South, I was looking over the board of fare at the NAS Pensacola chow hall. I settled on some over-easy eggs, toast, and a bowl of cream of wheat. I put plenty of milk and sugar on the cream of wheat and ate a spoonful. I didn't spit it back out, but I came mighty close. Corn was just not made for milk or sugar, unless it's mush.

Hell, let's keep this one going, it's really kinda fun!

Some gal I know sent me this on email, and I thought it was pretty cute, figgered some other folks might enjoy it as much as I did.

Hell, ya can't REALLY take it all too literally, anyways...but it's a decent enough indicator...least, in my case, it was. I got 56% Dixie, which makes sense, seeing as I have, in my 34 years, lived south of the Mason-Dixon line for 15 of them...and, only recently moved back North, so it makes some sense that my speech patterns would still carry a slight preference towards the South.

I imagine if I took the same test a year from now, I might show up as slightly Yankee.

I got a vast quantity of midwest/great lakes states answers...I wonder why :D

Shit, I remember the first time I ordered ham and eggs down south...in Texas...and I'm like...what's that white stuff?? LOL, it reminds me of the movie "My Cousin Vinny." Never did much care for grits, but I love chicken fried steak.
On the other hand...come on up to where I live now, in Pennsylvania Dutch country and order you up some scrapple. I promise to try REAL HARD not to laugh too much if you eat it! No, you DON'T want to know what scrapple is, or what it is made from...I almost made that mistake, once, trying scrapple...but then a kindly soul informed me what it was. which saved me a day in the bathroom barfing up my toenails, so God bless that kind soul!

I've developed a taste for grits (with butter and salt) from hanging out with some of my friends who come from down south.

What's wrong with scrapple? It's a great way to get rid of all the parts of the pig you never considered eating.

I grew up in Northeast Ohio and I've seen scrapple on the menu before. The old rule about watching sausage being made applies. In fact, isn't scrapple a lot like SPAM? Everything but the squeal?

The other thing that is still a mystery to me around here is why people will put grape jelly on sausage biscuits and how they find that appetizing.

I can think of a better way. Like the trash can or the garbage disposal!

Sick. I've never heard of anyone eating grits with salt & butter, milk and sugar, or stirred into eggs before. When I eat them (which is a rare occasion, believe me), I always use sugar and butter. I'm a cream of wheat person, myself.

57% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line

Ewwwwwwwwww! No WONDER you come up with some of the things you do! Heh!

Grits are meant to be eaten with salt, pepper and a bit of butter, or not at all! :p

'Ere we go.

Those are just some of the things I heard growing up in Port Aransas. :p

Well, it is America-oriented...all the answers relate to what part of the U.S. the word/phrase is most common to. I put that it is america-oriented, because the last time I did a poll here that was America-oriented, I got my head handed to me by a bunch of pissed-off Europeans, who felt they were left out. so, I put the america-oriented as an advance warning that the poll was America-oriented.

39% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.


Nope, I'm a southerner, barely so (the county I live in is just south of the mason dixon line)

I was just kidding... you'd think putting 'yankee/redneck' in the title of the thread would indicate it's America oriented already ;)
I find it rather difficult to imagine an English guy scoring 70% redneck ... :D

I don't find that big of a surprise. Most of the southern speech patterns seem to be very english. Especially when you get out to the hollers where civilization hasn't had much of a foothold.

28% (Yankee). You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

there it is. a german yankee all the way. everyone happy now?

:)



i am, after all. hehe.

45% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

39% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.

No suprise there.

yikes im only 44% yankee! i think its because ive taken to using y'all. its much more interesting than "you all" or "all of you".

i grew up in maine, spent 15 years in michigan/wisconsin, and the past 11 in new mexico. i guess it has affected my speech. i found i had to approximate the answers to many pronunciations. like pah jah mahs.

besides they dint include "italian sandwich" on the sub list. nor did they even HAVE a question that might have "wicked" as one of the answers.

I don't find that big of a surprise. Most of the southern speech patterns seem to be very english. Especially when you get out to the hollers where civilization hasn't had much of a foothold.

I'm told that until recently, people from the Outer Banks of North Carolina still spoke a recognizably Elizabethan dialect of English. The Outer Banks (particularly the northern islands) were extremely isolated; there was no access by road to some of them until the 1960s. With little to no outside influence, the dialect of the original settlers survived almost unchanged until the mid-20th century. And the accent was just bizarre.

Alas, the Banker dialect is all but lost, having been swamped by hordes of Northern transplants who have moved to the Outer Banks in the last twenty years.

:(

53%, right on the mason/dixon line.

Yay for me. I live in the south.

56% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line

which is hilarious since I'm from england...

56% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line

Well, it kinda makes sense. England did back the south in the US civil war.

39% Yankee??? I was born in Kentucky and have spent much of my life in North Carolina! Okay I've lived a lot of places... but still I'd think I would be a southerner.

16. What is that bubbly carbonated drink called?

The problem with this question is that I use all terms interchangably. I use soft drinks, soda, pop, soda pop (which was not included), and coke. To top it all off I don't even drink soft drinks, so I seldom talk about them anyway.

46% Yankee, Barely in the Yankee Category. Which is weird becuase I grew up in Canada.

I got 41% and I'm Canadian too.

45% yankee

57% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line
Makes sense. I’ve spent most of my life in South Florida, an interesting combination of Southeast, Northeast and a bit of California. Though, a few years living in the great state of Texas has definitely had an effect on my speech pattern.

40% Yankee, but I'm in the pacific northwest... We have our own dialect... Even if it is all different words for rain...

Some of the out of the way places that I've found on fishing trips sure bear out what you say. The sentence structure was odd and the accents odder. Things like "Put that door shut" is hillbilly talk, but those are the closest links to our English ancestry.

38% Yankee. I lived in the South, but my childhood was in Connecticut.

53% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line

Little biographical info: I lived in NJ until I was three then moved down to Virginia and have lived here for the past 15 years. I continue to visit relatives up in Jersey and Pennsylvania. The funny thing is I don't have a Southern accent.

Well, it kinda makes sense. England did back the south in the US civil war.
And the South backed England (at least the deep south) in the first civil war (revolutionary). Georgia and SC pretty much gave up and died.

40% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.

Bastards. I'm Californian! :(

50% Yankee, Barely Yankee.

Probably because I've lived in the Mid-Atlantic, Texas, Southeast, Midwest, and New England.

I can't believe my state is the only one that uses the therm "Devil's night"!

It's where all the teens and such go out, playing pranks and TPing houses. It's a night of pranks and such'n.

Our TPing technique is very complex, and requires several hours of hard labor.

Honestly, I don't know. I guess we Michiganders like to be different. All that fresh water must have gone to our heads. :D

43% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

Well, I do live reasonably close to Maryland, though I'm still in Pennsylvania.

53% Redneck.

I guess that makes me barely a redneck...my mother is from Rhode Island, my father from Oregon, but I was born n' raised in Florida. So I guess I am just a mutt.

39% (Yankee). Nope, I'm a southerner, barely so (the county I live in is just south of the mason dixon line)In Maryland?

Why don't you do that on Halloween...like the rest of the country? :confused:
In NJ we do it on the night before Halloween too. We call it mischief night. I remember egging cars that drove by and running from the drivers, egging houses, running from the cops. Good times.

P.S. For the record, I was 56% Dixie.
Not surprising, since I have lived about half my life on each side of the Mason-Dixon Line.

66% (Dixie). Just under the Mason-Dixon Line...

Which is about right, since I'm from Tidewater Virginia [more specifically Hampton Roads, and even more Virginia Beach].

34% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.

;)

33% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.

although for some I do use either word, like i do call it a Garage sale, Rummage sale or Yard Sale.

My score is not suprising as I was born and raised in Massachusetts and left there when I was 18. Moved back there for a year when I was 26. Spent most of the rest of my 62 years living in one place or another in the south.

45% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

You can take your accents and shove 'em, Texas.
Are you from Texas or from elsewhere? Do you have an accent different from those around you, or is this test just wrong?

In most of Britain, 'aunt' is pronounced the same as 'aren't', and pyjamas is pronounced 'pa-jar-mahs' (although the first syllable is close to a syllabic 'p' like in 'p[o]lice').
That's because you don't pronounce the "r". The Irish people speak English more correctly than the English people, that's internationally recognised.

My score is not suprising as I was born and raised in Massachusetts and left there when I was 18.
