31% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

...thank goodness.

18% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

Right. Definitely a Yankee.

But the problem is you speak Yankee. :eek:

But the problem is you speak Yankee. :eek:

I've always just thought of it as speaking properly. :p

67% Dixie. Just under the Mason-Dixon Line

Fairly accurate, I suppose. I share alot of 'yankee' views on things, but I fucking hate everyone who lives up there. I've been to Detroit a few times, Indianapolis once, and a few places in Illinois. Everywhere I went up there it seemed like people lacked even common courtesy toward one another.

I guess when you live in a large city or town it doesn't really pay to be polite and it's kind of like that in big Southern cities as well, but being raised in rural Texas, some things were just ingrained in me. Please and thank-you are more reflex now than actual thought, but things like holding open a door for one another, standing aside for old people, allowing people into traffic, saying excuse me, or any of a hundred tiny but, to me, important nuances were missing.

But, you've got two choices: Rude and often smug yankee fucks, or hordes of halfwit hillbillies? I'm a hermit, so I rarely deal with the hillbillies, but when I do, they're always polite.

35% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee

18% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!
I'm jealous. That's a great score.

33% Dixie. True enough. Born a Yankee, spent 20 years in the South, now in New England. I consider those 20 years to exile in the CSA.

40%. Guess that makes me a damnyankee.

19 percent. Duke of Yankeedom.

22% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Take the test to see which one you are.

39% Southern.
35% Dixie. Die hard Yank.

53% Dixie. Barely in Dixie
Makes sense. I’ve lived all my life in the South, but some of that was in Palm Beach which is inhabited mostly by Northerners.

63% Dixie. Just under the Mason-Dixon Line


Strangely enough, almost all of my answers were along the lines of "common throughout the US" and other variations....

57% Dixie. Barely in Dixie


Just like my state. Delaware, only technically south of the mason dixon.

34% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

53% Dixie. Barely in Dixie.

I'm hardly surprised, I have lots of family in the southern US, but I've lived my whole live in the west.

34% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

Thats good to know. But 34% Dixie seems a bit too much for me, being born and raised in the North :P

"73% Dixie. Your neck must be a little pink!" Not really. It rains too much in the UK. I have a reason for getting 73% dixie though. I'm British, and you yanks are just weird.

How do I pronounce aunt? Well, not like want, nor ant, nor caught, nor ain't, but more like aren't.

What kind of sale is it on the front lawn? - A jumble sale.

What's that long sandwich with lots of cold cuts and toppings - A sandwich?

What do you call gym shoes? - Trainers.

What is spread onto the tops of cakes? ICING! How can it be frosting when it's made from icing sugar?

What is that bubbly carbonated drink called? It looks like there were refering to a specfic product here, so I went with coke.

It's a woodlouse I tell you!

As for the ones that didn't have my answer I just clicked randomly. So that's how I ended up as a confederate.

41% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom

Albany County-Greene County line=Mason-Dixon Line. I live very close.

EDIT: The Infinite Dunes: We call it "confectioner's sugar" where I live.

33& dixie definetely a yankee

31% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

Barely in Dixie -- 57%.

Here's the funny thing -- I AM a Yankee born and bred! Lived in NYC all my life.

I'd love to be a Yankee. The salary's great, I'd get to travel with the team, etc.... The problem is, my batting average would be horrible, I'm not a great fielder, and I have shallow range in the outfield.



Oh, you mean the test results. Mine is "15% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!"

Huh, being English makes me a 40% Dixie. Weird.

I'm jealous. That's a great score.
Well, I live even more north than all you yankees. They should make an "uber-yankee" category for us canucks. :D

Huh, being English makes me a 40% Dixie. Weird.
In the time of Shakespeare, it's believed that Londoners talked like South Caroliners do nowadays, so it's really not that surprising.

lol...i'm Canadian too, my score still wasn't as low as yours.

22% redneck. Praise the Lord...

83% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?

Yeeeeeeee HAW!

:D

I don't think this works for me...the way I pronounce things, I don't really fit.

Anyways: 48% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

64% Dixie.


Heheh...yep.

38% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

I didn't finish when I got to three questions in a row where I wanted to answer "all of the above." Apparently four years in Berkeley, 6 in Southern Ohio, and 8 in various parts of Michigan spread my language out more than I thought.

22% Dixie. I guess 9 years in Cincinnati made me more...Northern?

31% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

22% ****** doodle dandy.

I have to censor myself, being a Mets fan.

30% Dixie.

31% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

With a capital "Y", thank you.

53% Dixie, because I live in the Southeast.

"100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!"

A little weird since I live just a little South of the Mason Dixon Line in WV.

Proud to be a redneck, you yankees annoy me.

31%.

Not suprising, I've lived all over, but have spent the past decade in the urban midwest.

35% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

45% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.


But then, not American so a bunch of the questions I ignored.

68% Dixie - which surprised me. Although I grew up in the South, my linguistic background is not especially Southern.

Also, a number of the questions I would have liked to answer "all of the above" or "several of the above".

For example, I chose "soft drink" as the name for, well, soft drinks, because I consider that the most common, but I also say "soda". I *never* say "pop" or "tonic", however.

Likewise, I refer to plastic grocery bags, and paper grocery sacks. I'm familiar with "poke" (as in, "He thought he had a pig in a poke, until someone let the cat out of the bag." ;-)

As for "aunt" - I had thought I used the common Northern pronunciation, but rhymes with "gaunt/haunt/taunt" wasn't an option. I chose "rhymes with caught" because it was closest, but "caught" doesn't have the "n" in it. I've never heard anyone refer to their "Unt" (rhymes with want/hunt/runt).

Well, there's your problem...Everywhere I've lived "want" rhymes with "gaunt/haunt/taunt," not "hunt/runt.":D

33% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

YES!

And to all you freaks, it's SODA! NOT POP.

And hell yeah! Hoagie!

46% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom...lol I live in Tejas, but my dad is a yorker don't tell him I called him that:p

33% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

YES!

And to all you freaks, it's SODA! NOT POP.

And hell yeah! Hoagie!
Hoagie? I think not!
but seriously who where uses Pop?

I used pop in Michigan, and I think I used it while I was in southern Ohio too. Soda is that nasty carbonated water crap!
And hey, at least it's better than calling everything "Coke."
Waitress-What can I get you?
Me-Oh, I want a Coke.
Waitress-What kind?
Me-Dunno....Sprite, I guess.
:rolleyes:

Hoagie? I think not!
but seriously who where uses Pop?
I think I use "hoagie" because I'm near Philly, "sub" because more people understand me then.. And uh.. hoagie!

Those stupid Western PA freaks use that ugly word "pop"

.. I wanna know what that Jello person uses. Probably "pop" :mad:

40% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

... whats a yankee? And whats wrong with soft drink??

crazy Americans.

'36% Dixie... you are definitely a yankee'

Has a certain kind of irony as a Canadian. Not surprising I ended up with a lot of 'great lakes' results.

8% Dixie. Thank god.

9% Dixie. You are as Yankee as they get!!

94% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

YEEEEHAWWW! JOIN ME IN PROCLAIMING THAT IT IS "COKE," NOT "SODA," and DEFINITELY NOT "POP."

Hoagie? I think not!
but seriously who where uses Pop?

All of friggin' Ohio. I hear it every day on-campus at Wittenberg University.

Of course, they also play a game called "cornhole." I'm sure you could understand my morbid curiosity and the later dismay at finding that cornhole in Ohio is a beanbag toss.

38% dixie, definitely a yank. Oh, and it ain't coke, its soda. But then again Im from California

38% dixie, definitely a yank. Oh, and it ain't coke, its soda. But then again Im from California

My Daddy's from Newport Beach, California, so really, I can switch from the almost inbred Southern-sounding voice to a California vocal pattern faster 'n you can blink. It's the best thing to do around here because there are places where people will go "You don't sound like yer from around here."

Thi map finally answers the question of pop/coke/soda. (http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/blogphotos/Blog_Cola_Large.gif)

Only 12% Dixie. I'm a true blue Yankee and proud of it.

Many of you Brits seemed to be surprised that you lean more on the Dixie side, but that's actually quite correct. Aside from social issues, the South is also more linguistically conservative than the North and hence a closer bond between British and Dixie than British and Yankee.

30% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

95% dixie.

sweet.

82% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?

Heh. No. But if any of y'all have some just hand it on over. I need some extra cash right now. :)

4% Dixie. You are as Yankee as they get!!

wheeeee.

19% Dixie

However, I am not a Yankee. Yankees are New Englanders and possibly New Yorkers and/or Jerseymen.

22% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

I come from New Zealand so this is kinda interesting.. Then again, I have no idea what else I would be.

Yankee Duke

19% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

I'm actually live in the "official" south, but I was raised by my New Englander parents. I swear I could hear my parents talking on some of those questions.

I'm from tha City that Never Sleeps, and I'm willin to make youse an offer youse can't refuse.

0% DIXIE!!!! LONG LIVE NEW ENGLAND!!!! LONG LIVE THE NEW YORK YANKEES, THE NEW YOORK METS, THE JETS, THE GIANTS, THE RANGERS, AND THE KNICKS!!!!! 100% BLUE-BLOODED YANKEE!!!!

20% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

I'm from Minnesota. We also use pop.

12% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

35% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

And since I was born, raised, and live in New York, that makes me as much Yankee as they can come. Nevermind that fact that it's all Upstate...

36% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

Interesting since i'm an Australian

Took another test
and its 0% Dixie. You are as Yankee as they get!!

33% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

YES!

And to all you freaks, it's SODA! NOT POP.

And hell yeah! Hoagie!
Sub is acceptable too. I tried to order a hoagie in upstate New York and was served an odd look instead.

All of friggin' Ohio. I hear it every day on-campus at Wittenberg University.

Of course, they also play a game called "cornhole." I'm sure you could understand my morbid curiosity and the later dismay at finding that cornhole in Ohio is a beanbag toss.
What do they use for a target? Goatse?

53% Dixie. Barely in Dixie

I scored 100% Dixie. It asked if General Lee was my grandfather!!

What do they use for a target? Goatse?

God, don't I wish. It's all superlame like this (http://www.che.uc.edu/connick_group/website/pictures/CORNHOLE.JPG).

Take the test to see which one you are.

http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/yankeetest.html

39% Southern.

Before test, I predict it'll come out Johnny Reb.

My score is: 100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

My Nana'd be proud....

And I scored 82 out of 100 on the Real Redneck Test (http://www.countryhumor.com/humor/southtest.htm) (mostly cause I don't care for cars or football.)

Redneck Test

This test really can't be cheated on... either you know the answers or you don't. Yankees may score a 2 or 3, whereas the natives typically score around 20+. If you score over 50, you should be living in a trailer park with the Trans Am up on blocks.

::: picks up a banjo and a shotgun.....:::

37% Rebel.... definitely a yankee.... hmmmmm....

Born in South... check
Raised in South... half-check
Living in South... check
Enjoys the way 'The South will Rise Again' rolls off the tongue... check


Right. Definitely a Yankee.
But do you have the flag?;)
http://proudrebel.com/rebel/Mvc-380f_flag_rise.jpg-I own a flag just like it.
aunt=Like the word caught -I thought it sounded rather Virginian not New England...

How do you pronounce the second syllable in pajamas?

Rhymes with jam
Rhymes with job -I don't understand:confused:
I assume job but what does it ryhme with?

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

I predict 48% i would hope for more but i fear the test...

68% Dixie. Just under the Mason-Dixon Line
YEAH HAW!

61% Dixie. Just under the Mason-Dixon Line

Hm... born, raised, and living in Steeler's Nation and I'm 61% Dixie? Probably because I don't say yins.

But do you have the flag?;)


Hell yah! I got one 'a them on my wall. (And just to poke a finger in the eye, of any damnedfoolGDY, ya'll just try and call it racist.... No good heritage robbing SOBs...)

::: picks up a banjo and a shotgun.....:::
I got 31 on the test you linked to. According to the test natives score 20+ Weird because I'm from New Jersey. Maybe they need to adjust the scoring a bit.

31% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

Hells... yeah...

31% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

Well, it makes sense; I'm a New Englander. I have lived a lot in Virginia, though, so I guess it dilluted my pure blood :p

But I took the test again, changing only a few answers (I was a bit undecided on some, so I had to choose between one or the other), and I got this:

65% Dixie. Just under the Mason-Dixon Line

78% dixie. sounds about right as I'm in oklahoma.

:cool: see my tan?

I dont care about my capatalization for those of you who do.

78% Dixie. Your neck must be a little pink!

I got 31 on the test you linked to. According to the test natives score 20+ Weird because I'm from New Jersey. Maybe they need to adjust the scoring a bit.

While slightly biased towards the South, it's really a Redneck test, hence the title. While we talk about it, hand me a jack handle.... ;)

94% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

YEEEEHAWWW! JOIN ME IN PROCLAIMING THAT IT IS "COKE," NOT "SODA," and DEFINITELY NOT "POP."

I've always said soda, but most the older folks use soft drink. I say sub, yardsale, aunt rhymes with ant, tennis shoes(tenny shoes), water fountain, ya'll , roly poly, rolling, grocery bag, icing, crawdad, I pronounce cot the way it is spelled and caught sorta like kawt.. but not so much strong on the 'aw', rout rhymes with root, creek sounds like meek, car-a-mel and I didn't have a word for halloween eve or a drive through liquor store. :)

94% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

YEEEEHAWWW! JOIN ME IN PROCLAIMING THAT IT IS "COKE," NOT "SODA," and DEFINITELY NOT "POP."Real common conversation at my house... "You want a coke?" "Yeah, what kind you got?"


89% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?
I ask you, does anyplace actually still accept Confederate money. No? Well that's your answer then. :D

I'm bored, so I thought what the hell.

"How do you pronounce aunt"?

None of the above. Like aren't.

"How do you pronounce the second syllable in pajamas?"

jarm.

"What's the tiny lobster that crawls around in creek bottoms?"

A yabbie.

"What's a drive through liquor store called?"

Bottle-O. But Brew-thru is a cool one.

"What's that bug that rolls into a ball when you touch it?"

Slater?


Conclusion: I believe that I am not American.

39% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

100% European.

That's wayyy too high.

39% Southern.

100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

Funny, I am half-Korean, raised by a Korean father and a Southern mother, mostly across Virginia, North and South Carolina, with brief interludes in Utah and Delaware (all the places I lived in my youth).

13% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!


Thank goodness I grew up around New Englanders and Michiganders. There's not even a hint of Texas or any other Southern area in my voice (or speech, for that matter).

*headbangs*

26% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Yankee for me. Interestingly enough, considering the fact that my parents come from an area (and was born in) with heavy British influences (not surprising considering the fact that the two places were formerly loyal to the British Crown), I use American English.

92% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!


:D

%38 Dixie...that means I'm %62 Republican!

22% Dixie. You are a Yankee.

Interesting, but not unsuprising given the fact that New Englands pronunciation is very similar to English anyways...

60% Dixie. Barely in Dixie

Southern Indiana, plus I tend to play up the accent to play with people, thus the score.

52% Dixie. Barely in Dixie


??????

interesting.....
