Yankee or Dixie test

[Celtic Jobber]

This is really just meant for people in the US, but it'll be interesting if people worldwide take it as well. :done:

Edit, I found a new working link for the quiz http://www.sonicpling.net/misc/yankee-dixie-quiz.html

Of course, Yankee means you're more likely to be from the Northern US, and Dixie meaning you're from the Southern US.

It says I'm "78% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!"

Hmm... I had no idea I was such a country bumpkin... :gigi: :rolleyes:

Only people in the South refer to all soda as "coke"? :confused:

[freddie]

Apparently my slavic accent resembles the northern folks more. :S

"48% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category."


17. What's it called when you throw toilet paper over a house?
WTF?? Why would you do that anyway? :spy:

On Halloween, some kids/teenagers go around doing that as a prank.

People from the rival school also used to TP my old high school during football season. :rolleyes:

[haku]

44% Yankee

I did not answer all the questions though because some of them are just WTF? LOL Like:
What's that long sandwich with lots of cold cuts and toppings?
What's that bug that rolls into a ball when you touch it?
How the hell should i know? :gigi:

Youse
You'uns, yins
Y'all

Don't be hatin'. :D

Actually, a lot of TN words weren't given as answers.
- People just say "shoes" for all kinds of footwear.
- A road along an Interstate is a "dirt trail".
- People can also be addressed as "y'alls".
- A bug that rolls itself up is called a "curly critter".

Jive-ass test don't go no accurate dialect variation anyhow. :D

Damn you Atlanta....damn you :p

[Mossopp]

I'm 61% Dixie apparently.
They should make a test like this relating to Britain - it'd be hilarious!
BTW, am I the only British person who regularly says "y'all"? :ithink:

hm..whose influence could *that* be...*tries to look as if she had no clue*

I didnt answer half of the questions cause I didnt understand the question or the answer *LOL* *grins* or I went like WTF?! *giggles*

[russkayatatu]

I can't get the link to work :ithink: but it sounds funny :D

I lived in the south and used to order a "regular Coke" to distinguish it from diet and other sodas - I know some people who think that sounds ridiculous :gigi:

Also heard people say 'y'all all,' as in "y'all all better come into the house now" ... :laugh:

cniaju, 'curly critter'? I know those as 'doodle bugs' :gigi:

Yep. That's how it is here. :) In this area, a "Coke" can be
any soft drink, i.e. Pepsi, Sprite, Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper...

Also heard people say 'y'all all,' as in "y'all all better come into
the house now".

That's said here, too. People also say "all y'all" or "y'alls all". :D

I know those as 'doodle bugs'

Heh, I like that one. Little doodlies. :D

I don't know if anyone's still interested in taking this quiz, but I found a working link for it and edited it into the first post. :done:

Took the test. Hi-hi, 63% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score! So what now? I couldn't figure out a few definitions there though. :bum:
