Yankee or Dixie test

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

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...

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

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

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

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

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.

I did not answer all the questions though because some of them are just WTF? LOL Like:

Don't be hatin'.

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.

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"?

Do they even cure you...
or is it just to humour us before we die?

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

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

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

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

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...

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

Heh, I like that one. Little doodlies.

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.

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