Take the Yankee / Dixie Quiz

[Dave]

Someone emailed this to me, & I turned out to be 96% Dixie (hard to believe i know) See what it says about you HERE (http://www.chuckchamblee.com/dom/fun/yankee_dixie_quiz.htm). I am really curious about what it says about those of you outside the U.S.

49% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Hmmm...Born in California, raised in Mississippi. I came out 50%. Go fig.

[FanGirl]

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

Although, I've heard the phrase Devil's night. I don't actually refer to it as that.

[Dave]

Zen, Maybe you have been visiting us too much, I wonder how you pronounce Pecan? Pee-Khan or Pee-Can?

RB. You are one of the people i've been wondering about. Especially since you have been in and around the states for a while.

Dave

[Razorback]

I have an American accent though... mostly a North Eastern New Jersey accent. I just don't pronounce everything like people around here.

[RobinHoodDaffy]

Of course you have heard of "Devil's Night", you have seen The Crow have you not?

[Efexeye]

Barely Yankee here, too. iI wonder what Communications student put this together as a term project?

It's weird though, I went back after I took it and kept hitting the recalculate button and after 4 or 5 presses, it said I was 100% Southern? WTF??

[jjcourtright]

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

Very curious. I've only lived in Northern Indiana and Colorado. Although I guess that makes sense, I always lived in the middle, so I end up in the middle.

[Efexeye]

It's a big deal in Detroit, because it used to be traditional to use the night before Halloween to burn shit down to the ground. Now, they have 10's of thousands of citizen volunteers on patrol, and billboards everywhere around the city eschew "Angel's Night" volunteerism.

[Dave]

I had forgotten about "Devil's Night" being in the Crow. I knew i had heard of it from somewhere, but couldn't place it. But since i don't refer to the night before as anything, i chose that option.

[/ QUOTE ] Cause if you are stubborn enough to keep pressing the same button to try and get a different result you must be Southern!

That's probably why they don't want you to change things, though I was 63% dixie
then 83% then 100% too, I guess the initial score is the only one that counts.

[Matt1]

66% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

That figured about right.

[Dave]

That's Pea-Khan, and don't let it hit you, because i heated your slice up in the Microwave for 20 sec. (what like i'm going to waste a whole scrumptious Pecan Pie in a food fight?)

[Threadkiller]

43% - Barely into the Yankee category.

[ratm1966]

46%, Barely into a yankee.

This seems to be bullshit though, as most of my answers that weren't nationwide, were Great Lakes, Northeast, or heavily Northeast. I only had a couple southern and maybe one West Coast.

[ozchick]

Well this is interesting...

[ozchick]

Funnily enough, while we were travelling through Florida, no less than 4 people at different times, days, places asked us if we were from New York!

[Mighty_Wingman]

I am shamed. I have forgotten the face of my father.

Answer: 91% percent Dixie ! You Are General Lees' son !

The funny thing is, people from Texas are always saying to me " You ain't from 'round here are ya ? "

[Efexeye]

Gotta love that King reference.

[Dave]

Florida doesn't count as southern (at least anywhere south of Gainesville), so who knows what that means, but seriously you should be honoured to be deemed southern by that thing, You can now call yourself a Southern Bell. Incendentally i think that both Australia and Most of the South was settled by the same peoples.

Convicts? That makes sense. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

That actually took a lot longer than i thought it would. You people should be ashamed, you didn't bite sooner. Good Job Matty

[Robbo_the_Hood]

My mom just forwarded this to me last week. I thought it was funny because it's so old.

Hey, lurker! Post your score.
