www.alphadictionary.com/articles/yankeetest.html (http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/yankeetest.html)That's scary: We live right on the Mason-Dixon line in the middle of PA, east/west, and it had us peged exactly: 47% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

I didn't get it about the toilet paper thing, though ....must be an age thing. We used to throw shelled corn. :D

I came in at 65% Dixie. I was raised in Detroit by southern parents and spent a lot of time in TN. OK, I guess it fits.

I was born and raised in NJ and moved to MI. I refuse to call carbonated beverages "pop" though.

And no one really says "youse" in NJ and NY. They do often pronounce often as "off ten" instead of "offen".

At least no one calls Al (aluminum) aluminium... the first time I heard a British professor lecture on metals and mentioned aluminium, I thought, :eek: did someone sneak in a new element/alloy ??? Until he indicated it was just regular Al.

Wrink,


I am rolling on the floor laughing. Yes sir ree...we say Grace before everything we eat and yes Ma'am, and yes sir are the norm from where we are from. I am a sothern boy to my heart, even though I am not proud of the history the South has.

This test put me at 55% so a rebel I am.

83% Dixie. I blame my 17% deficiancy on having spent 12 months in Nam,
as the only other Texan, in a Company full of yankees. Youse know, those
soda/tonic drinkin dudes talk kinda funny. :lol:

46% just barely a Yankee. 28 years in Maine, 35 in New York and 2 in Fl. to do 54% of the healing so far. I am getting better by the day. Can't wait to take this again next year. Dennis:beer:

55% for me which says "Right on the mason dixon Line". Considering that I'm originally from MD, seems pretty accurate.

Hank is one of my favorites...

Here are the words... Harder to understand unless you read the lyrics...
"And we say grace and we say Ma'am
And if you ain't into that we don't give a damn"
