Well that was weird....
Even though is seemed every answer favored the Great Lakes region, northeast area, etc, where I have lived all my life, I'm only 45% yankee. :huh:

I know Uncle Bob.... That's a good thing.... :LOL:
 
Jeeze, I was born in Iowa, lived most of my live there except the last 15 years spent in Illinois. Never lived in the south but visited there once for 5 months on business. And yet, I get a score of 58% Dixie (barely into the Dixie category).
I think I should have gotten Yankee there, ya think?? LOL.

Yea, which is what surprised me about my results. A lot of my answers got "Great Lakes Region or Northeast", a few got "Midwest", and only a couple got "southeast" or "southern".

But hey I guess UB will be proud! :LOL:
 
I think a "dixie" wrote that test to mess with us :LOL:

And where did this term "dixie" come from? First time I ever heard it.
Isn't it still politically correct to call them Johnny Rebs :ermm:
:LOL:
 
Mine came back as 45% Yankee with emphasis on the Northeast where I have never lived.

It's a fun test, but I don't think I'll take it too seriously:)

Okay, Uncle Bob, we're waiting for you!

Yeh, me too Pacanis. Spent 43 formative years in Jersey, yet they say 59% dixie, barely into Dixie Catagory.

And I never heard of that bug. Still don't know what they're talking about.​
 
The roley poley? Looks like a tiny little caterpillar or centipede if I remember correctly. We would put em in our hand and watch em curl up in defense.
 
Well, around here they are called pill bugs I guess, but as a kid we called them armadillo bugs. You find them under things or where it's damp. They roll up in a little, perfect ball about 1/4" in diameter.

We must be less Yank-y than we thought! I'm 43% (barely) Yankee, too.

In Pittsburgh we called your roly polies Potato Bugs. I'm surprised we neighbors don't share that one in common.. the "pop" I know, though!

Thanks for sharing the quiz, it was a lot of fun. Especially neat that you can see where all of the terms come from.
 
That is funny, I was born and raised in NJ and the test says I am barely Yankee lol

Me too! I only got 48% Yankee. Now, if they heard me say words like 'coffee' and 'sausage', they'd suggest I was from NYC. I can live with that, I suppose.

And "dog" and "water", VB?

The test is flawed! As a Bostonian, I am WICKED yankee (ironically) and my score was 49%, or just barely.

Puh-LEESE! :)
