goofy test I found: Are you a yankee or a rebel?

47% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

A real southerner would’ve said she was a lady.

She would have to be a lady in order for me to call her one.

I rescind my statement, that is an entirely valid point.

22% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

It’s about the result I expected. My accent is, well, pretty close to BBC-English, and the closest you get to that in America is the New England accent.

I’m just hoping someone utterly not from America winds up Southern, somehow. The same way I somehow manage to pronounce Japanese with an Osakan accent, despite having no knowledge whatsoever what the accent entails. Then again, my voice in Japanese is several tones, at least, higher in pitch, so I suppose all accent bets are off when one sounds like a schoolgirl.

intehresting.

38% Dixie.

(I didn’t post this yesterday because it wouldn’t load past question 17)

73% Dixie.

I don’t know whether that’s a good thing or not. :frowning:

It’s not a good thing. It’s a GREAT thing.

11% Dixie

I’m from Massachusetts, what d’ya expect? =/

They do in Columbus, GA. I think nearly every liquor store here has one. Although honestly I had never heard of or seen the concept of a drive through liquor store til I moved to Columbus.

BTW I don’t need no stinkin’ test. I’m 100% Johnny Reb.

That’s probably because Columbus is right next door to Alabama. Those rammer jammers have no class.

71% Dixie. Your neck must be a little pink!

You got your goddamn wish, Arac.

I don’t understand how pajamas, yard sales, crawdads, icing and coke were southern things. “Y’all” might be understandable, but I only picked that one because the other ones were stupid.

What the fuck? How are you southern. The only one of those I’m different from you on so far is Garage Sale instead of Yard Sale, and I ended up yankee.
This test is obviously flawed. I should’ve known I was a southerner.
I’m going to go change my name to Beauregard, guys.

Coke is mainly a Southern thing because all those other fuckers think soda and pop are acceptable. THEY’RE NOT. We invented Coke, Pepsi, RC Cola, and all those other carbonated beverages. The proper generic term is coke. With a small C. As in, “After class, do you want to grab some cokes?” Not soda. Not pop. Soda is only for orange and grape (and the occassional weird apple I’ve seen). Pop is for rocks.

Also, about y’all, I am honestly surprised they classified You’uns as Pennsylvanian. It is decidedly Southern, particularly in Appalachia. I’ve slipped into it before, and my cousin and whatnot say it all the time. And route? No one in the South says “rout.” We say route. The only time I’ve heard anything like it be said as rout, it would be a router (which I have slipped into). And aunt? The Southern aunt isn’t ain’t. The Southern aunt is like a mix between awnt and ain’t. It has the trademark Southern twang to it.

11% Dixie in the first one

10% Dixie in the “advanced” test

Well, I lived most of my life in Connecticut, and the rest in New York (I did live in Italy and California), so I’m not surprised by my results.

And yes, I do say AWNT instead of ANT for aunt. It’s the proper pronunciation. <_<

It’s because they lumped it with “yinz”, or whatever, which is a Pittsburgh thing.

And Pennsylvania isn’t exactly the heart of Yankeedom, especially central PA. There’s a reason the word Pennsyltucky was invented. The cities (Philly, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg) are Northern cities, but rural Pennsylvania is more middle ground.

You’uns and yinz aren’t the same though. Stupid inaccurate tests.
