I got: "84% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?"

Not entirely unexpected ... :rolleyes:

63% Dixie......not surprised. I still haven't broken myself of "y'all" even 10 years after moving from Texas.

I got the exact same score. I am from one of the southernmost counties in PA, har. Also there are some words there that my parents would use, but I don't.

This isn't really your accent, this is what words you use.

32% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.

Not a surprise; I've lived in New England (CT and MA) my whole life.

46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Is the West coast really Yankee?

65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

I've been in Texas too long :o

44% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. I don't know how I'm barely there. My family is all from NY, I was born in CT, and I was raised from the age of 2 in southern California. My mom does't have an NY accent, and my dad's only emerges on the words coffee, dog, and film (pron fillum). Weird.

53% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

Like many others, I don't really get mine either. My family has been in Florida since 1840ish. And my extended family is from Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama.

64% dixie


not that i was surprised in the least bit.

84% Dixie.

Yup, that's about right (here my whole life except the two years in Joisey;))

91% Dixie.

You "roll" someone ones house.

Bubbler, wtf?

And, the conversation you'll only here in the South

A: I'm going to the store, do you want anything.
B: Yeah, bring me a coke.
A: Ok, what kind?
B: Dr. Pepper.

And lastly, when people say "you guys" it drives me insane, our Greek adviser, who is from texas, so I don't quite understand the lack of yall in his vocabulary, uses you guys and it makes me long to choke the guy.

24% (Yankee). You show a very strong Yankee score.

yesssss <3
and question number 7 was the greatest. the only problem, is that it is spelled yinz, not yins. i wont argue too much, I was just proud to see western PA pop up there!:D

I remember my mom asking, "Do ya's want some sodee pop"? It was more like "yuz" rather than "youse". Maybe it was an Illinois thing from the '50's.

This made me laugh because I was only 58% Dixie.

Maybe we've been rubbing off on you in the blah, blah, blah, SEC threads.

Praytell Benzgirl, what is an "Eastern" accent? The New England, NY/NJ, Philly, Pittsburgh, Southeastern, and godawful Baltimore are pretty distinct from each other, so I'm curious as to what constitutes an Eastern accent. I was told by BetteDavisEyes last week while we were at Convention together that I have an Eastern accent, but I can't really figure out what that means (and she couldn't explain).

40% Yankee for me. Makes sense, since Maryland is a border state but slightly more Northern.
