Are you a Yankee or a Dixie?
 
Fun, short quiz!

http://www.chuckchamblee.com/dom/fun...dixie_quiz.htm

My results were: 89% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

ADPiAkron 02-20-2004 11:44 AM

51% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

Barely is right! I was born and raised here in Ohio! The farthest South my family history goes is West Virginia! The rest of the family is from Pennsylvania and the New England states originally! Hmmmmmmmmm......

PhiPsiRuss 02-20-2004 11:44 AM

33% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.

NutBrnHair 02-20-2004 11:44 AM

That was fun!
 
My results:

93% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?

Big shocker here....
 
39% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.

Funny, most of my answers were pegged to the Midwest, except for a couple that showed off my obvious NJ/NYC heritage. (Youse guyz, etc.....)


Cool. :cool:

How can I be 59% Dixie when I have never resided outside New York, Arizona, or California? :eek: Of course, its not a bad thing to be Dixie, I'm just surprised is all.

I got 63% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

Interesting cause mom and dad are from the Chicago area (Calumet region of NW IN) but with dad being an AF Officer, we were mainly stationed in the south when I was growing up...

TX, MS, FL, Germany, WA, CA and Central OH for years. Otherwise I would consider myself very midwestern :)

Although, I AM PROUD TO BE A PHI MU!!

41% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

OrigamiTulip 02-20-2004 12:30 PM

67% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

AOIIBrandi 02-20-2004 12:31 PM

78% Dixie.

I'd say pretty accurate having been born and raised in North Florida and gone to college in South Georgia.

wreckingcrew 02-20-2004 12:32 PM

76% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!

WHOOP!!!

Grew up an Army brat, spent 4 years in Denver and 6 in northern Virgina before movin to Texas for the last 13 years of my life.

I've been in South Dakota for 5 months :(

46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. (Barely! I've lived in PA my whole life! Oh well, at least I know that the sandwich on a long roll is called a hoagie. ;))

This test basically determines if you're inbred my coworker said!

hmmm..link not working;)

Wonder if Chuck is from Chamblee, Ga..which seems to be made up more and more of persons from other countries.

cherrycola 02-29-2004 10:24 PM

I am 68% Dixie. oh no that makes me almost half and half. :eek:

ADqtPiMel 03-02-2004 02:42 AM

71% Dixie...weird for an Indiana-bred girl :p

preciousjeni 03-02-2004 03:39 AM

72% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!

(I think the reason I'm not 100% is TV!!)

ETA: Hmmm...first time I took it, I was trying to go quickly so I could get my first reaction, but I made mistakes and didn't clear the whole thing. I tried it again and didn't make any mistakes (like I had the first time) and got 90%. That sounds a little more likely. The last question is one I used to fight about with Northerners when I was a child!!! LOL!

aggieAXO 03-02-2004 05:30 AM

ME TOO 61% dixie and I've never left Cali for more than 3 months at a time.... WEIRD... but, of course they didn't ask if I say Hella !! that would've pegged me to Northern Cali very quickly ;)

AGDLynn 03-10-2004 11:41 PM

The link doesn't work for me but I think I took another version...Harvard dialect.

I was born in SOUTH Carolina but moved to GA when I was 5 and scored 54%.
Hubby was born in Alaska but grew up mostly in Buffalo, NY until moving to Alabama at 15. He scored 69%;)
