I guess after 10 years in Connecticut, the saying's true: You can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl.

100% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?

Also, we called the bug either roly polies or doodle bugs, but question said they weren't doodle bugs. I guess they never played with my friends growing up.

Rolie Polies are the stuff of life! We used to run around the soccer field, lifting up rocks looking for them (and ladybugs).

Is that what a doodle bug is? I thought it was just a cute nickname--it never occurred to me it might be an actual bug.

Waaaay doun' Souf in DIXIE!!!

Welp, my mom's from Georgia and my Dad's from FLO-RID-A (outta Panama City) and both grands were from Georgia (Nelson, GA) and Florida (Quincy, FL), respectively; guess that pretty much makes me a Southern Gal... The funny part is my parents lived in California for 40 years and ain't neva, eva gonna loose dey accents... And my grandmother actually still responds to crazy comments with "Sho Nuff"?

91% Dixie.

Although, as someone else said, in Texas we called putting toilet paper in people's yards "wrapping." Not a choice.

And no childhood could have been complete without catching and being fascinated by the roly poly. Ah, memories.

100% Dixie. No wonder the Germans look at me so funny!

I thought doodle bug first, but I agree that they are interchangeable. I like doodle bug more, though!
