I'm sort of annoyed at #15. Bubbler in MA? No way, it's totally an RI thing not a MA thing.
um ACTUALLY I've lived in MA my whole life and I've always called it a "bubbler." It's definately a southeastern MA-Cape Cod/ RI thing. I didn't hear "drinking fountain" until I went to a competition in Western/Northern MA and they thought I was nuts for calling it a bubbler.

Most of my answers were common to the midwest, so i guess the midwest is more dixie than yankee
Me too....my mom must have raised me up a true midwesterner (here in not-so-sunny California!)

My results:
53% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

63% Dixie, from many years 'behind enemy lines'. But there are occasions where I'll get my New Yawk accent up...

How bizarre!

My score:

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





I was born and raised in Southern California.....my mother was from Gary, Indiana and my father is from Chicago, Illinois! I sound nothing like a "Dixie" Southerner! I am confused!


Then again, San Diego technically *is* the most south and west you can get as far as the US mainland goes.....maybe that's what they mean by "Southern"? Southern California ??

I thought it would be at least 50% since I was born and raised in the Northeast.

81% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

(Nope, not as far as I know, but I know a Coke is a Coke for heaven sakes )
