When I go out to see my uncle in AZ he makes fun of the way that I say certain things. I never realized the differance in the different parts of the country until then. LIke when I asked a waitress what kind of pop they had she just chuckled and said You mean soda?? lol

Soda? What's soda?

Dixies were pro slavery in the civil war era and they likely live on or below the Mason - Dixon line.

Yankees are native New Englanders or inhabitants of the northern states. According to this test, however, the more Yankee you are, the more "Great Lakes" region you speak -- if that makes sense.

That was so fun....I grw up in Michigan for 21 years but have lived in Connecticut for 24 years so my answers were a combination. Some things I had a hard time answering like gym shows and carbonated beverage as I always called them Tennis SHoes and Pop (very Michigan) but now I call them Sneakers and Soda

Thanks for the link

Wow, that is interesting!

I'm a displaced Yankee living in the South. LOL Maybe I need to listen to how my husband talks more often. He's all Dixie.

Im 56 % Dixie. I thought it was pretty funny that most of my answers were from the "southeastern US' but a few were northern. I guess Im weird. I did live in washington DC for 2 years when I was younger maybe I picked up some diversity there

)
