I came up as 63% Dixie even though I've never lived below the MD line and have spent hardly any time in the South. I'm trying to figure out if the Southerners I know have somehow "infected" me ;-)
Fun quiz though. |
46% dixie,Grew up in Florida but have lived all over the country, now in Ny. Guess I picked pronunciations from everywhere.
|
86% Yankees - wonder where that other 14% came from? (But some of the questions are odd - what kind of bug are they talking about? And have never seen a drive through liquor store.)
|
I'm 83% Dixie and should be - always lived in Tennessee!
|
A pill-bug or a rolly polly (I've heard both terms) is a bug that rolls up in a little ball when you touch it. I remember poking at them as a child when I'd find them under a rock.
|
48% Dixie, reflecting my having lived in many areas of the south as well as the midwest. I've spent more of my life in the south than the north.
Some people don't believe that I'm from the southeast, and I've actually been challenged on it, though never by somebody from the southeast, only by people from the northeast and midwest. |
I'm a Yankee, never did root for the Mets!
|
I'm "Barely Dixie." I blame in on being born in Cleveland.
But mostly I'm a hillbilly. LOL They didn't ask what that thing on wheels is that you put your groceries in as you gather them at the store. Is that a buggy, or a cart, or something else? |
#20 when I was a kid, we called them "potato bugs". Now the kids might say "pill or rollie pollie bugs".
|
Well, so far 16-9 for Yankees!
I had no idea what that bug was either. |
Beach, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous!
|
65% Dixie, hope so, I was born in Alabama, any less I would be ashamed ya'll....
|
41% Dixie...so a yankee...barely!
|
78% Dixie . . . 100% Cajun Redneck!
|
84% Dixie. Naturally. And you put your groceries in a buggy and your baby in a stroller.
|
46% Dixie - Barely in Yankeedom.
Interesting as I've lived in California all my life, and the score is roughly half/half?? I'm wondering if those little bugs are only found in the Western US?? Curious that those in the Eastern US don't seem to be familar with them. I remember them very well from when I was a kid. And we called them both Pillbug and Roly-Polys as well! |
Those little bugs that roll up when you touch them (my brother would touch them I never did) are not potato bugs. Potato bugs are horrible, lol.
|
91% Dixie
|
39% dixie which reflects my 100% NYS upbringing.
Didn't know the rollie pollie bug thing either. HA |
OK, I had to find out about this roly poly bug. Here's a picture:
