Quick test for regionality
Have you seen this website? http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/yankeetest.html
Have some arguments with it, but fun anyway. Would propose a couple of other questions, too.... |
76% Dixie (pink neck!)
|
I got 76% Dixie too...
Sort of makes me proud because I've never felt particularly "southern", but I'm proud of where I come from. (That said, I'm happy to be living in Yankee territory now) |
Scored 47% barely yankee yet I was born and brought up in New England. Have to admit though I've lived up and down the east coast so I guess I'm a neuter!!!!
Now living and retired in the great state of Montana. |
Hey, that was pretty good! I 'just barely Yankee' (50%) which would seem strange since I'm Canadian but we spend a lot of time in the southern US and lived in NJ for several years.
Still, there were a few answers where it could be two of four. |
Huh! 40% full Yankee, although a lot of my answers were "Great Lakes." I don't even like the question about what you call a group of people ("you-all," "y'all", etc.) because I grew up saying just "you," with no "all" whatsoever. But after a long time in NC, I do say "y'all" from time to time because I think it's useful and gentler when you're saying something like, "we may get hurricanes but y'all get earthquakes." :-)

Definately a Yankee here. Fun quiz!
|
another Yankee- at 33%! That shouldn't surprise me. Fun quiz- sent it along to friends, both North and South.
|
43% Yankee (Barely) Well, thank goodness
as I've been a Westerner my entire life ! AZ,CO&CA, with a brief year in Boston. Test leaves out about half of the US-with a brief nod to CA on the soda question. Love to be in on the new an improved re-write version! :) R5 |
76% pink neck.
I'd add in a question: What do you call the wheeled contraction in the grocery store? A. Cart B. Basket C. Buggy D. Other |
48% Yankee (barely Yankee). :0) that was fun! I was born and raised in Vegas, however we have so many people moving here from "everywhere" that we get/hear/use a broad range of terms. I have to say though, that it IS definitely a sub sandwich NOT a hoagie! :)
|
60% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line
Interesting quiz. I was born and raised in NE Florida but spent summers in Ohio. |
Buggy!!!
|
Oops for the typo. I guess I'd use the sort version?
I use a buggy and take it back to the cart corral. |
I got "25% (Yankee). You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy."
|
Yankee Doodle Dandy! 26% here.
|
49% Barely Yankee. considering that I have lived all my long,long life in the Deep Deep South, I must be one mixed up person. Maybe it has something to do with living in a port city with lots of tourists.
|
22%-no wonder my new coworkers in OR call me the Cranky Yankee! Guess it will be years before the Jersey is out of me!
|
I'm from Ohio and being a southern wannabe my score of 54% makes me so proud I could actually eat grits.
|
Pretty interesting! It got me right at 43% barely Yankee. I was born in Boston of Bostonians but raised in rural town in Maryland and married a man from a rural town in Kentucky.
