It's pretty damn accurate.

My result:
82% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?


My favorite question was:

13. What's that road along an Interstate highway?

Frontage road
Service road
Access road
Feeder

I selected Feeder and it's all YOU LIVE IN HOUSTON!!!111

They should ask how you pronounce "water" ... "wah-ter" or "wudder."

SINTIK SAYS WUDDER.

I was looking for that. If I checked it, it would say "You live in Philadelphia."

and what the hell is wrong with the rest of you people IT IS TP'ing and nothing more

17. What's it called when you throw toilet paper over a house?
<picked this one> TP'ing
Toilet papering
Rolling
Papering
RESULT: Used heavily in Great Lakes and Midwest region

[Hulkein]

It is pronounced wudder ya uneducated fools. I got 55% Dixie.. My mom lived in Alabama a few times when she was a kid, and my whole pop-pop's side is from Alabama so I also have some family there.

[peam]

53% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

Well, I do declare.

[pennywise]

94% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?

damn, and I always figured that I didnt speak much like a southerner.

[Wezas]

49% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

I guess Northern VA is pretty damn close to the border (VA being south, MD being north)

Also, Devil's night was in "The Crow", which is where most of my friends learned about it. Not necessarily a "Michigan" thing.

[Betheny]

Huzzah.

No yuppie can sing 'Baby Got Back'. Especially while sober.

[HarmNone]

Heh.

57% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

They got me! :D

HarmNone

[Drew2]

At least I'm not the most Southern here.

/laugh at pennywise

[Vixen]

Heh 78 percent dixie. It nearly scared me when The Brew Thru question put me in Va or NC.. I laughed

Jani
definitely dixie

[pennywise]

chicks dig the southerness.

[Skirmisher]

42% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

I guess NJ is that...kinda.

And yeah, this chick at least digs the southern accents.

[TheEschaton]

47% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

I guess being WNY raised makes this accurate. I *did* get a lot of the "Used in the Great Lakes" answer.

-TheE-

[Souzy]

There's a drive through liquor store?????

46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

[Skirmisher]

Yah, and chicago has drive thru tobacco stores.

[Hulkein]

We have some drive-thru beer distributors.. But in PA a store can't sell both liquor and beer, one or the other.

[TheEschaton]

Yeah, in the south. my friend moved to Texas and informed me of this incredible fact a few days later.

I mean, in WNY, you can buy alcohol (mostly beer and those fruity drinks like hard lemonade) almost anywhere, from a gas station to a grocery store to a convienance store (in MA, all the alcohol seems to be limited to liquor stores, even beer). But a drive through liquor store?

That stikes me as a bit fucking stupid. They must have huge disclaimers "Do not drink this until you get out of your car, you dumb redneck!" just to stay out of legal trouble.

-TheE-

[Caiylania]

72% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!

Georgia baby.

[Souzy]

See, I lived in Charlotte for about a year & never saw a drive through liquor store. I know they sell liquor in gas stations and such. I've never seen a convient store in MA sell liquor. But, that would be awesome if they did that up here. The only drive throughs I've seen up here are fast food & pharmacy drive throughs, heh.

[Mistomeer]

80% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!

Heh, where I live you can't buy liquor and beer from the same store. So if you go to the grocery store, you have to go elsewhere for the wine. And I've never seen any drive through liquor stores. However, there are a couple of drive through tobacco stores around here.

[Latrinsorm]

Centered heavily on New York City and New Jersey.

DAMN RIGHT

46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Ho-bags. I'm sure this is because I say y'all. And I've never heard of those bug things. My redneck relatives in Upstate definitely say "crick" for "creek" though, haha.

[Myshel]

89% Dixie.. well shut my mouth

[Ardwen]

Born and raised in Boston. Live in New Hampster. I'm so yankee I still shoot at people with rebel flags.

40% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.


<<Born and raised in Boston.>>

w00t. My accent is very, very much Bostonian.

[Shari]

53% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

I am somewhat suprised by this. Both my parents are from Pensylvannia and I live in AZ. Weird.

[GSLeloo]

49% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

[pennywise]

In my experience, the drive thru beer places seem to be most commonly called Beer Barns.

[Anebriated]

Brew-Thru is along the beaches in North Carolina, Outer Banks... good place.

Both parents are northerners, and all of the family. In VA, so I guess I'm fairly close to the mason-dixon.

[Bobmuhthol]

Bonus points if anyone understands the percentage scoring.

[Hulkein]

?? I probably don't get what you're asking exactly but it's pretty much a 'are you a southerner' quiz, seeing as the lower the percentage is Yankee and the higher percentage is Dixie.

[Bobmuhthol]

Yes, I know what it is, I just think the scoring was innovative.

You start out with 50%, questions either add or subtract, if your final score is < 50% you're a Yankee, > 50% you're a Dixie, and the further you are from 50% the more of a Yankee/Dixie you are.

People don't share my fond interest in awesome things like this.

[Ilvane]

61% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

I have been born and raised in Boston, go figure. Most people say I don't sound like a Bostonian at all. This might explain it! :P

This thing is not awesome.

[Soulpieced]

I swear I want to smash the windows of every car I see an OBX sticker on. Nobody cares if you've been to North Carolina.

Not to continue on my tangent (wait, yes I will) but is anyone else disgusted by the role they have Ric Flair in now?

[Mint]

WTF...I haven't been south of Washington state since I was a baby:

63% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

[Parkbandit]

43% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

12 years in Florida is RUINING ME! I knew what a roly poly was :sniffle:

[DianaBanana]

53% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

I was born on Long Island and have lived in NJ since I was 6. I dont know how this happened!!!

Perhaps if they had asked the question, what do you call the beach, and I could answered with "the shore" I would have scored yankee.

I declare this test innacurate.

Agreed, you're not special if every third car has one. Only bumper sticker I ever had was a "Cartman" picture on my old beater.

Brew-Thru also in Ocean City, MD.

My grandparents live in Southern Maryland, and there's a "Jimmy's Cut Rate Liquor" right down the street with a drive-thru alcohol pickup.

<redneck>
My dad often comes back from the store with a 5-pack. I keep telling them they don't sell 5-packs, but he swears by it.
</redneck>

[Galleazzo]

Yeah, the test is fucked up. I never lived south of Connecticut and it gave me 39%.

Now if it was a real test it'd have the REAL name for that bubbly carbonated drink. It's called "tonic."

:grr:

Easy too explain. Dustbowl Hicks.

39% = Strong Yankee. How is that fucked up?

Wish I understood your explanation. No dustbowls in Washington state....

[Marl]

94% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?
well it is pretty good since i have been in GA for 20 years

[Shari]

Get this, in PA (or at least where the rest of my family lives) you can only purchase alcohol until 9pm. 9:01, you're screwed. And you can only buy it in liquor stores.

In AZ, you can buy liquor ANYWHERE, and there is no time restriction. I tell this to my cousins who still live back east and they are awed.

[Vesi]

82% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

Yes. Which is why I can't understand why my score isn't a 100%. I've never been further north than KY. I even had grits for supper tonight! Who wrote this test and what were their motives? ;P

Ah well...

Vesi

[longshot]

I'm a yank.

I thought it was a pretty good quiz.

Dead on with "Devil's Night".

You have to love a city where the yearly tradition is to try and burn it to the ground.

[MPSorc]

88% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

How yall doin? And just for information sake, in Texas i have seen several drive through Beer Barns, and the name of the places was "Beer Barn". Although i prefer not to shop at them because usually a short ways down the road (binocular distance away) there is a highway patrol watching the place, lots of DUI's.
