lilyjohn Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I guess 32 years in Louisiana did influance me after all. I got 62% Dixie of coarse both my parents coming from Arkansas could have something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laban Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 That's funny. I'm originally from Wisconsin but have lived in Florida for 30 years. I've been with Bill for almost 20 and he is a TRUE Southerner. I'm a 46% Yankee and still proud of it even though he tries to made me a Dixie chick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 I scored 81% Dixie. I've lived my entire life in the south and can't understand why my score wasn't even higher...lol! I guess I have some Yankee in me by marriage, as Dennis was from Queens, NY. While taking the test, I had to actually stop and think about the terms that I used all my life versus the terms Dennis taught me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyka69 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 How can I only be 38% Yankee? I'm a native New Yawka! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Nearly 90% Dixie for me, and "dern proud of it too"! Harry is a Yankee, thru and thru! We always say that it's just the like Civil War all over again here at our house at times!! He says my accent sounds like I have a mouth full of marbles, and I tell him to practice saying "PaRk the caR on the DollaR", instead of "pawk the caw on the dolla"!!!!

Ann Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Nova...I got such a kick out of your post! That all sounds so familar to me, since I was a Tennessee girl and Dennis was 200% Yankee. You know, the first 6 months of our relationship was spent trying to figure out what the other one was saying...LOL. It wasn't just the way the words were pronounced. The slangs and terms were really hard to figure out. But, we finally got it all figured out and communicated just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev'sSister Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Mine said 100% Dixie. Then it asked if General Lee was my father! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 That's funny, Ann. I've grown sort of fond of my husband sounding like Rocky Balboa! He cracks me up sometimes! We had a short conversation a few days ago that went something like this: Harry: "Have you seen my "sneakers"? Me: "Your WHAT??" Harry: "My SNEAKERS" Me: "You mean the shoes that have soles on them that aren't flip-flops"? He also calls hamburger "Hamburger meat"... Blue jeans are "dungaree's" (sp?), and deodorant is "Underarm deodorant"... (Where else you gonna put deodorant, I'd like to know!!!???) You need a T-Shirt like I have. It says: "I love GRITS" on the front of it, which stands for "Girls raised in the South"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyka69 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Nova - As a New Yawka I consider myself an expert. I believe the correct pronunciation is "SNEEKIZ"! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Nyka69, Awww, you're RIGHT! I'm never quite sure how to spell what Harry says!! (It's like trying to learn a foreign language! hehe!) My G-Friend, (who is from Alabama) , calls him "YO Harry".... She laughed so hard the first time she met him, because he said "Yo, How ya DO-IN?" (He can lay it on thick, when he wants to show off!) He's from "Jersey", by the way.. (that's in New York, right? LOL! ) Take care, Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laban Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Nyka69 and Nova and Ann and All..... I had a good "out loud" laugh this morning reading all the replies, especially Nova, who I just love.

kamataca Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 66% Dixie. Never really thought about OK being 'Dixie', but I know I identify more strongly with the South. 10 years in MN must have taken the edge off of me, though. Your posts crack me up!
