miked10270 0 #1 February 23, 2005 Take the test: http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelligencerreport/yankee_dixie_quiz.html Should be particular fun for the Non-US among us. Oh yeah... I'm 65% Dixie....

mr2mk1g 10 #2 February 23, 2005 61% dixie... although arround half the answers were not at all applicable. eg 20 is a woodlouse... I went for "Pill", as you there is a type of woodlouse known as the "Pill woodlouse"... still not exactly applicable though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #3 February 23, 2005 "eg 20 is a woodlouse... " I reckoned they were more like wee millipede chappies that were pretty common in my apartment in Houston, a Californian pal of mine in Houston used to call them curly wurlies, which was just plain wrong. We call woodlice 'slaters' up here. I got 53% Dixie, but then again, we speak an entirely different language way up here, just ask Mike.

Shotgun 1 #8 February 23, 2005 QuoteI reckoned they were more like wee millipede chappies that were pretty common in my apartment in Houston, a Californian pal of mine in Houston used to call them curly wurlies, which was just plain wrong. It's called a roly poly, dude. And I am 66% Dixie... surprised I'm not more since I really am from the South... though if I change my drive-through liquor store answer to "party barn" my score changes to 89% Dixie. (We had lots of drive-through liquor stores in Texas, and they often said "party barn" on their signs, but I don't recall ever referring to them as anything other than the "drive-through liquor store")...

Kennedy 0 #17 February 23, 2005 OK, most of my answers were the "northeast and great lakes" category. The only ones that weren't were: the addressing a group question- they didn't have "youse guys," so I picked y'all (a true Jerseyan never just says "youse") and the rolled up bug quesiton- It's a PILLBUG DAMNIT!! ok, just figured it out, it was the Brew Thru question. I really don't know why that outweighs the entire rest of the survey. Oh well. I rated 57% dixie. That's ust funny becuase I am the epitomy of a "damnyankee."

Kennedy 0 #18 February 23, 2005 I had no problms whatsoever with scots' English, as long as they were speaking English. After I don't know how many pints the bastards switched to fuck knows what language. (it's all good though, they took my back in what could've been a very messy, very one-sided brawl) The single worst "English" I have ever heard has got to be the noise that comes out of most Caribs' mouths. Jamaicans being some of the worst offenders, of course.
