peregrinerose 0 #26 February 23, 2005 I'm 38% Yankee. But it made me laugh that all my answers came up as very Great Lakes/MI and PA regions. I lived in Detriot til I was 7, all my family is there, then moved to Western PA, so You'ins is a part of my everyday language. That test got it right for me.

mr2mk1g 10 #30 February 23, 2005 Dearest Redneck Son, I'm writing this slow because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your Dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles of your home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the last Arkansas family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn't have to change their address. This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure it works so well, though. Last week I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain. We haven't seen them since. The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days. About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle Billy Bob said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. Bubba locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out. Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is yet so I don't know if you are an aunt or uncle. The baby looks just like your brother. Uncle Bobby Ray fell into a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated, he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Butch was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down. There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much out of the normal has happened. Your Favorite Aunt, Mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Yankee is someone from the northeast that may on occasion visit the south. A DAMNyankee is one that visits the south and stays.

I was on an extended visit to Alabama, and I was called a damnyankee on both my first and my last day there. "American by birth, damnyankee by the grace of God" Go Yankee pride. Well, I guess rednecks can't even kep their own "southspeak" words straight, because there were plenty of rednecks calling people "damnyankees" without having any clue as to whether they were driving through or lived there.

Well, I start to understand the system behind the system: My mother is Russian. You Russian guy lived in Texas. I lived in Canada. THAT's explanation for all: You're much more Yankee b/c you live in the South, I am less Yankee b/c I lived in the North. But there are Russian roots! That's it! Or vice-versa?
