44% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

That surprised me...born in AZ grew up in SD...but I've lived in AL, NV, CO and WY. And I don't know if it's a good or bad thing but 3 weeks in VA and I'm slipping and saying Ya'll (My brothers will never let me hear the end of that!). In the rural areas of SD everyone waves at every passing car too like Lady Violet said and it's just plain rude if you don't...or you're a Touron (tourist/moron) from somewhere else. Wink

And if you don't know someone who's hit a deer with their car you're not from SD either. Razz

5% Dixie. You are as dandy a Yankee as they get!! LMAO

I have lived in CT, NH, Florida and traveled all around the country. When we lived in Florida I was in grade school. My second grade teacher wanted to fail me because I refused to say 'ANT' I say 'Aunt, rhymes w/want'. I told her 'No its not ANT, you step on those!' Of course I didnt fail since my mom went in and did whatever moms do at that point of frustration.

Too funny about the Aunt being ant vs want. Glad your mom went and stood up for your right to have a regional accent!

I'm Aunt-Ant, for sure. Hearing Aunt-Want is one of those words that, to my ears, sounds like a speaker who comes from a life of butlers and chauffers, lol!

Around here we have some that say Aunt-Tee (Like want...think "want-TEE" with the accent on the TEE)...all that to say Auntie!

How's your auntTEE? She down by your maman dem's today?

LOL!

Hey. over here in NORTH Uk it is definately auntie....as in ANT TEE. No ANTS or W(ANTS). Down South it is ARNTEE. Guess whatever floats your boat is ok but some sound more upper crust than others.Variety is the spice of life after all.

Geez, does Southern California count as deep south? lol... Haven't really lived anywhere but West Coast. Hmm...maybe that bit of Dixie is from Eastern Oregon...got a bunch cow pokes over there with rodeos, pick up truck and gun rack...and they use a bit of that "y'all"...hmmm.

Being on the West Coast...I know that a few of the expressions are interchangable...for example...the carbonated beverage is recoginized as Coke, Soda, Pop, Soda Pop, etc.

Not all of us Southerners have a gun rack or a pick-up truck! Shocked

Although, in these parts, I have seen my fair share! UGH!

PTT, my lovely Julie, I can't include Southern Cali as part of the deep south. Wink

Nice try!

When I lived in So CAL, people I would meet always asked where do you live? I knew what they meant but always answered with a little extra southern draw Southern California.....then I would say, Oh do you mean where am I from? Cool

Pfffft! If you go elsewhere and say SoCal, people do NOT expect a drawl! LOL!

Did I fail to mention that in Eastern Oregon, they also make their own beef jerky, catch rattlesnakes and skin em' and Summer employment is driving Combines (for you city folk...they look like big ol' tractors Razz

).... see, we are clearly lacking the charm of the deep south but we make up for it in "hick-like" behavior...lol

ROFL "hick-like" behavior! Goodness, don't let those Yankees hear you accuse them of having "hick-like" behavior!! Shocked

29% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy

Had a few to guess on. Din't really know what we call the bug that rolls up around here and not too sure what the road next to an interstate would be called but have heard the term access road around here.

A drive through liquor store? Never ever seen one of those.

I'd never heard of a drive thru liquor store either until Yankee Man mentioned it... I think those are a good reason why those Yankees can't drive! Razz

I think the drive through liquor stores are a midwestern phenomenon. We used to go to them all the time for sodas, snacks and of course the adult beverage (they were put in the trunk.) They were effectively snack and beverage drive throughs - except you actually drove through it (they were usuall converted garages).

I don't see them up here in New England at all, unless I missed something. Smile

There used to be quite a few up "Nawth" but not as much. Jersey has plenty! LOL!

That's what Yankee Man said, the adult beverages were in a brown paper bag and had to remain unopened. Yeah, right, like that happened! ROFL!
