53% Dixie, which is probably right since my mom's from SC and my dad from NY. All my friends say I talk like a northerner(which basically means a normal person.)

99.9% Dixie!!! :D

Born and bred Bama boy right here y'all. You'd have to go way, way, way, way back to find someone in my family originally from the top half of the Mason-Dixon. ;)

Here's mine: 50% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

I say a lot of things up here that people look at me funny for...then I just say it again and make them feel like it's THEM that's weird. I get amused pretty easily in case you can't tell. I'm here at SECTalk all the time, aren't i? :rolleyes: ;) :D

50% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

Mom's from the Bronx and Dad's from just outside Boston, but I was born and raised in SC....so it makes sense.

84% (Dixie). Do you still use Confederate money?

Yep. I'm from Knoxville. My mom's from here and my Dads from the North. I'm suprised, honestly I don't exactly talk that southern.

And who calls a waterfountain a bubbler... seriously.

I go to Tennessee quite often and I have never met a single person up there that really sounded southern. I've heard people from Nebraska speak and sound more southern. :eek:

53% Dixie. My dad's side dates back to 1706 in the south, my mom, however, was born in brooklyn and didn't move to SC until she was 14. I think that explains some of it.....

Even after 25 years in Cali, I am still 79% Southern

Oh...by the way...just for you Rabid...

Johnny Yuma was a rebel
He roamed through the west
Did Johnny Yuma, the rebel
He wandered alone

He got fightin' mad
This rebel lad
He packed no star
As he wandered far
Where the only law
Was a hook and a draw
The rebel, Johnny Yuma

[Repeat 1st verse]

He searched the land
This restless lad
He was panther quick
And leather tough
If he figured that
He'd been pushed enough
The rebel, Johnny Yuma

[Repeat 1st verse]

Fightin' mad
This rebel lad
With a dream he'd hold
'Til his dyin' breath
He'd search his soul
And gamble with death
The rebel, Johnny Yuma

I searched my soul (but no computer files, alas and alack) to decide whether is was "y" or "ie" and finally (incorrectly, I see) decided on the "Sissie version". :o

Thanks for them ther' fightin' words. I actually remembered part of the first and second verse.

In SoCal they call it TP'ing. I passed a yard a couple of years ago that had been rolled during the night and I when I got home I told my wife, "Somebody rolled the Gaskill's yard." She had no idea what I was talking about. Later, when we drove by the yard, she said, "Look, somebody TP'd the Gaskill's yard."

Since most my original friends out here were surfers, I speak Southern and Brah lingo, but very little Californian.

99% (Dixie). Is General Lee your grandfather?

i answered everything truthfully, its pretty accurate. weve traced my family line back on both sides and literally everyone is born in either mississippi or Louisiana since my ancestors came off the boat from germany
