Yankee or Dixie?
Are you becoming more Yankee or Dixie? Take this quiz to find out. I barely fell into the Yankee category, which is odd because I have lived mostly in the Southeast US since moving from the UK.

86% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?
Hmmm I know I am from the deep south ( Of Hampshire )

A lot of the terms that I would normally use from the UK seem to be southern dialect here and some weren't even on the list of choices! But the ones I knew for this area gave me a 'barely Yankee' status. If I hadn't been here for 5 years and learnt the local terms I would be a Dixie for sure

Me: 52% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category
Wife: (from Wisconsin) 36% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.
This thing is pretty good!

:lecture: 59 % dixie and coming over in November to work as a nurse. So whats this with throwing bog roll over the top of your house then. We thought we might have a go tonight with some charmin ultra, might be a bit radical for rural kent though. could always get tanked up first at the brew barn.
