You must be from Southern Canada! Maverick
Aren't all Canadians southern Canadians?
(quickly explains before getting beat to death with hockey sticks: I heard that 90% of all Canandians live within 100 miles of the US border)

What! I scored 60% (dixie) "a definitife southern score"
But I am a third generation New Yorker; I have only seen the movie "Gone with the Wind " once; ( all right, I did read the book, too)
How is this possible?

50% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
But I can say "tar-pole-le-an", "A-rab", "um-brella", and "po-liceman" - I can even use them all in a sentence!
California farm counrty, settled by Dust Bowl refugees from all over.

Polluted, totally polluted, I say!
And Phantom, you really must stop swimming in the Willamette.

What a laugh - I was more dipsy (bbc teletubbies!) than Dixie and more LaLa and Po ( more teletubbies) than Yankee. We ahve very few of these terms over here but I tried to answer based on my memories from living in US as a small child.

I don't even need to take this test,,,,,,,,has anyone heard me on the telephone?? I am soooooooo Dixie, country, southern , Cajun, it is just plumb pitifull really. And, try as I may, the southern accent is thicker than grandma's gravey. But, I can tell ya a little something about us Southerner's, we love to have company , we love to feed ya, take ya to the local watering hole(bar) and we wouldnt have it any other way. In fact ya just might piss us off if you refuse our southern hospitality.........hehe.
