    Hmm. 65 percent Dixie... how embarrassing.







    I was "reared" in Texas, however, so I suppose it makes some sense.

    62% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!



    Born and raised in MS.

    57% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.



    I grew up mostly in northern virginia.

    Wow! I scored 73% Dixie. I'm really surprised. (shocked!)



    My dad was born in Wisconsin and was raised 100% "up north."



    My mom was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri.



    But as a family we lived for six years in Texas, and then generally in the western, southwestern US.



    (Oops! Except for three years in Mexico, three years in Tennessee, and three years in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska!)



    My dad was a geophysicist, and his work caused us to live in lots of different places.

    68% Dixie. I thought it would be lower in all honesty. I was raised in Texas but my mother is from Massachusetts. Plus, I've lived on the West coast for the last 9+ years.



    I have to admit I "lied" on the "ya'll" question. "Ya'll" is my first instinct but I have consiously moved away from it because people outside the South look at you funny when you use it. The proper second person plural is "you" but it just doesn't sound right; it sounds too personal for a corporate question.



    "Coke" versus "pop" or "soda" is another one I'm consciously changing.

    Hmm... 73% Dixie.



    Kinda high considering I'm from the southern midwest, not the deep south. I went with what I grew up with (crawdad) rather than what I use now (crawfish), though.

    he percentage given at the end of the test has absolutely nothing to do with the answers that you give.



    try it twice with the samae answers . . . . I new immediately that something was screwy when only one answer had even a semblance of southeast in it, while all the others were midwest and northeast or general and I still came out majority dixie . . .



    BTW . . . I just got back from Atlanta and I hated it!!!

    Went to a restaurant and ordered a Magarita from a menu that did not have prices for the Margaritas . . . the check came and it was 10 Dollars!!! . . . I had a few drinks and chiops and it came to 40$$!!!



    I would never ever recomend Atlanta for anything!!! ugly crowded yet desolate miserable city . . . . ugh!

    Just to reiterate my disatisfaction with my southern experience:

    THIS SAYS IT

    Well, the simple fact that there wasn't a question about what "yay" means is indicative of something.



    As for the fuckthesouth.com thing...you might consider the degree to which America has been shaped, and RULED, by the south.

    They left out my favorite plural which is "all y'all". I say it all the time.

    On my first try, I got

    "50% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category."



    Repeatedly pressing the "Compute" button (without changing anything else) increased the Dixie ratio up to:



    "100% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?"



    Maybe they found out that I'm neither a Yankee nor a Dixie
