Pete...meet repeat....

Seriously though..."38% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee."

Carbonated Beverage is a Soda
It's called a Hoagie

& Carrie mentioned this... ;) Water is pronounced wooder, and an orange is pronounced Are-ange.

40% Yankee but I say "Soda", funny that it seems "Pop" is most commonly said in NY from Rochester and westward.

No idea what I got when I took this before, but that's what I got today.

Figure it's because I was born in a southern state, moved to a midwest state, moved to a great lakes state, and then moved to an atlantic seaboard/slightly northeast state which also encompasses the phrase 'mischief night' prior to halloween - which they state is common in New York and New Jersey.

Yeah....  that's it.  LOL

Jimmy you got it....'wooder' :)

Do you ever "make a pop"?  You will know exactly what that phrase means if you do!  I get made fun of mercilessly for that here in Missouri.  I'm a "foreigner" as they call people here that weren't born and raised in Hickville.

This was my response:

"wood er", I have never heard it said that way, I ussually say "waud er" but sometimes " wat ter", but I am not from PA ( thank God)

By they way why would anyone own a drive through liquor store, and who would use it, seems like the cops would camp out there?

Just picking Lizzie2

I wondered that too, since I got a 24% and it said I was a definite Yankee...but then I looked back at the top and it said the higher your score, the deeper from the South you are from.

So, uffdah, that makes sense since I have an irritating Minnesotan accent, then.

And I have no idea what that roll-up bug is...

I'm with Frank - California is a mix of everybody.  I don't say pop or soda, I'm all about cerveza.

Title: Yankee Confederate here!
Post by daniel_tn on Sep 3rd, 2005, 7:52pm
i'm an unreconstructed rebel yank. originally from boston. folks in the civil war round table thought i was some kind of a heretic, being a yankee confederate and all.
of course, living in the confederacy now, well i'm kind of at home. except i miss the ocean.
and having been on winstead hill today, and driving through franklin where very little of the battlefield has been saved/preserved - boy was i mad and upset. i get that way whenever i see the marker for general cleburne, and know that the site of his death is now the parking lot for a dominoes pizza makes me ill.
the lack of historical appreciation in the US is a sin.
sorry for the rant.
my excuse: i'm having shadows all day, and waiting to get nailed with the real deal. i hate CHs.
>:(
