Do you call what you put your groceries in at the store a shopping cart or buggie?
Jeremy from California says shopping cart, but we all know down here it is a buggie.
Do you call the meal in the middle of the afternoon lunch or dinner?
My grandparents(Southern Alabamians) always said it was breakfast, dinner and supper. I was always confused when they would call us in to eat.

No one would ever order one grit. And like me some grits, especially with bacon in it (no sugar), but maple syrup is allowed. Garlic Cheese Grits (Louisiana) are awesome!

the meals of the day are

breakfast, dinner, super

you go to the grocery store and get a shopping cart or a buggie (prob usually a buggie).

You go to the gas station when you need somethin small, not a corner market, or nothing like that

We were called kids.

and coil is pronounced cool.

Iron is pronounced Ieuhrn

and its ketchup... gag.

Would you find it strange to see an older lady dippin snuff?

78% (Dixie). You are a solid Southerner!

i don't care for grits much, every now and then

all my great grandmothers dipped snuff, so i am not surprised just disgusted. yuck...

and i say pen and ten, like tin. (that bothers me too ;)

sorry brent but i guess i am not that southern, it's wash, corner, and four for me, i tend to change my accent when around family. strange??

how do you say right? catch?

36% Yankee
I'm from Michigan (Just in case you didn't see my name below :)

I call it a crEEk or a stream (depends on how big it is)

groceries are from meijer or just the store

quickie items are from the gas station

I have ordered grits and I do like them, but I don't think you can order just one (can you?..I am a yankee!)

Referred to as a kid when growing up.

Yes I use ketchup..no cow tipping though

If there is snow, nothing really changes we still keep going to work, meetings and anything else you normally do.

breakfast, lunch and dinner (unless you ask my dad)

seen old ladies dippin snuff when I worked unassigned territory in TN, but not too often up here.

Yankee question: Have you ever tried to order a "pop" in the south? :)

hmmm... honestly doesnt pin and pen sound the same, i've tried to think how it would sound different, and well can't figure it out

honestly i much prefer a southern accent its more relaxing, can't think of any part of it that gets on my nerves, honestly what gets on my nerves is when a southerner tries really hard to speak "proper"

and brent I dont say none of those things... but i'm big on double negatives, a southern tradition.

RIte (heavy on the I)
We like our I's here... oh well

cetch no use of a for me.

Its sad though, my job has taken the southern accent from me much, as has Huntsville, I used to be so much more southern... tis a shame

I agree southern accents are very cool... unlike us up north...We talk fast and run our words together or mumble.
A northerner trying to speak southern can be very annoying too.

34% Yankee

50% Yankee (No Jeremy I don't count that as 50% dixie)

CrEEk or stream
grocery store since I moved to TN, used to be just store (born in FL)
Gas station
Grits

I was referred to as a kid.

It is a shopping cart.

Hate the whole dinner for lunch thing. My in-laws always say that and I get so confused when talking with them.

MacKenzie and Paris will never say the words - reckin, yonder, hows-come, fixin to, plum, and every other "country word" they may pick up, no matter how hard Kevin tries.

I can't believe when Kevin talks to his family or some of his school friends at how heavy his accent gets. He is like listening to a different person and his test came out only 53% Dixie.

I'll try my hardest to help Kevin.... Uncle Jerm will teach them there chillins how it best be speak. I recon you mayz not ever seez that... but ah well. Thats just how we'uns talk. So next time I'm up yonder, well we'll teach em kids some good vocabulary.

MacKenzie is picking up vocabulary just fine. She doesn't need you messing her up too. She is already trained on fire and is scared to death of it.

46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

We midwesterners are a funny breed...I've been trying to tell people over and over again that NE Ohio has a LOT of southern influences here.

And they missed an important question-on trash day, where do you put your cans/bags?

On the....
Treelawn?
Devilstrip?
Curb?
Front yard?

Think about that one...

57% (Dixie). Just above the Mason-Dixon Line

86% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

Yep I'm a country boy.

33% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.

Guess I am what I am...never lived south.

45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

That's right. . .I'm not from the country. I may have been born here, but my hearts in a city, preferably way up north.

i'm 74% dixie... and solid southerner.

71% dixie Corn Bread fed
When someone goes looking for game they are what?
hunting or hunt-in

they are hunt-un

39% Yankee, still a Northener at heart I guess.

66% (Dixie). Just under the Mason-Dixon Line

I'm 28% Yankee!!! And I'm from Michigan. I mainly got Great Lakes and Northeast results to all my answers!!! No big surprise..

oh and...
I lived by a crEEK as a kid, but once in a while we would call it a crick.

Groceries growing up were from Sams!!! (Big Family) Or from GFS, and milk from the local IGA.

Corner store for quickie items

Can't have grits... allergic to gluten :( Never had them though before I was diagnosed

Southern Question: Why does everyone freak out with the threat of snow, let alone a few flakes??

It does not even take a few flakes down here. The threat of snow will cancel schools, public offices, and cause massive chaos in walmart as everyone buys bottle water and batteries. Its a far cry from when I grew up in California. If it was not a white out (not being able to see past the front of your vehicle), the bus drivers were on the road and we had to go to school. Ahh, the good ol days.

"There goes the fire, theres the fire. I can't belive its hair. Man I woushed I hadda known that the fire would be hair." This is what I heard from my good friend from Mobile Alabama, After listening to her for about 30 minutes and trying to figure out what in the world she was talking about, I came to realize that she was saying that the State "Fair was Here". Now thats Southernnn!!!

100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

thats a shocker!!
