plenzmd1 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Stupid little test, but says I am still a yankee. http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/yankeetest.html
Fezmid Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 28% (Yankee). You show a very strong Yankee score.
Campy Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 28% (Yankee). You show a very strong Yankee score. 311380[/snapback] Mine was 27%. I'd have thought that after 13 years in southern Virginia I'd be a little more "Reb," but I guess it stems from where you're raised, not where you live?
Fezmid Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I wanted to see this question: What do you call the utensil that cuts paper: A scissors A pair of scissors When I first moved to Minnesota, I noticed that everyone said "a scissors" (as in, "Can you give me a scissors please?"). Where I was working in '94 there was a woman from Pittsburgh, a guy from Cleveland, and myself. Everyone else fas from the midwest. Neither of them noticed the differentiation and April (the woman and manager) didn't believe me so she stopped everyone in the office, held up the pair of scissors and asked, "Everyone, what do you call this?" And the Minnesota people all said, "It's a scissors." She burst out laughing and I said "I told you!" When people say, "But there's only one scissors, so it's a scissors," I always reply with, "Do you wear a pants or a pair of pants?" That confuses 'em. CW
Like A Mofo Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I love #18 What's the night before Halloween called? Mischief Night Centered heavily on New York City and New Jersey My score: 33% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee. Its accurate
aussiew Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I scored 53% dixie - just "above" the Mason Dixon line. Interesting. I've lived in So. Calif., WNY, WI, PA and TX. Must have confused the scoring. But since I'm a political fence sitter, perhaps I'm a cultural one as well.
The Poojer Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 that was fun, 30% yankee Stupid little test, but says I am still a yankee. http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/yankeetest.html 311351[/snapback]
dib Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Well gosh all mighty. According to the test I am definitely a yankee.
Assquatch Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 We call the night before Halloween "Beggars night" but that wasn't one of the choices...
CajunBillsBacker Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 60% (Dixie). Just above the Mason-Dixon Line
FergsKU Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 31% YankeeSounds about right to me 311566[/snapback] 31% Yankee and now I live in Kansas City.
/dev/null Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 30% (Yankee). You show a very strong Yankee score.
Mikie2times Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 We call the night before Halloween "Beggars night" but that wasn't one of the choices... 311475[/snapback] Is calling it Devils Night just a Michigan thing? When I said it was Devils Night it said common to Michigan, all this time thats what I thought everybody called it.
mphs mike Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 48% (yankee) - barely holding on to yankee. I guess that's what 22 years trying cases in Memphis does to me!
