92% Dixie!  Yes, I am from Alabama...the Heart of Dixie. 

[GreatOwl]

40% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

And YES!!!!!!!!   It is called a bubbler!!!!!

[2NJSons_Mom]

49% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

I think whoever created the test should do some more research.  We call the night before Halloween 'goosey night' but I had to go with what was on the list. 

Thanks for posting it.

LOL!  I've never heard of a Holloween eve night name!   It's so funny how different demographics are so different across our country, but that's what makes US so interesting and blessed!

Dang if moving "up North" hasn't ruined me... only 63% Dixie

[Levi]

I haven't taken it yet. But I suspect it will be Dixie. I've lived in Tennessee, Kentucky, and now Oklahoma. My family on my father's side is from Texas. Tennessee from my mother's side. So I have southern roots.

I don't think I have any "yankees" in my family unless Missouri is considered Northern. My Grandmother was born there and I have some Aunt and Uncles there. But they are in the southern part of Missouri and they talk southern...

[Levi]

58% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

That is hilarious, because every time I visit a place not in the south, they always ask me what southern state I'm from. LOL

Where I lived in TN there was a lot of people from up North that retired in the small town. So I guess their "ways" rubbed off on me? LOL

[hotping]

66% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score! Yes I'm A Texas Girl!

Looks like Levi ended up barely a Dixie, like I did with Yankee.  I've never lived anywhere but NJ, but my mother was raised in Wisconsin (not that that had any influence on anything because she moved to NJ in the 40s before I was born).  We've had fun with cousins from WI, MA & friends who relocated to MO (who now sound like they were born & raised there LOL).  They think we talk funny and we laugh and tell them, NO, it's you that talks funny.  There's also a mix here in NJ, which I call 'regionalism'....we all don't sound alike.   I know that holds for the south, too, because I've worked with folks from many different southern states.

44% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Born in Brooklyn. Raised in Long Island and North Jersey...yup -- that's 'barely' yankee 

Must have been the 7 years in Dallas that factored into my score

[LouiseVargas]

My results say 61% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score! I was born in NY, and after I was six years old, I have been living in Southern California.

[LilPuma]

40% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.

Most of my answers came up "Great Lakes" or "common throughout the U.S." 

[Peaches]

76% (Dixie).  That is a pretty strong Southern score!

That's a hoot.  I grew up in the Midwest.  Nebraska.  Where the west begins.  Where men are men and sheep are nervous. 

I've lived in the south for the past 26 yrs but have also lived in northern CA and in the Seattle area. 

My daughter has no Southern accent.  My DH is originally from Chicago.  I don't say "fixin' to" unless I just have to but I find "y'all" immensely useful.

Bear in mind "Git R Done" sounds Southern but came straight outta the mouth of a Nebraska pig farmer, Larry the Cable Guy.

[pdh3]

I was 58% Dixie....what the heck?
I have lived my whole life in Alabama, except for 2 years in Chattanooga, TN. I was raised in Birmingham, so I think maybe the data is biased against Southern city dwellers....
Since I'm related to Jefferson Davis on my Mama's side, and her family has been in Alabama for over 300 years.....I'd say that's pretty Southern.

[SuzieQ]

65% Dixie

Born and bred in Virginia but have lived in Michigan and Florida.

[snoopy]

68% Dixie!!  I'm born and raised from the sticks south of St. Louis. Well it use to be the sticks anyhow.  Except I call soda sody.  Never heard of no night before Halloween thing.  We have a drive up liquor store, but didn't know there was a name for it. lol

[SunnyinTX]

68% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!  they didn't have a Texas score!  LOL

[vms]

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

Yikes!

[Dihannah1]

What I found interesting is, I took it from terms grew up with and taught my girls.   My oldest moved to NY and has learned a whole new language, that we joke about!    Sneakers vs  Tennis shoes,  Soda vs Pop, etc...  Of couse she took it both ways, (growing up and current) since she had to learn the NY lingo and of her more southern roots, so her score came up a little different under each test

Who here knew that New Yorkers do not use nor like Mustard!  They don't put it on anything, not even McDonalds does in NY!  When my SIL comes here, he has to specifically say "NO mustard", as he can't stand it and it comes automatically on most burgers here, as he found out the hard way.  My potatoe salad and deviled eggs are practically 80% mustard!  LOL!  They use NONE!  So my 4 yr old grandson is learning the best of both worlds, because his mom, loves mustard!  I really didn't realize the 'little' differences until then.
