Are You a Yankee or a Rebel?
27 Sep 2006
Another excellent quiz! It’s based on your pronunciation of words and it promises to answer the all-important question, Are you a Yankee or a Rebel?
I scored:
50% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.
Which is great, cos I’ve always thought that the Southern US accent is damn sexy.

100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!
NO, he wasn’t but we went crawdaddin’ for mudbugs (tie some bacon fat to some kite string and throw it in the muddy water, you’ll have a mudbug real quick!) in the ditches that ran alongside the railroad tracks and when someone said they wanted a coke, we’d always have to ask them “what kind?”
62% Dixie. Just under the Mason-Dixon Line
I’ll take it, considering my lifetime of Deep Southeast Texas living. I assume I can still be understood everywhere I go, even if I throw in the occassional Y’all. I’m glad they didn’t ask too much about Cajun influences, though. I have Louisiana dialect tendencies that would shame better men.
I’ve yet to meet someone who says “y’all” but I’m sure that when I do, my knees will just melt at how wonderful and gorgeous it sounds.
Is it a bad thing in the US to have a Southern accent? If so, then that’s the biggest shame there ever was :( Y’all should be proud!
