Good one K@t 5! Biloxi or the military must have done that to you !

I'm still laughing at our Italian member, Cornellia that is 72% Dixie!
 
Re: Do you speak Yankee or Dixie?

56% Dixie. Wonder where that came from... I've never been to the Southern parts of the US.
 
Re: Do you speak Yankee or Dixie?

41% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Re: Do you speak Yankee or Dixie?

What is Yankee and Dixie? I've some idea (yankee north and Dixie south?) but can anyone tell me what it's exactly.
O, I did the test and "46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category." lol :D

Yes, I love stars, your assumption about Yankee being north and Dixie being south is correct. It goes back to the American Civil War fought in the early 1860's. Northerners are called "Yankees" by people from the south. The southern United States got the term Dixie from several possible sources. The song "Dixie" popularized the term. Here's a link if you're interested in the origins of the term "Dixie" being used for the south.

It's an American thing. Hope this helps.
