67% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

I guess Missouri IS in the south, eh?

BTW - I do not believe the test this thread was started about is present at that link any further. Does anyone know if an existing version of this Yankee or Dixie test?

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!

56% Dixie. Wonder where that came from... I've never been to the Southern parts of the US.

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.
