100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!
While I have to change the way I speak for work, all I have to do is pick up the phone, call my cousin or my granmomma and you know exactly where I'm from.
Got a 31 percent Dixie. I suppose that makes me a northerner, but neither a Reb nor a Yank. That was then; this is now.

I took the quiz above and OMG was it way off about me. I am nothing if not a true Southern with a strong North Carolina accent. Granted it it only when I go home or speak to family back in NC. LOL
Lawdy mercy. I got 81% suthen. Anybody got change for a Confederate $20.00?
Well, I gotta couple a wooden niickels and a few chits for a free beer. Would that be a fair exchange?

For first one I got 28% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.
2nd test result, Northeastern.
Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.
Nailed it for me, I'm from Rhode Island.

Thing is, my accent changes depending on to whom I am speaking. When I speak to those New York bankers, I sound like a typical midwesterner. But when I talk to the good old boys running the bank down here in Texas, I sound like I have mud on my boots while climbin' into my pickup truck, y'all.

Greatgrandparents would be proud. Maybe thats what the guys at work mean when they call me redneck.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
