Are you a Yankee or a Rebel...fun survey - Page 4 - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

45% dixie...barely in yankeedom...

not sure why i didn't score lower...grocery "bag" and rhymes with "rout" were my only two "southern" responses...when i used to drink regular coke, i would always ask for a coke, no matter what the carbonated beverage was, but now that i drink diet coke, i always say "pop"...this kept me on the yankee side, thank goodness

:

out of curiosity, how many of you say "youse"? this is a term i grew up with and never even realized how bad it really sounded until a friend of mine brought it up to me and my family...

I grew up with "you" (sng) and "you" (pl). I hear "y'unz" on occassion, due to my proximity to Western PA.

I do miss Chicago-isms like "jagoff" and "you want to come with?" Oh and I knew a guy born and raised in Darien who used to pronounce Taco Bell as "TACK-oh Bill".

78% Dixie. Your neck must be a little pink!

My grandfather who is 98 and healthy as a horse wears a string tie. It was the DNA that made me this way, as Freddie Mercury used to sing.

54% Dixie....In our house, my wife and I still fight over they way we will teach our kids to say, "car-mel" or "car-a-mel"

captainmorgan07 · 04-14-2006, 11:08 AM

47% barely in yankeedom

Roy Tucker · 04-14-2006, 12:46 PM

46% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

I wanted to use drive-thru but it wasn't there.

I do say car-a-mel and my kids make fun of me. Sometimes care-a-mel.

I'm surprised they didn't have "you guys" for addressing a group of people.

71% Dixie. Your neck must be a little pink!

I grew up in southern Indiana. Lived there until I was 18.

I've lived in the south just about my entire life, and I've always said car-a-mel. Most people I know say it that way. When I heard folks say car-mel after I moved to TN, took a while to figure out what they were saying.

53% Dixie, which surprises me since, at this point, less than one quarter of my life has been down there.

South Carolina is the only state in the south I haven't visited, though I haven't seen much of North Carolina. Pretty much covered the rest.

Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
