Are you a Yankee or a Rebel?

Here's a short test - http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/yankeetest.html

My score: "48% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category."

[NudistGuy47]

Definately a Yankee here! It may explain why I felt out of place most of the time I lived in the South.

nifocinphx, took the test and only scored 83% rebel and the test asked if I was still using Confederate money, my grandmothers would be ashamed of me for scoring so low. What happened to the other 17% is what I'd like to know?

You know what Sawmill gravy is.

You know what the phrase "like a duck on a june bug" means.

You get a new frock at the start of the new school year.

You know the difference between a square nab and a round nab.

You've used sidemeat to draw out the rust when you stepped on a nail.

38% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.

Course, here in Maine we never had cold Subs until Subway came to town. We had "Ham Hoagies" and "Italian Sandwiches". We don't have a front "yard", we have a front "door-yard".

Ayuh
