1. My Results

[nini]

2. 53% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line

Grew up in So. Cal but have southern roots in grandparents.

[Redstone]

3. The people who made that test have never been in New England.

If they had, they'd know that a REAL Yankee pronounces the word "creek" as follows: "Brook."

Redstone

[GrumpyGreg]

9. And for years we in Boston called soda"tonic".

[Redstone]

15. And in Boston (and Rhode Island), a milkshake is a "frappe."

It used to be that you'd get a frappe at the spa, too. Remember that one?

I actually saw a "spa" sign on a luncheonette in Newport RI not too long ago. Guess there are still a few around.

Redstone

[GrumpyGreg]

17. Istill slip up and say frappe. Grandkids look at me like I'm nuts.

There is a Moody Spa on Moody St in Waltham MA. The only one I can think of.

[Redstone]

20. Let me guess: Do you like potato chips with pickle juice poured on them?

If so, you're a REAL old-time Bostoner.

On edit: Even my younger Boston cousins still drink "tonic." It's not dying out.

Redstone

[GrumpyGreg]

23. I even remember when the Citgo sign was "Cities Service" but

I can't say that I ever had pickle juice on potato chips.

That must have been the Dorchester crowd ! LOL

[Redstone]

24. Nope. Not Dorchester, Cambridge. Garden Street, to be precise,

out near Fresh Pond.

Redstone

[GrumpyGreg]

36. As a true Bostonian I hate to break the news to you------------

Cambridge isn't Boston.

Growing up in Boston I considered Cambridge to be The Far Side.LOL

[liberaltrucker]

28. 95% Dixie. Song says it all

Oh I love those Colorado Rockies and that big starry Montana sky
And the lights of San Francisco on a California night
Enjoyed those ballgames in Chicago on those windy afternoons
It's a big beautiful country but I'm never home too soon
If it ain't Dixie it won't do

If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
I've had good times north of the line
I've got a lot of good friends too
But if it ain't Dixie it won't do it won't do
< guitar >
When the leaves turn in New England I love the chill that's in the air
I've walked the New York City sidewalks had a big time in Times Square
But now my wheels are rollin' southward and heaven's comin' into view
Home sweet home is Alabama that's what I look forward to

If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like home...
If it ain't Dixie oh no oh no ooh
< guitar >
Now my wheels are rollin' southward and heaven's comin' into view
Home sweet home is Alabama that's what I look forward to

If it ain't Dixie it won't do.......Alabama-Can't remember the CD.

I think my answer of 'Hero' to What's that long sandwich with lots of cold cuts and toppings gave it away. I clicked hero, and it told me only mainers call it that.
