    Mine: 45% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

    What? I don’t believe it! I was born in New Hampshire, have lived in Vermont, moved to Champaign long before kindergarten. I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life. 30+ years!

    35% Dixie, and I’m surprised it’s that high.

    Interesting note — it says “bubbler” is both southern Wisconsin and Massachusetts. I thought it was exclusively Milwaukee. Guess my brother and I imported it when we moved to Boston.

    My results must have been skewed by my having lived in the deep south: Melbourne, Australia.

    !5% dixie. duke of yankeedom.

    yeah sez you. i happen to know that working NYC is an island unto itself and has as about as much to do with being a yankee as miami is deep south and austin is texas. “i know there’s another world out there, man, because i see the tourists all the time — how crazy is that, to think about? another whole WORLD….”
