a fun quiz
jes sent this to me, and you should try it.
it measures how southern a person is.
or maybe how much of a yankee a person is. either way.

jes (born and raised in a suburb of atlanta) scored about 70% (i think) as did our friend kim (born and raised just outside of new orleans). it said they were southern enough to have pink (instead of red) necks.
i got about 50% southern. just under the mason/dixon line. not bad for twenty-six years in the midwest and only six years in the atl.
our friend sarah, who was born and raised in hattiesburg, mississippi got 90% southern. it asked if she still paid for things with confederate money. hilarious.
if you feel so moved, you can post in the comment section what you got too.
have fun.

I'm 50% Yankee. That makes sense, given that southwest Ohio is practically Kentucky.
My score was 66% (Dixie). Just under the Mason-Dixon Line. Good fun!
I wonder what made me so southern. I had no idea I had so little in common with my friends. I have a sneaking suspicion y'all call coke "pop" or some such nonsense.
well back in the day i called it soda
but now that i go to coca cola university and they pay all my bills and such, i have switched to coke
which makes me sad here in nyc b/c it is strangely pepsiland
I am 45% (Yankee). "Barely in the Yankee category."
My formative years were in the WVa area of Ohio, so "crick" probably played a pivotal role in my score.
