I grew up down in Louisiana in a community of Okie transplants sandwiched in between the cajuns in the south and the rednecks in the north. Moved to Nashville in 84.

But damnit when the waitress asks me for a drink and I say Coke she better ask what kind! ...I usually go for Dr. Pepper.

Exactly!

28% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.

And they "din't" even ask about

"hover": (HUV-ver or HAWV-er)

"until" (un-TIL or in-TIL)

"whaddya call a knitted winter cap, maybe a bit elongated with pom-pom on the tip" (stocking cap, toboggan, or toque)

The correct! answer! Is! Toque ---pronounced like 2k or "Cuke."

It's especially a toque if it has fringes.

Extra-and-specially if you wear it to bed, my dear.

83% Dixie and I’m 60 miles north of the Ohio river in Indiana.

“Tp-ing” is Texan, not “wrapping.” No, you tp a house and you wrap a present.

You're either a youngun or a transplant. We wrapped houses deep in the heart of Texas in the early to mid 60s. I never even heard of TP'ing until I moved to California almost 10 years after I'd wrapped my last house.

You’re wrong on both counts.
