How do you pronounce Aunt?

[lowbridge]

39% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.

I think I'll go sack Richmond.

[beeler]

He was opposed to the expansion of slavery. I'm not sure how that squares with his other beliefs/practices.

[JohnCliftn]

78% (Dixie). You are a solid Southerner!

[Vor Lady]

36% Definitely a Yankee.

[Vor Lady]

Cart of course!

[cyborg]

Anyone from America is a yanqui.

[deaconjim]

78% (Dixie). You are a solid Southerner!

I must admit that I spent a few years in military, but the 22% I got wrong must be due to the fact that I was raised in an Air Force town.

[Colt .45]

54% just below the Mason - Dixon line. I guess that would hold true as my ancestors come from Missouri. Like my tag line says, Pride in My Southern Ancestry.

[M. Espinola]

'6% (Yankee). Holy cow! Send this guy to Kennebunkport!'

That's ok, but do not send me in the dead of a coastal Maine winter (win-ta) :)

[GOPcapitalist]

97% rebel and proud of it!

[GOPcapitalist]

The Church at the Falls (Falls Church) was used as a stable by the Army of Northern Aggression. They actually ripped out Geo. Washington's pew, to fit more horses in.

IIRC they also burned down his boyhood home in Fredericksburg. Truly sad. And of course Falls Church more resembles Falls Mosque these days...

My score:
>>36% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.

Ugh! I'm a Red Sox fan (Beverly MA), so how can I be a Yankee? :)
I don't know the specific definition of a Yankee but:
--A _Connecticut_ Yankee in King Arthur's Court
--Yankee Magazine (New England)
--A yankee swap (probably New England)
--A yankee (term for a specific type of New Englander).

How the New York Highlanders got the name "Yankees" is
beyond me.

I do pronounce "aunt" to rhyme with "want". I pronounce
my first name as "Bawb" and a certain New England state
as "Vermawnt". Others might say "Bahb" and "Vermahnt".

Here's how I pronounce:

"What are you, retarded?"
= "What're you, retahhhhded?"

"The comic's name is Lenny Clarke"
= "The comic's name is Lenny Clahhhhhhhhke"

Curious that it said that "route" (rhymes with suit)
is "centered in Chicago" because I have a friend from
there who pronounces it to rhyme with "pout". I use
the former.

>>do not send me in the dead of a coastal Maine winter (win-ta) :)

Ayuh! ya can't get they-ah from he-yah.

[raccoonradio]

>>Anyone from America is a yanqui.

People from outside the US who visit New England might think it curious, then, to see bumper stickers saying "Yankees Suck"! (No, we don't hate ourselves...
just a certain ballclub...)

[raccoonradio]

I love Zell Miller's accent :)

[M. Espinola]

If I ever'a staaaart speak'in like'a Maaaine hick just throw me in the ooocean. Yuuup, it's nice up heeeer'a in the win'ta. (If one is an Eskimo)

[M. Espinola]

Remember this line from Mayor Kevin White?

"The City of Boston is the greatest city in the world!" (Especially if you were Kevin living like a king up on Beacon Hill)

[hmmmmm]

66% (Dixie). Just under the Mason-Dixon Line

Life-long Kansan here, KC area. I'm proud to be, even nominally, Southern. Usually nobody will claim us *L*.

[SAMS]

38% YANKEE! DEFINITELY A YANKEE!

[Melinda in TN]

"88% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?"

WooHoo!! I passed!
