Are You A Rebel Or A Yankee?

Didn't think you'd score so high BR :biggrin:
Actually I would have scored higher if they had given a choice of the pronunciation of ?aunt? as ?ain?t,? for example. And there was no choice of ?Co-Cola? as the carbonated beverage we Southerners like to drink. This questionnaire was obviously written by a Yankee.
 
I'm barely a yankee........................and I mean barely ;-)
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm is that good or bad???????? :confused:
 
100% Yankee (born and raised in Massachusetts) with immigrant Polish and Italian roots (is that still Yankee?). But as soon as I stop wearing socks with my sandals in the winter when in SoWal I'll consider myself at least 25% rebel... :cool:

Yeah, my husband never goes barefoot; he puts on his shoes as soon as he gets out of bed, regardless of the season - he's a true Yankee. I despise wearing shoes, and only wear them in the house if we have guests, so I totally can't relate to socks with sandals. When my daughter was at MIT, she wore flip-flops even in below-zero weather; YAY, I RAISED HER AS A TRUE SOUTHERN GIRL!
 
barely Yankee (49%), tho I was born in Vermont. Guess that all those years in Birmingham helped convert me. (Tho I must be one of the few here who grew up knowing about "cabbage night"--a real Vermont expression --my sister's birthday is on "cabbage night" and it was horrible for her growing up) My husband (39%--a "real Yankee" ) grew up in Boston, but he learned a few things in Bham. Funny thing is my colleagues at my college think of me as "very southern". I take that as a matter of pride.
