Are you a rebel or a yankee?
Test your regional vocabulary.
I'm only 10% Dixie. Which means I am "as dandy a Yankee as they get!!"

"65% Dixie. Just under the Mason-Dixon Line."
Less than half of my actual answers were marked as Southernisms, but maybe they were weighted more. Most of my responses were marked as common throughout the US.
I think they're wrong with regard to the name for carbonated drinks, though. "Soda" is common all down the East Coast, not just the Northeast. In fact, when I was growing up we all thought you had to be some kind of DAMN YANKEE to call it "pop". It was only much later that I realized it's more of an East/West divide than North/South.
30% Dixie, though for many of them I could have chose multiple answers (roly-poly vs pillbug; soda vs pop).
I heart regionalisms.
10% Dixie, too. Dang. I wish it would've said 100% Midwest. Woot!
Haha 46% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.
