Seems a little counter-intutitive to me!

45% Dixie...Makes sense. I got a lot of the Western Great Lakes influence still, since I grew up in Chicago...Been living in the South since 88...
31% Dixie. I am a Yankee.
The weird thing is that a lot of my answers were for the New England area and/or the Great Lakes, specifically, and I've never been to either. Go figure.
It's crawdad, though I will say "crayfish" if I'm talking about a pretty one I want for my aquarium.
And it's pop. Soda is something made with ice cream and ... well, pop.

44% Dixie. Born in a suburb of NYC, raised by a southern belle and spent most of my adult life in Denver. More Cowgirl than anything else I thought.
85% Yankee! And the queastion about the sandwich I picked Italian sandwich and its called that just in maine! That suprisedme as I do live in maine. iIthought everyone called them a Italian sandwich
I was surprise to know that Po Boy sandwiched are from the deep south? My dad calls them po boys and he is from Norther Indiana!! LOL
46% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom. I was born and raised in Florida, but my family is all from tiny podunk towns in Western NY so it makes sense for me to be a total mix!
And about the drive thru liquor stores: For those of you imagining that you pull through and grab a beer or some mixed drink or something it's not like that at all. There's lots of them in Tallahassee near FSU and what you actually do is pull through and buy your 24 packs, kegs, and anything else in bottles. They're very popular in areas where there's lots of partying. But don't worry, the intent is not to drink it in the car!
What's funny is that y'all will probably become proper english in due time. The English language is always changing or else we'd all still be saying thee and thou and since y'all is actually a contraction (and mind you, all contractions were improper English at some point until we decided to officially add them to the English language) it will more than likely end up being a proper substitute for you all just like don't is correct for do not and on and on and on...

I did wonder about the drive thru liquor stores. I didn't know they existed!
78% Dixie- your neck must be a little pink!
55% Dixie. Barely in Dixie
I spent the first 23 years of my life in the Northeast USA and the last 23 years in Florida, so it makes sense. I see several things that I would have answered differently years ago.

Hmmmm...
I had no idea that drive-thrus weren't everywhere. There were two within walking distance of my house growing up, one about 5 mins from the next place I lived that closed because a new gas station went up across the street, and there's one within walking distance here and another a few minutes away.
The first one was called a carry-out, though. Now there's one across the street from my parents new apt. I bet there's about one for every ten gas stations everywhere I've ever lived (all in Ohio).
They are kind of notorious for not being as strict about carding. Like, if you go in a store with someone, they often card both of you here, but the drive-thru just asks for one ID, and it doesn't have to be the driver. And no, the intention isn't to drink it while you're driving, its so you can pick something up on your way to a party or on the way home, etc. They're often open later than gas stations too!
You make a good point about y'all, katspixiedust. English lacks a plural "you" which most languages have. "You" actually used to be the plural form.

We used to have a place not across the street from the bar i used to go to called daquori(sp) express where you actually could drive up and order any kind of mixed drink (as long as it was a daquori)Originally Posted by katspixiedust

It told me there is no category for me and I must be an alien!!!
60% Dixie.. I blame this on Louisiana. They say thangs funny down there. I say aunt like want, but can't like Caint, and po'boys, but it sounds like po'boais
And it's a Sammich, and a bun, not a roll, I pronounce the word soda like this "Coke"... there's more I'm sure, but what can you do.
