Yankee or Rebel?

I just took this test and to my dismay I scored 44% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom. Yikes, I guess I’ved lived too long in the midwest! Time for a visit to see the grandparents.

Actually, I’ve lived here longer than I lived in New York. When I came out here to got to school I had some serious culture shock. Check out how I handled it. My responses are in italics.

“I’m fixin’ to go to the cafeteria”
Uh, what’s broke?

“I’m going to get a pop.”
Oh, get me one. I’d like a fugdesicle! And while your there, grab me a soda. Diet coke, please.

“Where are my tennis shoes?”
Why, you don’t play tennis? Wear your sneakers.

“Put that in the sack.”
Uh, don’t you mean the bag.

Those are just a few of the saying that had me confused for half a semester. What about you? Are you a Yankee or Rebel?

Where else have you expereinced culture shock. Maybe I’ll share how my visit to Africa really had me scratching my head and thinking, huh!
