better than playing with the black adder that plays dead with its tongue hanging out when approached. that's just a harmless little hognose! The worst they'll do is musk you.

On advanced: 8. What do you pack for travel? D. My spouse packs for me. RESULT: Mine does, too. (I just had to know what it said - since I am presently packing for my hubby) Advanced - 29% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.

You southerners are odd... Aren't you glad you live far northwest of the mason-dixon line?

That test was a humdinger...
My first job out of college was "up north" - I got some funny looks when I responded that I was "fixin' to" accomplish a specific task. Moreso when I said I was headed to the teller window win-dur.

When I worked in CA in the late 60s, I said "rubber bands" and got laughed at (along with much more I said). I remember having to repeat almost everything I said.

Advanced: 63% Dixie. Well under the Mason-Dixon Line
Probably doesn't help that I lived out West for 5 years and learned to not say interstate but freeway, not eye but burner (stove), not buggy but cart, not ya'll but you all or you guys, etc.
