Are You a Yankee or a Rebel? - alphaDictionary * Southern Accent Test

This was my score: 89% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?

I scored VERY similar!
One though that I was wondering about and want to get some Alabama input is this one on the advanced test:
What do you call that bug that rolls up in a little ball when you touch it?
In Texas where I grew up, we always called them "doodle bugs". Roly-poly would have been my second answer... |

I am...53% Dixie. Barely in Dixie.
I was born in the South but lived most of my life in the Chicago area. So it's about right.

LOL Roly-poly was a VERY close second.
What do yankees call them? *curious*
The OTHER one that got me was the sandwich thing. When I was growing up, "Po'Boy" was what we called them. BUT...this was a day and age that "fast food chain" places didn't exist in my part of Texas. In other words, my momma would make these things and that is what she called them. YEARS later, "SUB" joints filtered in down here...and over time, they became known as "subs"
But to me? In some ways they will ALWAYS be 'po'boys'   |
