To find out how much Southern blood your speech shows, simply choose the words you use below, then press "Compute My Score!" at the end. alphaDictionary will compute your score and tell you where you're coming from: are y'all speaking Bubbaese or are youse guys Yankee Doodle Dandies? The higher your score, the deeper from the South you are coming.

I'm 51 percent Yankee -- I must have picked up a lot of speech habits from my Kentucky friends!

68% -- well below the Mason Dixon line! I'm surprised it isn't higher but I noticed several of my answers were common to the Great Lakes/Midwest. That's strange since I've lived my entire life in the south.
