I used to use feeder but since I've moved to California, I didn't see one for so long it just went out of my vocabulary. Funny, since I was born in Texas and lived there until I was about 26 - 44% Yankee. All I have to do is say "yall" and people know I'm from Texas.
It's "fixin' ta!" Yankee! When I was a kid, I always thought that "feeder" was the name of the actual road. "Dad, there sure are a lot of roads named feeder...how does everyone keep track of them?"
In Mississippi, everywhere you looked there was a "frontage" road. When I was young, I thought that must be an amazingly long street... and how come it kept going so close to the highway? And was that the same street every time you came to a new town, or just that same long road again?
no you're not the only one. i used doodle bugs when i was younger, but now i use it interchangeably with rolly pollys.
btw, how do pronounce... pecan? is it "puh-cahn" or "pik-can"? just something i got made fun of while living in georgia last year. i pronounce it "puh-cahn". got made fun of for pronouncing "aunt" as "ahh-nt" too. oh well.
I think the high Dixie scores for the Californians and Yankees probably stems from long exposure to Texans on this board. Btw, I got 70% Dixie. Can't wait to see how naturalized my Yankee wife has become.
Remember OmegaSupreme, a pecan is a delicious nut that is used to make a pie... A peecan is what a father makes his son use when they're on the freeway and he doesn't want to stop...
My wife says "Peee-can," and it drives me nuts. Then again, I say "pah-migiana" instead of "parmigiana," and it drives her nuts. (BTW, my Yankee wife scored 52% Dixie. In time, she WILL turn. Muh ha ha ha!!)
70% Dixie Would you believe it was not until high school that I learned "Fixing to" was not proper English? I was shocked when it was not in the dictionary.
89% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors? I've lived in Los Angeles for 7 years...and most people tell me I don't have a "Texan" accent. But I grew up in Houston/Corpus Christi.
You "wrap" presents. As for houses, my mom calls it "rolling". I always heard "TPing". But that wasn't in Texas....
