No it's not. I think you can legitimately argue about whether Kentucky is Southern or not, but there is no way Ohio is part of the "The South." That's just crazy Minnesotan talk.

Agreed.

Whoever heard of someone calling Cleveland a southern city?? :blink: They're "the heart of it all"

86% Dixie, but I don't agree w/ alot of their answers unless it was written by a Yankee anyways.

For example, a doodle bug is the little bug that makes those little craters in sand under the porch or trees. It's not a rolly polly bug. And I ain't never heard anyone call TP'ing a house anything other than TP'ing a house here in the south and they said it was from the Great Lakes area? C'mon.

86% Dixie...

I guess my "dixie" is muddled a little bit by the fact that I come from an urban area (New Orleans) and that I come from southern Louisiana, which isn't exactly like the rest of the south.

[/quote] I was born in the North, but after 40 years in the South, I've been naturalized. So what's a doodle bug to you? I'm still offended about the TP'ing thing. I always thought there was 1 Great Lake. Lake Okeechobee.

98% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

98%??? Where did I go wrong?? 2% yankee is totally unbearable, my life is over.

Seriously, I was surprised that the term 'feeder road' was so localized.

I always thought the great lake was Lake Pontchartrain... with a 24 mile bridge right over the middle of it.

A doodle bug? :idontknow:

99% Dixie.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I was born in Southern Illinois but raised in Mississippi so I've been "Southern" for most of my life. All my professors in college look at me funny when I say yes m'am/no m'am or yes sir/no sir, but that's just how I was raised to adress an adult or authority figure.

P.S. We allways called it "rolling" in Mississippi. :idontknow:
