Do you speak southern?

85%, but then again I was born in Indiana.

85 percent. By the way, you folk ur jes' plane wired. That belly button question was bizarre. My Dad always called our dogs pot likkers, but that didn't seem to be one of the answers.

Actually where I'm from it was called "where the Indian shot you", but Yankee works too.

By the by, I've been called weird before too. 😛

90%

But the be fair, there are three southern "folkways"; the backcountry/Appalachian south settled by people from the borderlands of Scots-Irish descent, the tidewater/delta south settled by royalists from the south and west of England, and the African American south. My southern is a 25/65/10 mix.

Apparently I've been reading David Fischer 🙂

How about :
a pig in poke and a soke

Hint: poke = a small paper sack/bag

Hint 2: soke = a soft drink

I’m skeptical....

The “quiz” makes reference to a “belly-washer” and then states that a “soft-drink”(!!!!????) is the correct answer. What's up with that?

ALL soft drinks, pops or whatever in hell others call them are called COKE’S in southspeak.

B-)

Born in West Point (Mississippi), raised in Houston (Mississippi), and sometimes pronounce my state as "Miss'ippi". 😀

I’m skeptical....

I consider the term "belly-washer" to be an adjective describing and extra large coke.

I worry about those fine people in Fayetteville, Arkansas that claim to live in Fetvul. Where did the long 'a' sound go?

> I worry about those fine people in Fayetteville, Arkansas that claim to live in Fetvul. Where did the long 'a' sound go?

That sounds akin to near here regarding Marietta, GA.
It's pronounced "may-retta"
Same as DeKalb county pronounced "dekab" but not in N. Il.

Same as Albany, GA pronounced "albinny".

Lafayette, Alabama is pronounced La Fayette. Arab, Alabama is A rab. Louisiana is sometiome called Lose eiana.

I only got 2 out of 20. I thought that having lived in Alabama for all but 8 of my 57 years I would have done better!

I done good on the test, missed the belly-button question and proud of it. I’m from Virginia, and used to live in various parts of it, and found a lot of variety in the idioms and accents there. (Howard Nemerov said: “If poems are made by poets, then idioms are made by—o, never mind.”). But I did learn that “wretched” sometimes means “Richard,” as in “Ham me them snap-plars, Wretched.” Also that “muncie dough” is the door at the rear of the school bus, used in case of a muncie.

More famously—Foxworthy? Somebody older?—pointed out long ago that in the South, statements are questions and questions are statements: Me and Joe William was walkin down the street? Saw Bubba leanin up against the barber shop? Said, “Hey Bubba, wanna go to the movies!”

100% also when they ask me my nationality or ethnic background I always check the other box and put "redneck"

I had a high school history teacher from Louisiana, he said he didn't know "Nawlins" was two words until he was 6 years old.

Pawk yawhr caw in Hawvud Yawd.

Oh wait, that's how "damned Yankees" talk.

My friend moved to Alabama from Connecticut in 1934 with his family. He said he struck a conversation with another boy whose sister ran home yelling "Mama! Mama! Billy is talking to a damnedyankee (one word)!" He said four years later the family moved back to Connecticut where his new teacher introduced him as a "Southern Gentleman."

Somehow I got 75%.

That test must be defective.
