Pretty good meme, actually . . .

55% -- Barely in Dixie.
Which was interesting, because I've lived in Texas 25 years, and sometimes I had to stop and think "Is this how I used to say things, or how I do it now?" It also listed several things that show MidWestern origins -- even Great Lakes origin. And purely Texas usage. Other tests for Halloween, for example, don't mention Beggar's Night.
A better test than most!

43% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.
When I admitted I knew what a Party Barn was (good grief, drive through beer store? Who thought that was a good idea?) it went up to 45%.

This doesn't surprise me since I've lived all over the country. :) I was surprised, though, by how many phrases I use that are primarily New England or Great Lakes terms since those are two areas I've never lived. *g*
