Only 20% Dixie for me. Being born and riased in Rhode Island, I've always worn sneakers and taken my water from a Bubbler.

<p>Bubbler... that was strange to me. Never heard of it! I call it a water fountain - and I pronounce that w<em>hur-ter</em> fountain.</p>

31% Rebel. Which is odd, seeing as I've been a lifelong VA resident and my ancestors actually fought for the South in the Civil War.

34% Dixie. Almost all my responses were generic or midwest/great lakes. <br><p>
Having spent my college years there, you could have an entire thread devoted to RIsms. Calling it the bubbler is nothing less than retarded. Calling shopping carts "carriages" is even worse.

I slowly lost it over the years and after going to grad school in Houston for three years, I was home talking to some friends when one said to me "Boy, you've picked up a southern accent". I don't think I did but I'm sure it sounded that way to them (though I'll never use the term y'all).</span>
