This was kind of a fun language quiz. Are You a Yankee or a Rebel?

I'm "57% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line" I've lived enough places that I've picked up words from all over the US. I know that selling your junk to the neighbors can be a tag sale, garage sale, rummage sale or yard sale depending on where said sale is taking place, but I learned what is was in Illinois, so I call it a garage sale. Of course, my parents came from the south, so I'm sure some of the words I use came from them, not necessarily Illinois. It's very interesting to me how different the language can be just from place to place in the US. Words are fascinating.
