Jolie77,
Even though it is in fun, a lot of southerners don't think it's a matter to laugh at, though I do. If I'm not mistaken, this was done by another poster a few years ago and the thread really got out of hand and had to be shutdown. It's a "Pandora's Box," if you understand me.
Ah, Well - I don't think it's in relation of opening the "Pandora's Box" in this case because the purpose of this quiz is meant to be silly. It isn't meant to be taken seriously. As for the other thread from years ago that got out of hand; It went out of hand for a reason, obviously but that should not let it affect this thread because it is a separate thread.
I've been in the south long enough to know that they would laugh at it too. I mean, Why would they not laugh at it when everything shouldn't be taken too seriously?
There is one question that I am wondering about is the word "Dixie" and what is that word mean? I have never been in the Southeast like Alabama or Mississippi or Georgia or any other states that is half of the south of United States. So can you explain what that word in your southern drawl language or in clear common language. Thank you.
Dixie is actually name of a song that the Confederate Soldiers often sang during the Civil War. I believe the official title is called "I Wish I Was in Old Dixie" which speaks about the greatness of the south. It's a battle tune turned a folk tune from the South over the years.
