I got all 12 right -- but then I am Alabama born and bred! And I have lived here all my life, except for about 5 1/2 yrs. when my job sent me "up north".

I scored 10 out of 12, but I'm a northerner. I never heard of the devil beating his wife, and I over thought the coke question.

I'm a northern gal (now a western gal) and I got 11 out of 12. The only one I missed was the Coke one...we called it Coke too, except Coke is a type of pop so I chose 'pop'. My daughters used to fun with me about saying pop instead of soda - they thought I made that up - so back home one time (Michigan) I took a picture of the restaurant menu with prices for coffee, tea, juice, and pop to prove it.

The other phrases I learned from my Grandma Jones, she was from Missouri. She told me once when she was little her grandfather disappeared, and the consensus back then was "Indians got 'im." If she were here today, she might say the Democrats "got hornswoggled." Thunder means that angels are bowling.

So funny ! I am a true Northern girl but raised near St. Louis with tons of Tennessee people who came to work in the factories. I scored 10 out of 12 on this quiz. But I am proud of being a Northern Girl !!!

I'm a native Oregonian, but my mom lived in Texas as a young woman, and my step-grandmother was from Arkansas. Got 10 out of 12; missed the The Devil Is Beating His Wife one and the Coke one.

I was born and raised in Louisiana. I would bet my paycheck that anyone in a big southern town (if they have lived there any length of time) has heard all these phrases. I say this because my husband is not from the south and he teases about the things I say but he's used to them. I, too, have been away from Louisiana for 16 years. I am in the Pacific Northwest now and people are fascinated by some of the things I say. I used to always ask, "Do you want a coke?" And if so, "What kind, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Coke?" Also, we used "Bless your heart" three ways: 1) with all sincerety, 2) meaning you are an idiot and don't know it (also known as "isn't that precious"), 3) you better leave before I have more to say than just "bless your heart". I've lived all over and my southern roots have stayed with me. I've never found more interesting dialect/slang than the deep south - or accents! I just can't bring myself to ask for a POP but I have converted to Soda - as it does save time

Been in Virgina 50 years, that was a test? Seemed like plain talk to me. Got all right, natch.

Oh, M'Gosh! Hadn't heard "natch" in so many years! Thanks for the memories! Takes me back to my high school days....

Got 11 out of 12. Been 46 years since I lived in the South. Bless your heart tripped me up. I wasn't used to it being used sarcastically

GeeGee
