http://www.alphadictionary.com /articles/yankeetest.html What's this got to do with Detroit you ask??? Check out #18. The response you guys will all be giving is apparently very common in Michigan. It is so common that the comment that appears when you choose this response says 'Very common in Michigan'. Furthermore, the response that the survey claims to be widely used throughout the US (which I've never heard of, by the way) is *not* the one that is very common in Michigan. So why are we the only one's who call it that? I'm 36% dixie, if anyone cares... |

I'm also interested to see how many of us locals are in the 35-45% dixie range. I can imagine that the midwest dialect is relatively dixie-influenced. |

34% dixie.... Machoken, are you kidding with respect to 18? Anyone who can access Detroit news stations knows why they call it devil's night in Michigan (although the "angel's night" projects have been very successful in recent years). I think this term is popular in Ontario because a significant number of Ontario (and Canadian) cities get Detroit stations on basic cable. |

I guess I'm more of a Yankee than you Machoken, 29% Dixie. I was intrigued by question 19 "What's a drive through liquor store called?" Why don't we have these in Michigan!? One serious thought about this is the category of Yankee or Rebel. There are a lot of African Americans, both in the South and the North, who would be a Rebel according to this website. That's a pretty offensive category to be in. |

I had never heard of "Devil's Night" before I moved to Detroit, except in the movie "The Crow", and I thought they had made it up. And by the way, I have lived in California, Washington State, Maine, S.C., N.C., Alabama, Florida and Romania prior to living in Michigan. |

Wikipedia on "Devil's Night": From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the Michigan cultural phenomenon. For the album by rap group D12, please see Devil's Night (album). Devil's Night is one name associated with October 30, the night before Halloween, particularly in Detroit, Michigan. Traditionally, teens and adults in the Detroit area engaged in a night of mischievous behavior, which usually consisted of harmless acts of vandalism (such as egging the homes of disliked neighbors) in retaliation for real or perceived wrongs committed against them during the year or in many cases merely as a practical joke. In the early 1980s the nature of these acts escalated to more serious misconduct and more severe acts of vandalism, including setting vacant houses on fire. As these activities increased and the tradition gained more notoriety, individuals, and very often Detroit area business owners, would take advantage of the tradition of Devil’s Night vandalism in order to collect on insurance policies by committing arson on their properties (i.e., setting fire to their own cars and/or businesses). These incidents would be blamed on Devil's Night hooligans and would unfortunately add to the notoriety of the night. Devil's Night is a long-standing Detroit tradition pre-dating World War II, with anecdotal incidents occurring as early as the 1930s. Beginning in the 1970s the mischief became more destructive, in Detroit's inner-city neighborhoods, and extended into hundreds of acts of arson and vandalism. The destruction reached a peak in the mid- to late-1980s, with more than 800 fires set in 1984, and 500-800 fires in the three days and nights before Halloween in typical years. In 1995, Detroit city officials organized and created Angel's Night on and around October 30. Each year, as many as 40,000 volunteers are gathered to patrol neighborhoods and prevent crime. Additionally youth curfews of as early as 6pm are instituted on the days preceding Halloween. This has resulted in a decline to 20 fires per day in the days around Halloween. Devil's Night was chronicled in sociologist Ze'ev Chafets' 1991 book Devil's Night and Other True Tales of Detroit, and fictionalized in the 1994 movie The Crow. While the term is still well-known by Michigan residents, the news media in Detroit currently refer to the event as Angel's Night in an effort to boost the efforts of the volunteers. The name Devil's Night or Mischief Night is used by various pranksters in the eastern U.S. and Canada, although the acts are far less destructive, criminal or violent. |

Upinottawa, on second thought I see what you're saying, you didn't really misunderstand my question as much as I thought you did. Digging a bit deeper (just for you merchantgander...) I checked out Wikipedia's page on Devil's Night, and indeed it does say that the term has been used in and around Detroit since the 1930's. Furthermore, it has a link to a dialect survey with the geographic distribution of common terms for this night. Oddly, "Beggar's Night" doesn't appear in those results... |

"15% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!" Looks like I'm non-dixie oriented... My only mild objection is #7... they should have a separate entry for "you guys" (but not youse guys), which I think is most common form for 2nd person plural in Michigan. At least it was in my mid-Michigan high school. (Message edited by Dougw on June 20, 2006) |

"34% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee." Take a lot of flack here for the use of "pop", but it always makes me laugh that something so simple gets New Yorkers so riled. In New York, a party store sells balloons, paper hats, streamers, cards, stuff you think necessary for a party. In Detroit, a party store sells beer, liquor, and more beer, really the only stuff necessary for a party. (Message edited by xD_brklyn on June 20, 2006) |

RSA-re: "party stores" about 15 years ago I was in sales for an industrial electronics manufacturer. We entertained clients for training sessions monthly. We had ten people come in from a large ag equipment plant in Iowa. At lunch we locals were talking about a rash of robberies at party stores, how the owner had been shot at one, and so on. The folks from farm land thought (by listening)that there was a rash of robberies at the stores that sell paper streamers, mylar ballons, wrapping paper, gift bags, etc. |

I've always considered it soda pop, so it was always easier to say shorten it to soda. OK, not easier, but it sounds better. I am pretty sure that the drive-through liquor store on northbound Telegraph just south of Ford Road is still open... |

"30% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy." In high school I remember a friend going to a drive-through drugstore in Ecorse. Not sure where it is/was located, I don't know Ecorse streets very well, and anyone's guess if it's still around, that was in '01/'02ish. It struck me as peculiar since I'd managed to avoid ever seeing one before in the Unites States. . . and yet there's one in Ecorse, of all places. |

I remember somebody saying 'package store' and I had no idea what he was talking about. When I was a kid there was a drive-thru party store in Battle Creek but I'm not sure if it's still there. Drive thru's are all over in Ohio though. I once passed by one in a little town south of Findlay called the "Libation Station." Made me smile. |

43% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom. From ages 17-28 I was part of a good sized southern family (many born and raised in Kentucky and now living there, Tennessee, Georgia, Ohio, Virginia, Alabama and Florida). I've no doubt they had plenty of influence on me even though I've lived in Michigan all but 2 years of my life (short stint in Florida). Every 2 years they'd have a family reunion and dang if I didn't find my self speaking with a "southern twang" for days after it ended. As far as pop or soda, I tend to say both now. The soda influence is coming from my boyfriend. He decided that he was going to use soda from now on since in most places he'd travel to it seemed the more common term than pop. It is funny though when he asks "what kind of soda..." here and they look at him like he's from out of town. Ok, last question on the list, about the bug that rolls into a ball. Am I the only person in all of the USA that called them "curly bugs"? I did this from the time I could speak. I was bummed that this was not even an option on the quiz. |

Gumby, where in Lansing have you seen these? I don't think I've ever seen a drive-thru liquor store, here. |

Also Machoken, I hope you answered #7 as A ("You guys") since you used that phrase in your first post. |

I most certainly did answer A for 7, and I intentionally used it in my post even though I wouldn't normally write 'you guys'. Thanks for spotting some more of my literary craftiness. |

How fun! Mine was 41%. Seems like nearly everyone who lives here brought quite a bit of the Southern US with them or learned it from the droves of folk who came up from the South to work in the factories. Rather interesting how the Great Lakes/Michigan seemed to have its own category on many of the questions. |

Wow, how did you get the survey to tell you that? |

My score- 22% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy. Still upset, I might as well be 22% retarded. |
