    Nuts. And here I was hoping I'd stay the one with the highest "general" rating.
    Who doesn't? :grin:

    Common schoolboy prank. Especially effective on trees. Harmless but funny looking and a pain to clean up. Sometimes accompanied by "forking" the lawn: sticking a package full of plastic forks randomly across the front lawn. Really vindictive people might "turf" a lawn: drive a car into someone's lawn and make a mess of it...

    Hokay, since so many like the term y'all I have to comment.

    Please remember that it is plural. If used to one person it means you are asking about the whole family so be prepared to hear about the joys and sorrows of aunts, uncles, 4th cousins twice removed, etc. Of course if the person addressed is a @#$!yank he probably won't know what y'all are talking about. :)

    I wonder where my other five percent went.


    EDIT: apparently everyone's adds up to 95%. Hm.

    I only got 90%. For what it's worth.

    Kinda insulted that I got any Dixie. ;)

    65% General American English

    15% Yankee

    5% Dixie

    5% Upper Midwestern

    0% Midwestern

    I'd have to disagree with a good deal of the choices. For instance, I called an easy class school. :D

    But it was a fun little time killer so I guess it served it's purpose.
