If you’re anything like us, you’ve got a hankerin’ for sweet tea and hush puppies. But understanding the language of Dixie can be like herding cats! How well do you know southern slang? If you know what it means for a “dog that won’t hunt,” what a buggy is, or what it means to “piddle,” you might have what it takes to survive in the land of grits and collard greens.

Displaced out-of-towners will probably feel a bit cattywampus trying to understand this special and unique American dialect. If you’ve never been south of the Mason-Dixon line, bless your heart!
So sit a spell and answer these questions to see if you have what it takes to pass as a real southern belle or proper gentleman. Don’t worry, we won’t tan your hide if you don’t pass!
