49% Yankee, barely even a tugger.

I've heard of a magical place called Daquiri Hut, but otherwise had never put a name to any other DUI drive thru.

I know. I think part of the reason is it's a habit to put the apostrophe before the double l's. They'll, we'll, I'll, et cetera.

I honestly didn't know so many of the common phrases I use are native to the great lakes area. You guys don't call it a crayfish in a drinking fountain?

It is obviously crawdad:


You get a line and I'll get a pole, Honey,
You get a line and I'll get a pole, Babe.
You get a line and I'll get a pole,
We'll go fishin' in the crawdad hole,
Honey, Baby mine.

Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold, Honey,
Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold, Babe,
Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold,
Lookin' down that crawdad hole,
Honey, Baby mine.

Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, Honey,
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, Babe,
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back,
Packin' all the crawdads he can pack,
Honey, Baby mine.

The man fell down and he broke that sack, Honey,
The man fell down and he broke that sack, Babe,
The man fell down and he broke that sack,
See those crawdads backing back,
Honey, Baby mine.

I heard the duck say to the drake, Honey,
I heard the duck say to the drake rake, Babe,
I heard the duck say to the drake,
There ain't no crawdads in this lake,
Honey, Baby mine.

38% Yankee, Definitely a yankee.

Lol, funny how many of these I chose came up as Great Lakes Region since that's where I'm actually from. The fountain thing confused me at first cause in construction we call them water coolers, I had to think back to what I used to call them.

And they need a you guys or guys instead of you all.
