Are you a Yankee or a Rebel?Follow

I was actually confused on this question, "Wrapping" was not given as a response, which is the the only phrase I have heard for this my whole life.

Hmm we have always called it wrapping, or "Hey, lets go wrap Suzie's yard!"

East Texas lingo I guess /shrug

36% yankee, no surpise there. The score is misleading though, because all of my answers were either non-specific as to region, or were northern/great lakes.

I am suprised though, how many times it matched up with my location. One answer (Devil's Night) actually placed me in MI specifically.

In Tennessee it's called "rolling" also.

57% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line

Yee haw!

Out of curiousity...

You enter a house. You are either in or adjacent to a large room with (among other things) a couch, coffee table, picture window and perhaps a Christmas tree given the season.

What do you call that room?

Living room, usually. If it's reserved solely for entertaining guests, the parlor.

If it has a TV it's the living room.

If it doesn't, it's the setting room.

If it has a pool table or dart board it's the rec room.

What's wrong with you people?

No votes for "front room"? I'd heard that was more of a Chicago thing, was curious to see if anyone else used it. "Living room" is equally acceptable though.

My grandmother on my father's side, a lady until the end, always referred to it as the parlor. I need to start doing that -- I can sit with my ladyfriend in the parlor and the only thing missing will be my grey felt fedora with a little red feather in the band.

Somtimes, people like to sit in setting rooms and read or talk.

Hence all of the chairs and no TV.

I realize people sit in living rooms too, just how my family always referred to them.

Living room, definitely
