Not sure what Yankees or Dixies are...

Got 9/10 on the Canadian quiz. Never heard of the term "hoser" before.

 Spoiler

Yankee comes from the American Revolutionary War. People who lived in states that supported the revolution were called yankies or somethign along that line. If I wasnt more tired I'd remebermore of it.

Dixie comes from the American Civil War. Dixie being a term used for that states that seceded from the confederate states.
