It means that you will probably put sneakers on before going down to the cellar.
And that if you're feeling a bit hungry, and someone offers you a cruller to go with your coffee, you'll likely accept.

Looking at it, "Yankee English" seems to be generic New England. Not the super-strong regional stuff (like the Boston stuff, or the rural Maine/NH/Vermont stuff), but the basics.
Makes sense. I've once been told I sound almost NE american. I've also been told I sound American in the UK, and that I sound British in the US. To further improve matters, my spoken English mutates whenever I am in an English speaking area, and starts to conform to what is spoken there :)
I got a bunch of "mid-western," but mostly standard. Since I'm in the Far West it makes me wonder if the classifications aren't broad enough. Oh well, it ain't exactly science... Oops, my scores just changed.
