I'm 61 years old and left my hometown of Watertown WI at age 19. I've lived in California since 1985 and I still use a lot of these phrases. I didn't think I had a Midwestern accent until my wife was playing back a voice I didn't recognize. I asked her who that was because the guy sounded like he was from the Midwest. She said "That's you. Don't you recognize your own voice?". Ope! I guess not!
It can go both ways. My California-native friend decided to buy a cheap foreclosure house and moved to the upper Michigan peninsula, despite never having been there.

I've been using "whoop" in place of "ope" my whole life here in Texas. Spent a winter in Wisconsin, never noticed the difference. Except we drink Bid Light down here, for hydration. Because it's water.

The only things I can identify in myself are saying "melk" sometimes and saying "a horse a piece", which my mind is blown that that's a regional expression, thought it was just a common idiom or whatever till I learned otherwise like a week ago.

I'm from the northeast US and love how when people from Wisconsin give directions instead of saying, "when you get the light, turn, etc." they say "when you get to the stop and go light, etc.". So endearing. Note: Make sure that one is in the bottle opener translator.
I really like your videos. I went to Milwaukee once and as Californian, I couldn't stop laughing hearing the locals talk. I felt awful, but couldn't help it
Love it. My grandfather from Northern Michigan was famous for "buy gollee" and "holy baldy" if the situation was serious enough. He was 6'5", 260 lb WW2 veteran and did not need to use many words to convey meaning. He loved to sit on the davenport and read some Louis L'Amour after a hard day on the farm or hauling logs. I attribute a lot of my success to him.
East Coasters be driving west... PA: Can it get any worse than this? OH: Can't get any worse than this. IN: I can't believe it got worse. IL: Chicago's about what we expected... WI: Holy Shit turn around, we're flying back from O'Hare. Meanwhile in MN: "And so Paul Bunyan dug the St. Croix River to keep the cheeseheads out of paradise."
Cheeseheads don't want you're "paradise" you frozen flyover state! (That was aggressive I'm sorry, I'll come over with a hot dish sometime to apologize properly)
When I was in high school my family moved to California. I grew up in the U.P. Everyone kept asking why I had an accent. I was like I don't have an accent you do. 😂
From Cali, never noticed my accent or the "yeah no" (no), "no yeah" (yes), and "nah but for real" (agreed, let's get back on topic) until my Midwestern colleagues called it out. Been self conscious ever since lol.
I had a lab partner who moved from LA to Michigan. I played him a "Californians" sketch from SNL. He got upset and said that they didn't talk like that, but I could heard the accent in his voice, lol.
Sorry but if wisconsinites don’t like Illinois, the state not the people plz don’t get offended I respect you as a person, then I will also follow their advice. Go Packers!
No, but the underlying jokes are exactly the same. The whole thing about hunting garb being church clothes? Too on point. And just drive yourself back to Texas.
My grandparents, on my father's side, had a davenport in the sunroom. There was a sliding door that led into the family room which was adjacent to the living room and that was just past the kitchen. It was just one big circular layout that would lead you back to the family room and back to the sun room with the davenport. A pleasant tour for people needing a short visit.
That moment when you're laughing not because it's funny but because you fully understand what he's saying without a voice translator and bottle opener.
I never even heard Yooper until watching this - but I figured out it must be someone from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I'm in California, and got to see Minnesota for the first time last fall - briefly. I've never been to Michigan or Wisconsin.
Uff-da is really only a thing on Fargo and your grandma's copy of "Favorite Ole and Lena Jokes", bathroom edition. I personally say "oy-vey" a bit more frequently.
I'm from south Jersey where its not uncommon to hear Water pronounced as "wood-er". I used to say "Eye-dear" when I meant to say "idea". So I can't laugh at anybody who says "Warsh".
I'm from Australia & I follow (understand) basically everything on channels like this either because I watch so many movies & so much TH-cam & have picked up words & context; it's just obvious; I can follow context in the clip, but Davenport got me! I couldn't figure it out! But funnily enough I've heard it before in my childhood so yeah must be a brand & someone I ran into must have had a davenport lol. I loved that bit because I was racking my brain & was delighted to find out it was a couch 😂 wouldn't have guessed.
2:19 man I'm a Lions fan so I may have no room to talk, but that burn on the Vikings hit me in the feels too. At least the Viks have made it to the dance.
Yeah, I felt that, too. Because of that Wisconsin Minnesota rivalry, I let it slide. We are supposed to be rivals with Chicago's sports teams, like Da Bears, but I don't think Chicago sees us as a worthy rival anymore. Central North division is OG.
I dunno if it's even a thing anymore, but I used to know a restaurant chain called Timberlodge, and they had a steak on the menu called The Viking. The tagline on it was "After being beaten in 4 super bowls, you know it's gonna be tender."
Minnesota girl her and Viking fan all of my life, so I have watched all 4 Superbowl losses. The one team we always have a chance with are the Lions so surprised that Lions beat the Vikes once this year.
My west Michigan Grandma & her sisters always said 'pert-near'. It was a "word' I never knew wasn't an actual word until I was much older! Midwesternese is thee best language!
Anakuya1 Well they used it in Leominster Mass when I was there in Catholic child torturing school. "Sista, may I have a drink a watta? "Shuwah , just go down da hall to the BUBBLAH."
I'm Canadian (Ontario) and I understood just about everything. Only thing I've never heard was "walleyes". We also don't say "bubbler" here but I knew what it meant, and the thing about a horse a piece was new to me but still figured it out. My version of that would be to say "it's six of one, half dozen of the other", or just "six o' one". This accent sounds to me like a slightly more nasal version of the typical Canadian accent. Love it!
@@MrFuckface2013 Regionally, that fish is called pickerel in many areas up here - the only time I've heard it called "walleye" was reading the packaging of fishing tackle.
@@AJR-zg2py In the US a pickerel usually refers to a fish from the pike family, like a northern. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_pickerel . Walleye are just called walleye. I see this on Wiki: "Walleye, a fish unrelated to Esox, is called Pickerel in parts of Canada" Today I learned haha

On Saturday mornings, there was a Howie Mandel cartoon called "Bobby's World." Bobby's mom had this thick accent and always threaten to slap people with a wet noodle, from what I remember.
What's great is that a lot of people's warmest clothes are their hunting stuff, so on really cold days they actually will wear that stuff to church and it's not weird or disrespectful in most local people's mind.
I moved from Minnesota to Texas and everytime I whip out the accent and the colloquialisms and they either laugh their butts off or say STAAAAAAAHPPPPPP
I agree! I nearly flipped when I moved to Wisconsin and heard my neighbor actually say "It took so long this time for the meat to unthaw!" Felt kind of creepy because I had this terrible urge to start laughing and say, "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!"
I have never heard anyone say “warsh” except my dad, and he was born and raised in Texas for 30yrs b4 coming to MN. I’ve recently learned that his is sister, still in Texas, plus her kids also say “warsh”. So I don’t think that’s a midwestern thing, but more of a misheard and was never corrected thing. Like they can’t say “Popeyes”, they say “pie pies”. There’s “budder “ instead of “butter”. There’s “melk” instead of “milk”.
My sweet Minnesotan grandma has definitely asked for new bat-trees for the clicker. She also says "syrup" like "siiirrp." "Ya want some more siiiirp for yer pancakes? Nooo? Ohkeeey den."
When I moved out to LA in the late 90s, I was asking people where the bubblers were... Also asking where the tyme machine was... I got some pretty weird looks from that one.
I grew up in northern Wisconsin but I’ve been living in Missouri now for 25 years. I’ve lost my accent for the most part but I can’t seem to shake “Ope!”, “Oh yah!” and “too yet” no matter how hard I try. Go Packers!!

I say "ope" all the time, it's so consistent that I actively try (and fail) to avoid it. Don't know if that's a regional variation but it's always "ope", not "oop".
The only things I can identify in myself are saying "melk" sometimes and saying "a horse a piece", which my mind is blown that that's a regional expression, thought it was just a common idiom or whatever till I learned otherwise like a week ago.
Still, I get it's a comedy video and they're gonna exaggerate things, but this video is beyond cartoonish @@_SimpleSam
I had no idea "It's a horse apiece" wasn't a phrase outside Wisconsin
It's not!!?
Did that mean it's horse piss?? Lol 🤣
Never in my life heard that phrase until this video lol
We say it here in South Dakota but not as thick
As a Wisconsinite... I have no clue what you are talking about
“Because trees have to drink too” amen to that.
I died 💀💀💀
Is nobody gonna talk about how he's calling it "Bug Light"? LOL.
Might as well be. Tastes like where the bugs go to fuck.
Now I have to go listen to it again!!
NO Cause it's all about Old Milwaukee and Goose!
Miller Lite is pisswater. All lite bears are trash to be honest... Except Coors Light.
3 million views! Way to go guy! Oh, and tell your folks I says "hi" 😁
I never realized how much I say “Ope! Let me squeeze right past ya!” Sconnies unite.
I’m from East coast. Plz don’t hate I’m learning the Wisconsin vocabulary, can you please explain what walleyes are?
Anna Vacho Walleye is a type of freshwater fish; makes for a great Friday fish fry!
thanks.
@@shadowlynxv6082 Naw need to eat catfish from down here in the South :)
Akihito007. I’ll try walleyes first. The lake I live by is kinda polluted.
The accuracy, I'm minnesotan and I sound like a grandma at the age of 19. Walking passed people like "Oop sarry, didn't mean ta bump ya der"
It's wonderful. Never stop. (:
Lost it when Ygrid shoots Jon Snow with the arrow and he says Cripes!
OMG, I'm from Michigan and I totally cracked up over that. I now live in Vermont and I so recognize that accent! Well done and very hysterical.
My wife speaks spanish and has to translate for me all the time out here in Cali. Now when I met Charlie on Nov 3rd and we start talking, I will have to translate for her!!!!!
Kris Franzen sorry for your loss. 🤣🤣🤣
Fred Jaen okay then.
Lol I was saying sorry for your loss for moving to Cali 😂😂. Definitely a huge difference from Wisconsin! But that joke flew right over you
Fred Jaen I sure don’t miss the winters!!! Yea it went right over me or under my knees as it were!!!
I was literally in the same boat. Moved to California from Mo, and my fiance had to translate EVERYTHING, I started learning, but his mom spoke SO FAST.
I am a south wisconsinite and I have and do in fact say "geet". Didnt know until this wonderful educational experience shined the light on me.
We say geet/jeet in Chicago too. We don't have bubblers though and we certainly don't unthaw anything.
Mine is a little but more of a "d'geet?"
I'm from mid-michigan and I'm having the same experience. Cheers, m8
Hell, I remember Jeff Foxworthy talking about that decades ago, and he's from Georgia.
"Hey, jeet yet?"
"Naw, joo?"
"Yontoo?"
"Aight."
I was educated by an Arkansan 20 years ago who said that they had, “J’eet.” As in, “Jeet yet?” “Wontoo?”
“Drive your sorry ass back to Illinois” killed me
Do you know the last time the Vikings won a Super Bowl? Yeah never.
As an Illinoisian by birth I approve this message :)

I'm a Southerner but it still got me. Here we have Yankees instead of Illinoisians, but same difference.
Then how are you writing this comment?
I never before believed such masterpiece could be made with two random common household items. Your creativity knows no bounds, and that "cripes" from GOT or whatever that show was killed me!
I love the looks I get "abroad" when I say, "Yoooobetcha!"
@Jacob Lorenz naw, it's Yooperese. 😉
I used to hear a lot of "Youbetcher bippy!"
Which basically is similar to "You're damn right" or "you better believe it".
@@cxx23 ... And was a product of the Laugh-In generation....where you bet your sweet bippy! 😄
*wanders off s appointment fingers and chanting* Here comes da judge! Here comes da judge!
Lot of it is the lower peninsula but don't understand why Michigan is considered the midwest. Rural regions have a minimal southern accent.
Yoobetcha chummy
"Normally, the apple TV koozie and voice translator would be hundreds... of cents" 😂
I'm from the northeast US and love how when people from Wisconsin give directions instead of saying, "when you get the light, turn, etc." they say "when you get to the stop and go light, etc.". So endearing.
Note: Make sure that one is in the bottle opener translator.
No wonder I do that , I just thought I was weird 😅
I really like your videos. I went to Milwaukee once and as Californian, I couldn't stop laughing hearing the locals talk. I felt awful, but couldn't help it
Love it. My grandfather from Northern Michigan was famous for "buy gollee" and "holy baldy" if the situation was serious enough. He was 6'5", 260 lb WW2 veteran and did not need to use many words to convey meaning. He loved to sit on the davenport and read some Louis L'Amour after a hard day on the farm or hauling logs. I attribute a lot of my success to him.
Your grandpa sounds like my husband plus two generations. Bet he was a great man.
It makes me feel so midwestern when I understood what a “davenport” and what a “bubbler” was 😂😂
Yes, 100%. ( I am also Midwestern)
I didn’t know the rest of the world called a bubbler a water fountain until I moved.
I'm from Australia and understood both words.
@@mindysr I still haven’t moved and I find that crazy that they call it a water fountain
I’ve lived in the Midwest my whole life and I’ve never heard Bubbler used instead of water fountain. I wonder if it’s just an older/rural thing?
Jon Snow takes an arrow to the back: "Cripes!" Still better than Season 8.
Was looking for this one!
True

can you do just chicago?
to be honest there is still alot of bad drivers in my state
Yeah..the problem is that Chicago is just too close to
When I was in high school my family moved to California. I grew up in the U.P. Everyone kept asking why I had an accent. I was like I don't have an accent you do. 😂
From Cali, never noticed my accent or the "yeah no" (no), "no yeah" (yes), and "nah but for real" (agreed, let's get back on topic) until my Midwestern colleagues called it out. Been self conscious ever since lol.
Yes hahaha
I had a lab partner who moved from LA to Michigan. I played him a "Californians" sketch from SNL. He got upset and said that they didn't talk like that, but I could heard the accent in his voice, lol.
Everybody on the west coast speaks surfer dude lol
Lol same. Im from Chicago. When i moved to San Diego for a short while EVERYONE commented on my accent
Please dub over more movies. Those were great. I want more! 😆
So yer nat ganna orduh a coozy?
Translate to English offered up by my phone for Roberts comment. Even funnier!
And I loved the movie bit, " Cripes!"
Omg I lost some coffee on "I'm wearing my church clothes."
Why all the Illinois hate. It’s not like we want to live here

"Aw yah she's unthawin good" God why do we talk like this, I'm in tears 😂
This is masterpiece. I spewed my morning tea over the screen laughing.
I’m from the South, Texas specifically. Would have never guessed a “Davenport” was a couch lol.
No, but the underlying jokes are exactly the same. The whole thing about hunting garb being church clothes? Too on point.
And just drive yourself back to Texas.
You wouldn't want to get up off the davenport to get the mail in February up here. Best to stay in Texas. We'll handle the snow for ya.
We had a davenport when I was a kid in Denver. The back can lay down flat so it becomes a bed.
It's an old phrase. My grandparents called them that.
My grandparents, on my father's side, had a davenport in the sunroom. There was a sliding door that led into the family room which was adjacent to the living room and that was just past the kitchen. It was just one big circular layout that would lead you back to the family room and back to the sun room with the davenport.
A pleasant tour for people needing a short visit.
That moment when you're laughing not because it's funny but because you fully understand what he's saying without a voice translator and bottle opener.
I didn't hear a single doncha know and my mother who is a yooper uses doncha know and hey in every other sentence
Or a offta or eh
Yooper here, totally agree!
I guarantee none of ya's not from Michigan don't know how to say Ypsilanti Cheboygan Charlevoix and Mackinac
I never even heard Yooper until watching this - but I figured out it must be someone from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I'm in California, and got to see Minnesota for the first time last fall - briefly. I've never been to Michigan or Wisconsin.
Some of us here in PA say, "tree," too, as in, "How many pieces a scrapple ya want?" "Oh, gimme a coupla two tree."
LOL Thank you Charlie!! From MN - -you nailed it and even got a solid Viking burn to make me laugh hard!! Well done!!
I can't believe they didn't say "uff da" at least once!
It would have been a 3 hour video if they included everything.
What's that mean?
@@stanschmitz5566 its just what you say instead of "oh boy"
Uff-da is really only a thing on Fargo and your grandma's copy of "Favorite Ole and Lena Jokes", bathroom edition. I personally say "oy-vey" a bit more frequently.

Even geet?
Where the hell do you live
TheGamingLounge As a northern minnesotan with lots of old(er) family members yes...
Born and raised in Minnesota. Never heard a soul speak like this but I somehow understood too...
Can you explain what walleyes are
I grew up in SoCal, but every time my Missouri born & bred grandmother said "I'm gonna warsh my hands" I'd fall on the floor laughing.
I'm from south Jersey where its not uncommon to hear Water pronounced as "wood-er". I used to say "Eye-dear" when I meant to say "idea". So I can't laugh at anybody who says "Warsh".
Davenport got me😂. My grandmas from Minnesota and I’ve never heard her say couch
My grandma said Davenport and I always thought she was referring to the front door. 🤣
MN Grandma here(IL) also and she has a Davenport to this day lol.
(Iirc she said it was a brand back in the day)
Yep, Grandma always called it a Davenport!
I'm from Australia & I follow (understand) basically everything on channels like this either because I watch so many movies & so much TH-cam & have picked up words & context; it's just obvious; I can follow context in the clip, but Davenport got me! I couldn't figure it out! But funnily enough I've heard it before in my childhood so yeah must be a brand & someone I ran into must have had a davenport lol. I loved that bit because I was racking my brain & was delighted to find out it was a couch 😂 wouldn't have guessed.
@aussiejubes yes, it is a brand! A very old brand that might not even be in existence anymore lol
When you realize indiana, ohio, nebraska and illinois is also midwest and no one sounds anywhere like this
We are currently living in Kansas City, so the only accurate thing for here is "Ope!" Even that seems rare in our immediate area.
@@ladyraven3418 in indiana we say "ope" with a softer "p"
@@ronmoyer4710 yeah i say it jokingly ngl
Iowa reporting in, no one talks like this either.
we don’t sound like this in Michigan either
2:19 man I'm a Lions fan so I may have no room to talk, but that burn on the Vikings hit me in the feels too. At least the Viks have made it to the dance.
Yeah, I felt that, too. Because of that Wisconsin Minnesota rivalry, I let it slide. We are supposed to be rivals with Chicago's sports teams, like Da Bears, but I don't think Chicago sees us as a worthy rival anymore. Central North division is OG.
I dunno if it's even a thing anymore, but I used to know a restaurant chain called Timberlodge, and they had a steak on the menu called The Viking. The tagline on it was "After being beaten in 4 super bowls, you know it's gonna be tender."
Minnesota girl her and Viking fan all of my life, so I have watched all 4 Superbowl losses. The one team we always have a chance with are the Lions so surprised that Lions beat the Vikes once this year.
For 40 years I've been wondering what a davenport was, thanks to you now I know what my grandpa was talking about!
50% of the reason Fargo was such a good movie.

Every once in a while, its healthy to get your laugh ducts cleared out!

@Jacob Lorenz hey, no hard feelings. You did win against us before we got ourselves (somewhat) together, that's... A positive thing?
I second this

AcDrAgOn wait what about Iowans. We sound very different to Minnesota.
Skol der guy
My west Michigan Grandma & her sisters always said 'pert-near'. It was a "word' I never knew wasn't an actual word until I was much older! Midwesternese is thee best language!
Being from Minnesota there, I can attest to saying "I'm just gonna squeeze right pastcha" on multiple occasions. It's pretty interesting!
Fun fact, the word "bubbler" was first used in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Anakuya1 No one knew what we we talking about asking where the bubbler was located . 😂
@@ellenlerch do you ever get confused when someone hands to a pipe to smoke weed?
Anakuya1 Well they used it in Leominster Mass when I was there in Catholic child torturing school.
"Sista, may I have a drink a watta? "Shuwah , just go down da hall to the BUBBLAH."
I'm Canadian (Ontario) and I understood just about everything. Only thing I've never heard was "walleyes". We also don't say "bubbler" here but I knew what it meant, and the thing about a horse a piece was new to me but still figured it out. My version of that would be to say "it's six of one, half dozen of the other", or just "six o' one". This accent sounds to me like a slightly more nasal version of the typical Canadian accent. Love it!
Canada is like the Walleye capital of the world. Green Bay is a close second.
walleye is a type of fish
Wwaeye is a delicious fish and fun to catch.
@@MrFuckface2013 Regionally, that fish is called pickerel in many areas up here - the only time I've heard it called "walleye" was reading the packaging of fishing tackle.
@@AJR-zg2py In the US a pickerel usually refers to a fish from the pike family, like a northern. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_pickerel . Walleye are just called walleye. I see this on Wiki: "Walleye, a fish unrelated to Esox, is called Pickerel in parts of Canada" Today I learned haha
My dad is from Minnesota so I needed him to translate all of it for me. He was laughing hard.
"Drive your ass back to Illinois"
As an iowan I whole heartedly agree XD
The three biggest road hazards in iowa are ice, deer, and Illinois drivers

At least we don't have the stupid accent from Minnesota XD. Iowa is actually a nice place to be.

"Jeet?" "Naw, jew?" It's so sad that no one here in Texas understands how wonderfully concise and useful these phrases are...
I'm from TX and I appreciate it as do many others I know. I hear it more like "Dga eat?" Like short for did ya? We shorten some things but elongate others??
Andrea L Moseley That's interesting because I moved here a decade ago and have never met a Texan who understood those phrases.
Where are you in Texas? "Jeet" is used so widely here, I thought it was our thing. XD
"Jeet?" is also a common phrase in North Eastern Pennsylvania too. Shamokin and the surrounding area are known for it.
Jeetyet? Fixento

I’ve lived in Door County for the past 20 years and now I’m on the West Coast going from Seattle to Ketchikan Alaska down to Cabo. I understand the difficulty in understanding some people from the far north regions of northeast Wisconsin and how to understand them. It’s hilarious. God bless your great entertainment and making people out here laugh like crazy. Best
On Saturday mornings, there was a Howie Mandel cartoon called "Bobby's World." Bobby's mom had this thick accent and always threaten to slap people with a wet noodle, from what I remember.
Mrs. Ge-ne-ric
I loved that show.
Better was Louie Anderson's cartoon series. Remember the butter licker😽?
Lol, I think watching that show growing up in California is why I can actually understand what he was saying
0:48 "I am wearing my church clothes." 😂Lmao
What's great is that a lot of people's warmest clothes are their hunting stuff, so on really cold days they actually will wear that stuff to church and it's not weird or disrespectful in most local people's mind.
I moved from Minnesota to Texas and everytime I whip out the accent and the colloquialisms and they either laugh their butts off or say STAAAAAAAHPPPPPP
Same exact situation omg they hate the way I say crayons or pecans
They lagh at us in the summer time, because 75°F is hot...............
Then FEBUARY......
@@ay9342 That's because the rest of the country, save maybe Louisiana, doesn't know how to pronounce French words.

I'm from the great nort of Wisconsin and everyone always ends a question with..."or no?".
I used to do that when I lived in Minnesota. Didn't realize it was a midwestern thing
For Minnesotans here: isn’t it a lot more common to say, “dja-eet?” here? I’m not used to “geet,” although I understand it fluidly
I have no idea who is saying this in Minnesota
Yes this is much more common vocabulary for me
This also occurs in the South... Often in a different form the..."Djalleet?"

Ope, lemme sneak past ya and grab the ranch there
“Unthaw” is absolutely the best. I unthaw meat from the freezer all the time.
They need to be able to say wash with an R in it. warsh.......
I agree! I nearly flipped when I moved to Wisconsin and heard my neighbor actually say "It took so long this time for the meat to unthaw!" Felt kind of creepy because I had this terrible urge to start laughing and say, "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!"
Lol. I never even caught that. I couldn’t understand why the translator couldn’t translate. 😂😂
I guess I’m a Midwesterner through and through.
@@epistte I thought that was an Appalachian thing. My grandfather is from Kentucky and always says warsh
I have never heard anyone say “warsh” except my dad, and he was born and raised in Texas for 30yrs b4 coming to MN. I’ve recently learned that his is sister, still in Texas, plus her kids also say “warsh”. So I don’t think that’s a midwestern thing, but more of a misheard and was never corrected thing.
Like they can’t say “Popeyes”, they say “pie pies”.
There’s “budder “ instead of “butter”.
There’s “melk” instead of “milk”.
My sweet Minnesotan grandma has definitely asked for new bat-trees for the clicker. She also says "syrup" like "siiirrp." "Ya want some more siiiirp for yer pancakes? Nooo? Ohkeeey den."

Great stuff der guy
Was so surprised when I moved to Houston and everyone looked at me crazy for calling it a bubbler
To be fair, growing up in Massachusetts, we always said "bubbler/bubblah," instead of water fountain. (In school, anyway)
When I moved out to LA in the late 90s, I was asking people where the bubblers were... Also asking where the tyme machine was... I got some pretty weird looks from that one.
voodooutt I think there’s a time machine at Doc Brown’s house in Hill Valley
omg calling the remote the clicker is soooo me and my entire family
Clicker is also Chicagoese.
We also used it in Detroit, but that was years ago when the first gen remotes actually made clicking noises.
We call it that here in Texas, too.
who calls it a remote?
Thanks!
I grew up in northern Wisconsin but I’ve been living in Missouri now for 25 years. I’ve lost my accent for the most part but I can’t seem to shake “Ope!”, “Oh yah!” and “too yet” no matter how hard I try. Go Packers!!
So when a midwesterner asks you to bring something just bring beer, gotcha
If you're in Wisconsin, go for Spotted Cow.
