Understanding Minnesotan...Part 3?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

This is sort of a 3 rd part about understanding Minnesota.

Technology is very easy when you understand the language.  

For Example...

 

MINNESOTAN COMPUTER TERMS...

Log on: Making the wood stove hotter.

log off: Don't add more wood.

Monitor: Keeping an eye on the wood.

Download: Getting the wood off the truck.

Mega Hertz: When you are not carful getting teh firewood.

Ram: That thing that splits the wood.

Hard Drive: Getting home in the winter time in the deep snow.

Prompt: That is when the mail ain'tin in the winter time.

Windows: That you shut when it is cold during the winter time.

Screen: That you shut when it is black fly season.

 

This is enough for most of you mortals to digest for one day.   Study these terms that may be a test in one of my next blogs!

Thanks William that will work for some other than just Minnesota.  Not so much firewood here in south Georgia though. Have a great day.

Thanks for sharing those Minnesota definitions. 

I don't pay attention to the points, but how many comments are we getting now?

I'm assuming that re-boot means getting out another pair of boots to outside to collect firewood.
