How to speak Minnesotan...part two

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

As I said in part one, most people don't understand us when we speak.

 

UFF DA!!

Getting out of bed in the morning with a backache.

Waking yourself up in church with your own snoring.

Forgetting your Mother-in-Laws first name.

When 2 steady girlfriends find out about each other.  (double UFF DA)

Noticing Non-Minnesotan's at a church dinner usig lefse for a napkin.

Eating a delicious sandwich only to find out the spread isn't Spam!

When your birthday cake collapses from the weight of the candles on top.

Not being Minnesotan....UFF DA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

William, I think you are a very funny man.  I'm leaerning French and now maybe Minnesotan should be my third language.

Bill,  I don't see these as funny...it is just normal English language to me!

I agree with Vern...just normal English language.   It is the rest of the country that talks funny

Bill, I thought maybe it was another way to use 'off the' as in "Get your feet uff da sofa!" Enjoy your day!

I just hate it when Chief Cook puts one candle on for every five years, and it sinks the cake.  Great information, Bill!

So funny and brings back a lot of memories of my youth when I lived in a land where they spoke this friendly language
