Yes, I doubt you will find these words in the original King’s English either Internet, Spaceship, snowboard, video, megapixel, blogger, cyber. Its likely they knew nothing of stop and go lights, traffic signals, water bubblers and the like. I’ve got a few relatives that live in the south and they all sound like drunken foghorn leghorn. Its all in good fun folks. As people from the north move to the south they bring more of the English language to that region and its improving slowly. At some point there won’t be a need for subtitles on those southern TV shows.
Thought all you wisconsiners and other northeners had your own little dialects.......Always ending scentences with "Eh? " and "dont you you know" or a combination of the 2 "dont you know eh? " Example from a great movie........'theres a mouse in my beer eh"
You’re thinking about Canadians. They get a pass since they are not Americans. Some UP residents from MI will use the Eh.
Cripes eh! Don't mistake us Yoopers for Cheeseheads or Canucks...We speak the midwestern english same as Rancid til yah git us wit does oldtimers dats our uncles and granpas - ya know dem old finnlanders an swedes, den we git to speekin like dis hey! longest word in 'Da Yooper Dictionary' quitchergoldangbellyachinwhydontchaeh!
This would be me also. Born down south, moved to Iowa when I was 12. My wife still gets on me about some of my southern sayings. I dont think I will every fully be past my southern language.
Did you mean "grating?" LOL Have you ever read Twain, Harper Lee or Faulkner? Literary geniuses I tell you... geniuses.
LOL, This will prob. piss of alot of people but I have in laws from wisconsin and have been up there many many times. To say that people from wisconsin speak proper english IMO is quite false. And would even venture to say that some have there own dialect. Hence the creation of the song Thirty-point buck.
You do understand that was a comedy/parody/novelty act spoofing (capitalizing upon the success of) “Da Yoopers” from MI? You know? people going out of their way to over dramatize and accentuate deer hunters from the great white North for theatrics and financial gain. It was not a meant to be a period piece or historical reference.
Well you gotta admit, he would be quite the "change." I can see it now, a well aimed "Turkey Guillotine" tipped arrow filmed live on the lawn of the whitehouse instead of the hyper hypocritical pardening of a tame turkey only moments before going inside and eating his brother. Camoflauge, sleeveless tuxedoes would be all the rage at the next Whitehouse Ball. The possibilities for entertainment are endless. You should rethink your position.
I do realize, however they speak of "the great vince lombardi", you know the guy who most wisconsinites consider to be god. So I was working off that assumption. Here's a couple more for your viewing pleasure on how even current residents feel about your elite state. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgQbsQX2t0g&feature=related Even a scientific explanation!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmikTwhNlDQ&feature=related
Thanks for the videos. All very clear spoken people with no subtitles required. With roots in European culture such a German, Polish and Scandinavians. Our bubbler (invented here) is everybody else’s “Kleenex” rather than “facial tissue”
I married a great Southern girl from South Georgia. Well my work dragged me to Maryland and several other places over the years. She was a teacher. Yes, she had a smidge of Georgia girl in her speech. She was teaching 6th grade in Maryland. One day this little boy come up to her and inquired, "Mrs Miller are you from WVa"? She said, "No, I'm from Georgia". The kid replied, "I knew you were from somewhere like that. My grandmother is from W Va. and she's a hill billy too". My wife almost wet her pants laughing. NOw... back to the subject. Why do all hunting shows have to be run by ignorant talking rednecks that seem to develope more of an accent every year. You watch some old Realtree videos and now watch Michael Waddell... well hell, he's not even the same person. And these fools on Wild Game Nation. Holy crap.
Guess where Larry the Cable Guy, that ICON of perfect grammar and exemplary stylish dressing, is from. Bama? Nope. Georgia? Wrong again. He is from Nebraska. Isn't that in the midwest? I am not sure but I think it may be. Again, the south does not have a lock on poor grammar. With phrases like "Git-R-Done! and "That's Mater... you know like Tuh Mater... only without the "Tuh," I would remind you all, there is plenty of red here for you, even your neck!
