[@doveforever]

I don't hear any accent, but then again. I'm Minnesotan.

[@elizabethschuyler5720]

Anthem4theunderdog me too

[@HiHi-sn3zo]

Anthem4theunderdog same

[@ellaerickson3661]

Exactly lol

[@Schoeben7925]

Anthem4theunderdog she’s prolly from the cities. I’ve noticed people who live in the cities or close suburbs ... the accent is not as strong but there is things we say that give it away lol

[@minnesotacoasterenthusiast]

Me too

[@Minsooky]

Those Minnesotan goodbyes omg. My husband will stand in the doorway with his relatives for an hour when we're trying to leave. Drives me insane! Argh!

[@thriftthick]

Hahah they're seriously ridiculous. And terrible when you're at a strange relative's/friend's/acquaintance's house and just want to get the heck out of there.

[@crashspyrofan98]

I'm from North carolina

[@CoraMack]

It was terrible as a kid because youd be sent to the car without the keys because they didnt want to waste gas and itll be "just a minute" and then you're dying in the car of heat stroke because your parents are still saying goodbye for 20+ mins

[@sophieirene9003]

I’m from MN

[@lilaznkami]

My family out in California does this, too! Stand inside, say bye for 30minutes. Go outside, say bye for another 30 minutes...

[@LewToons]

I'm from Minnesota & I find this completely offensive...haha just kidding! Glad to see another Minnesotan on the old YT!

[@thriftthick]

Alright, excuse me while I come down from a bout of fangirling after seeing a comment from you on one of my videos; I adore your channel and being able to geek out on cartoons with you when you upload!! From one Minnesotan to another: you're a fantastic individual and deserve multiple casseroles as a reward :)

[@puppyman-xk2rg]

Im also Minnesotan

[@LewToons]

Thrift Thick aww thanks - you're too nice :)

[@thriftthick]

LewToons Nah, that's just the Minnesotan in me :)

[@mckennapearson420]

Me too

[@alyssascoggins2388]

I'm not usually a fan of Northern us accents because of the slight nasality, but Minnesota accents are adorable, they almost have a musical rhythm like Scandinavians speaking English.

[@macylee4746]

Well... they are mostly Scandinavians 😂

[@AmandaLovesOldFords]

That's literally what the accent is. r/whoooosh

[@BenTableTalkRadioFan]

Michiganders are the nasally ones. Minnesotans and Wisconsinites are the cute-voiced ones. -a Wisconsinite

[@El-no5wv]

Amanda P it’s actually said to possibly be German with the sentence structure and Irish/Norwegian with the O’s and other sorts of it

[@lj.3589]

There are a lot of Scandinavians in MN, but last I checked there are actually more Germans. That said, in my experience one has to travel west towards Jamestown, ND, to really start getting a feel for German heritage in food and culture. Although I'm not disagreeing with El as I'm sure there has been influence from many heritages to make the MN accent, I will say, having studied both Norwegian and German languages a tad, it felt surprisingly natural to pronounce the Norwegian words and not as natural to pronounce the German words I was learning, but it should be noted that I grew up in a very Norwegian county of MN. The older generations there sound a bit like the mom from Bobby's World.

[@PeachyKeen]

True story: I met my husband during a Minnesota goodbye.

[@wldktau]

+Peachy Keen that sounds like the start of a good country song

[@rotwart]

Who cares?

[@PeachyKeen]

Jane Goodnut who cares that you don't care? 😂

[@rotwart]

I don't understand why you would leave such a random comment. Its like me saying 'I saw a locust while brushing my teeth'. Its nonsensical.

[@PeachyKeen]

Jane Goodnut It's not nonsensical. Cassie talked about Minnesota goodbyes in this video. Not sure why it bothers you so much. Maybe find something better to do with your time than criticize random strangers comments on a KZbin video from over a year ago?

[@HollieForrest]

Your accent is so cute!!! I have never met anyone from Minnesota before, I loved hearing your accent! :D

[@thriftthick]

HollieEatsLipstick haha thank you Hollie!! And now you can say you officially know an 'authentic' Minnesotan XD

[@Mari-kv7ck]

Haha yea we have awesome accents

[@tarynlachae9593]

Love you Holly 💖

[@abbeyleopold5650]

I don't get how we have accents my sister says we. say bag wrong

[@galaxyvlogs6354]

I'm from Minnesota now you know👏

[@missmads27]

i've been going through so many of these specifically for Minnesotans and FINALLY I relate to yours 100%.

[@thriftthick]

Yayyyyy I'm so glad!! There are definitely some Minnesotan videos here on KZbin that are shameful (no accent at. ALL.) to say the least so I'm glad I could do you and Minnesota proud ;)

[@Nickleus-Artist]

"oofta" is actually from the norwegian "uff, da!" (whoa/oh man/yikes/ouch) ;)

[@thriftthick]

Thanks for letting me know!! :D

[@solryder7131]

I'm here because I didn't want to forget anything when I joke with my friends of our accent and sayings. I love it, it's hilarious and unique. But I tell ya, up there in the far North East coast. Their accent is similar and a little more stronger with the O's. Wisconsin and northern Illinois really drag out their vowels. Having lived in Puerto Rico now for like 15 years working in the service industry, its fun meeting customers and guessing where their from, from their accent. Uff da can be used as an expression of surprise, astonishment, exhaustion, relief and sometimes dismay. Within Scandinavian-American culture, Uff da frequently translates to: "I am overwhelmed", somewhat similar to the Yiddish phrase oy vey. Uff da can often be used as an alternative for many common obscenities.

[@JonRulz2424]

I'm from Minnesota. Didn't even know some of these things were only Minnesota things. Are you sure we have accents?! I can't tell ... but than again I'm from Minnesota.

[@glockcasian7577]

In the cities you don't hear the Minnesotan accent until you go further up north.

[@liana3593]

yeah I'm from minnesota and I have not noticed a accent at all

[@abbird0917]

JonRulz2424 I'm from Missouri, and ya'll certainly do have an accent.

[@hayhay1380]

I'm also from Minnesota and I never noticed that we same some of these words different XD

[@elizabethschuyler5720]

Hayhay13 me too

[@threeseasons431]

Me- thinking she sounds normal and can’t figure out why people say she talks differently Also me- realizing I’m Minnesotan 🙄🙄

[@somerandomdude23764]

Being from Minnesota Its nice to know that somebody mentioned the Minnesota good-byes. The only good-byes that take 45 minutes.

[@rinkoshirokane8263]

somerandomdude23764 THIS IS SO MY DAD OML

[@ceaselessslayer]

Its like that here in south england too

[@supergeeky7529]

at least!

[@BBBdynamicheart]

When I went to the doctor in MN (NY native) I spent forever looking for some sort of gian asphalt ramp because I was told to park in the "parking ramp". After half an hour and several phone calls to the office I finally realized the receptionist was describing a parking garage. Looks like a building not like a ramp, granted there are ramps within the parking garage. LOL. Confusing to non-natives.

[@100TAlison]

I think the MN accent is one of the most musical and beautiful the English-speaking world has. And I’m surprised to hear that it’s so much like how we talk in the NW of England! We say “daddy long legs” and “pop”...or “fizzy pop”! And our vowels are very similar. Don’t alter your accent to adapt to anyone. It’s gorgeous. And we say “bobble” for your “hair elastic”...why?!

[@michellef5390]

Minnesotan accents are the cutest. I've worked in call centers for a long time, and if I sense a customer is going to be difficult, I'll adopt Minnesotan accent because it sounds friendlier! And it works for me!

[@pageturner242]

YES POP FOREVER GOD BLESS THE MIDWEST

[@amistry605]

im from Chicago and i call it Coke...

[@TThief]

amistry605 bruh

[@elizabethschuyler5720]

Natalie it is POP not SODA

[@mackenziejackson8635]

I went to cali and asked for pop and the lady just looked confused and said okay. She brought me back the chefs "pop" as in special

[@elizabethschuyler5720]

Mackenzie Jackson omg be careful what you say to people not from our land

[@daniv894]

caught the crappie... I like how fish is the first thing we (Minnesotans) think with the word caught

[@AshtynJoslyn]

OMG YES!!!! i totally agree, its POP!! my boyfriend calls it soda, and its soo annoying. im like dude,were from MN its POP!

[@supergeeky7529]

My husband calls it soda too, but he''s from the east coast so he has an excuse!

[@Jorkier]

I playing a video game and someone asked me where i was from to place my "accent". Im just like, "Wait I have an accent?". Then I find this video and now im like, "OOOOOOOOOH YEP I DEFINANTLY DO!"

[@arturomaqueda56]

Just love it your Minnesota accent!! I live in Minnesota for almost 10 years and I still learning the Minnesota accent I have some friends that used to teach me so many expressions! Love it!!

[@thriftthick]

Yay I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Also happy that you answered one of my questions for me I seriously had no idea :) I can't believe people don't know what oofta means lol!!!! So strange since it's so second-hand nature to me... almost like if someone asked what "ouch" meant haha. Which is kindof how you would use oofta; it's a noise you would make if you were lifting something heavy, maybe if you were getting out of bed in the morning and were really tired sill, etc. An exasperated expression! :)

[@laurynnk5236]

Im from minnesota and i cant belive all these things that can show someone ur from minnesota 😂 no wonder my cousins always laugh when i say certain things since there from cali

[@lavivachic]

Oh my god, this is great. As a fellow Minnesotan this made me laugh my ass off.

[@grifidj1063]

+lavivachic Same here an I'm also Minnesotan

[@elizabethschuyler5720]

Kelsey same

[@funnyrainclouds2939]

Kelsey me too!

[@jenniferscairono3192]

The faces you made while trying to say boat without the accent. Adorable! I was cracking up.

[@jacquelinereichenbach4670]

Thank you so much for this video! I am from Germany and I will move to Minnesota in April and it's hard to understand these different accents I didn't learn in school. Your video helped me a lot to prepare myself for a better understanding ❤️

[@sammiwyatt]

I'm from Ohio and yes carbonated beverages are most def "pop" haha

[@Hwan.421]

sam wyatt I’m glad we won’t have any problems

[@jessemase6986]

Coke sounds so better 😋 but in not here for war lol

[@hpmoody]

I love the Minnesotan accent out of all American accents.

[@thriftthick]

Yay I'm glad haha!

[@elizabethschuyler5720]

The Hamster thanks for the complement

[@rayrooooooosss9906]

The Hamster thanks

[@stephanvillavicencio5679]

i love minnesota accents! people from Minnesota that ive met were very positive and warm and kind. They all had an interesting hobby and were intersting and engaging in conversation!

[@MrMorgantaylor12]

For a person from Wisconsin who worked with us here in California, the accent really came out when we were all drinking.

[@Exfinity1]

I'm strongly Minnesotan people mistake me for being canadian and Canadians think im Canadian. it all matters where your from and how strong your family heritage is. Other minnesotans say i have a accent its just how i was raised and what part of minnesota im from. i grew up in a small town there was only one black guy in my school that was it. rest were white so not a lot of diversity if you grow up in the cities or around it theres a chance you picked up other ways to talk. Im the perfect stereotype minnesotan how i talk what i say my attitude towards other people is spot on.

[@jeanettejohnson2315]

Cryosphere v

[@Punkpsychobilly]

No worries, I’m from NW suburbs of Chicago, moved to Florida 9 years ago, and everyone here thinks I’m from either Minnesota or Canada. It’s all good, my grandma was a Finnish immigrant who lived in northern Minnesota, so maybe that’s where it came from. Minnesota rules.

[@keeganmoonshine7183]

was the black guys name Token and is your name Stan?

[@hermaeusmora2945]

I've lived in the Midwest my entire life; Wisconsin, Iowa, and now Minnesota for the last 5-6 years so i've heard plenty of Midwestern accents. I have no idea where the stereotype of Minnesotans saying "you betcha" comes from i've maybe heard it once or twice and that's it but every movie or tv show that has Minnesotans has the "you betcha". The only person i've ever heard really use that phrase is Sarah Palin. I've been lucky enough that despite my Midwest upbringing i've not picked up the Wisconsin/yooper accent or the Minnesota accent.

[@thriftthick]

Haha yeah I feel like the whole "you betcha" thing comes from living very far up north… at least that's where I got it (from my family who grew up there) and know of people saying it. It's not a common thing but it definitely comes out from time to time :)

[@Kristie27]

Thrift Thick I loved this tag! I'm actually from Grand Forks, ND but for now I live in East Grand Forks, MN "sister city". Sometimes I feel like it's more of a Norwegian accent then an actual "Minnesotan" accent but I think I'm wrong on that because people that are not from this area comment on my "accent" and I'm not Norwegian.

[@hermaeusmora2945]

***** Ew...don't remind me.

[@yanjingliang]

I have been living here in Minnesota for 7 years, I only heard the "you betcha" three times.

[@hermaeusmora2945]

cryin turtle box See what i'm saying! No one in Minnesota really says it but every movie or tv show that has Minnesotans has someone in the stereotype saying it.

[@rachaelholden327]

I especially love your makeup in this video! Specifically your eyeliner - looks so good!! :)

[@thriftthick]

Aw thank you so much!! You're so sweet. Glad my extra little sections were fun for you and I'm happy to hear Minnesotan accents are some of your favorites!! I'm biased but they're one of my favorites too ;)

[@jessicaredmon6692]

I'm from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, about an hour away from New Orleans (New Or-lins although half the time we call it NOLA (nole-uh)) and when referring to "TPing" a house, we call it "rolling." Like, "Before homecoming, my house got rolled." When it rains while the sun is shining, we've always said "the devil is beating his wife." NO clue where that came from lol. I love Minnesotan accents! I think they're cute and quirky.

[@ahnikaohare1092]

im from Minnesota and i also say or-leans so maybe its minnesotan...

[@katrinathinesen1601]

Ahnika O'Hare same here

[@alyssascoggins2388]

Ahnika O'Hare That's how most northerners say it, its kind of one of those north vs south pronunciations. I'm from the south and everyone I know from around here and other southerns states say "new orlins"

[@elizabethschuyler5720]

Ahnika O'Hare I do too

[@rinkoshirokane8263]

Ahnika O'Hare I didn’t know u Would say it any other way?! Lean is lean so new or LEANS

[@lj.3589]

I grew up saying it that way too. Now that I know otherwise I still have to think about both before choosing one. I do the same with "pecans".

[@thriftthick]

WOW you've got some great answers!! Very fun to read through, thank you so much for sharing :D And thank you, I'm so glad you liked the makeup as well!!

[@richardstice2862]

I loved this video! It's great hearing accents from around the country and the world. It's strange because I'm from Denver and I've heard countless people say that Denver is the land of "no accent." I try and refute that, but I really can't. I mean I know it's hard to do since you grow up with your way of speaking and can't discern what exactly you say differently. I guess it's just Standard American English? Haha! The only thing I've noticed we say differently here is some of our A's. Like I can tell if someone isn't from Colorado if they say Colo-raaaaah-do. We say it more nasal like Colo-rad-o. Anyway, loved the video! Stay cool! :-D

[@maryaltepeter9317]

Im minnesotan and I am proud to have a minnesotan accent

[@BenTableTalkRadioFan]

Wisconsinite here. Of course you say “the ditch”. The ditch is the thing that runs alongside the highway. A ditch might be a hole in the lawn somewhere.

[@lj.3589]

Yeah, "the ditch" sounded fine to me. It is "the ditch that runs along the side of the road". Thus, I drove into the ditch. I think it's seen as a component of the road. There's the center, the lane, the shoulder, and the ditch to name a few basic parts. Makes total sense. One doesn't say, I pulled over onto A shoulder of the road. I pulled over onto THE shoulder. He crossed THE median. I went into the ditch in that area of the road where I hit black ice and lost traction.

[@thriftthick]

HAHAHAH I SERIOUSLY LOLED. Glad my makeup looked oofta, that's exactly what I was going for ;) And yayyyyyy I'm so happy your life is now complete with this video!! I truly did it with you in mind haha. I was pretty impressed with how Minnesotan I sounded as well, ESPECIALLY when I said "you bet'cha"... I was honestly like "ARE YOU SERIOUS UUUUUUUUGH/OOFTA guess I have to leave that in there" hahahahahha I honestly don't realize how freaking Minnesotan I sound sometimes XD

[@grangr5]

Loved this, thanks! When we lived in Florida people talked about "rolling" a house instead of "TP-ing" the house. In Kentucky, those insects are "granddaddy long legs."

[@CS-gz4on]

I live near Route 22! It's right down the mountain in Green Brook, NJ. It runs through other towns too though :)

[@nothinnothin6218]

I've lived in Washington state my whole life, and tonight for the 10th time I was told that I sound like I'm from Minnesota. that's why I'm finding myself sitting here watching these videos, so I can hear what others are hearing that I just don't hear.....☺😊😉😚😘 Either way, I'm flattered. I'd be proud to be able to say I'm from Minnesota. Oh, and I do call Pop, "Pop", and I get a lot of flack for it. 😃😄

[@taystetherainmo]

New subscriber here! I've been binge-watching your vids-- I love your personality! I'm in western Mass... the 5 hour long goodbye is not just a Minnesota thing-- it's here too, and it's one of my biggest peeves. Someone once said when you're at a big social gathering, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom, and then just head home. You avoid the "we should get together soon, it was so great to see you, I'm free most weekends, how bout you?" blah blah charade.

[@thriftthick]

It was wonderful, I'm so glad you did the tag and added your semi-southern accent to the mix ^__^

[@wldktau]

i am from Alabama. your accent is light. 95% of what you said is the way we say it except for the minnesota words and the poster.

[@Ronathon02]

Yeah, some parts of Kentucky and ohio say over 75% of these things the same. though im from MN and i just know that from traveling to those places.

[@amberkelley7502]

I grew up in Mpls.....but when I lived in Florida for a year and now that I live in AZ...anytime I say “bag” people think I’m saying “beg” and vice versa. Annoys the snot out of me! 😂

[@rfrancis8459]

Thank you so much! I’ve been listening to you to help with an audition I have 🙌🏾

[@mparlanti]

Yay!!! Another Minnesotan! I'm from northern Minnesota and I just found you on KZbin. I love all your videos!!! 😊

[@abbird0917]

When I heard the phrase "car park" and/or "parking ramp", I literally said "what the serious fuck are those." Then I proceeded to research those phrases and found out she meant a parking lot. A "car park" at least makes some sense, but a parking ramp? People don't park on ramps, they park on flat surfaces (unless in a mall garage).

[@thriftthick]

Amee Bird no no, we call parking lots parking lots as well. I think your "mall garage" is our "parking ramp" (where there are multiple levels to park on)

[@abbird0917]

Thrift Thick Okay, so it's similar to a parking garage. This makes much more sense.

[@oh4410]

+Thrift Thick (Cassie) yup!

[@karlysundeen4003]

A parking ramp is like a tall building to park a lot of cars...in Minnesota a parking lot would be like going to Burger King or something

[@rubbyycruz]

It's weird because I answered a lot of the questions in Spanish in my head. I guess I just name specific things in English and some in Spanish and never realized it.

[@goldzipper]

I love your accent so much!! I totally agree with you two envelope usage.

[@waymire01]

Your eyes look amazing. Love how you added your own section.. I wish everyone would do that. I love accents in general but Minnesotan is one of my favorites.. it's just so cute.

[@TheMahagoni]

You're freakin' adorable!! I love your perky demeanor and that sweet semi-Canadian accent haha. Thank you, fair maiden ;) P.S - those eyes, those eyes? okay? seriously..(mindblow)

[@CoraMack]

Fellow Minnesotan here! I can them ponytails. Like, "hey do you have an extra ponytail?" Or to a child I'd say, "do you need a pony?" Also one that I say ALL THE TIME is, "ope just guna sneak right past ya" i didnt know this was a think until recent. Also, i didnt know hotdish and casserole are the same thing. I just figured my family didnt eat them lol. I meet a lot of people from around the country and world and they look so confused when I say, "oh Im going to the cities" versus "the twin cities" or when I just say Mayo versus, "The Mayo Clinic". If youre from the area, you just say, "my friend works at Mayo"

[@AmandaLovesOldFords]

Same. I've been saying "ope" my whole life and only just realized it recently.

[@lj.3589]

Oh interesting. I call the actual hair in the holder a pony tail unless there are two, then they're pigtails. But the actual elastics that holds the hair I call ponytail holders or hair ties. I start many sentences with "Oh" and yes, when I'm being careful or tip toeing around something I might start out the sentence with "ope".

[@thriftthick]

YAYYYYYYYYY so glad you're humoring my stupidity and ignorance hahaha. I can't wait to see that tag when you're finished :D

[@IMBirdie76]

I am from Minnesota too, and it is great to see your video. It is impossible tohear your accent, since that is how I speak too. You are awsome and super duper pretty. You go girl!

[@thriftthick]

Haha yay I'm glad you can't hear it XD And shucks thank you so much

[@muriellynn8108]

so for the question about “what you call it when the suns shining and it’s raining” i live in Atlanta but a lot of ppl in the south call it when “the devils beating his wife” it sounds weird but that’s what we call it

[@criskity]

Accent tayg.

[@susanschafer1248]

What you said about saying goodbyes in Minn. was so funny. I live near L.A. and we're similar. I live the " you betcha" tho. Good vid!

[@susanschafer1248]

Love not live ...oops.

[@thriftthick]

YAYYYYYYY a fellow "pop" sayer :D So sad that we've both converted to "soda" haha... we can mourn together. And oh, yes, pill bugs!! I totally forgot about that; now that you mention it I have called them that before but basically always say rolie polie because it's cuter/more fun to say lol. Doodle bugs though? That's completely new to me, thanks for sharing!! Finding out about these speech differences is so much fun for me ^__^

[@buttergodis118]

I can't say Minnasota without my accent XD

[@crash4005]

Buttergodis my whole family is from Minnesota and I have an accent even thought I’ve never lived there😂😂 I also read things with the accent too

[@lj.3589]

Haha I know! I have to really focus to say Minnesota the way national news anchors say it instead of with an accent.

[@jamminjimmy4545]

Those eyes tho!

[@thriftthick]

Aw shucks, thanks Jaymz!! X3

[@wintersummerdays]

Hella cool eyes and eye shadows! ^_^

[@thriftthick]

Daisy Morales D'awww Daisy!!! You're so sweet thank you

[@karissalintgen4231]

It's so true about the talking forever before you leave. When my mom says time to go I wait for about at least 20 minutes then leave

[@SeeJustineRun]

Love that I found a great youtuber from my state! Great video!

[@kimberlyolson99]

For question number 9 I call it something different I call it Minnesota cause you know it rains and it's sunny at times well a lot of the times. Minnesota weather is just bipolar

[@thriftthick]

That works too ;)

[@naracasperson1402]

HAHAH I live in minneapilis mn and she has a lot more of an accent then me...I love it tho😂

[@AmandaLovesOldFords]

People in the Twin Cities don't have the accent.

I've heard it called a "grand-daddy long legs," though I'm not sure if that's actually the same sort of spider. As for "sunshowers," in Arkansas/Oklahoma, we'd probably just call that "rain" (and probably a sign that it's about to get miserably hot and muggy). I haven't had long hair in so long that I'm scratching my head to remember what I called those things, but I think it was a "ponytail holder." I enjoyed your video. You have striking eyes and a cool accent. :)

[@Bournefort]

I am a fellow Minnesoootan and answered all of the questions the same! Great video

[@oldchannel3098]

Minnesota streets are only black ice in during winter I swear.

[@bellajenna87]

uh, duh.

[@ahnikaohare1092]

i call it a pony tail

[@user-zg3js5mf8f]

I love your eye makeup in this video and you're eyes are soooo pretty too!

[@thriftthick]

Thank you for all of your answers!! Very fun to read through all of them ^__^ And hahahh yeah "the"/"a"... it's all very confusing; makes me realize why English is one of (if not THE) hardest language for people to learn!

[@NiinaSKlove]

Oofta, sounds like the Nprwegian 'uffda :) Uffda means, for an example: when someone falls of their bike (unless it is serious) and hit their - well, knee - (again not an serious injury or anything) you can say - uffda, are you okay? Not sure if the word, Oofta, means the same, but it would be interesting to know! :)

[@thriftthick]

Yup it's pretty much the exact same thing here!! Or you can use it in instances like if you lift something heavy, when you're struggling to pick/lift it up and then finally do you exclaim "oofta!" :)

[@NiinaSKlove]

Yes, ha! :) How cool :)

[@traviswhite6204]

That's a good example of when we say uffda in Minnesota. Another way we use it is "Uffda, it's cold out." Or you almost spill a glass of water at the table you say "uffda", or you lift something you can say "uffda that was heavy." Or "Do you smell the lutefisk? Uffda. "

[@joshuamclean8913]

The term actually comes from Norwegian settlers, so it makes a lot of sense. During some time a lot of them moved to that region, I don't remember when.

[@lj.3589]

It's typically spelled "Uffda" here too. They are the same. There are various unofficial spellings though. I see "oofda" often too. Don't even get me started on Uffda tacos which, in their case, have nothing to do with Norway but are just another excuse to say "Uffda" in MN.

[@sarahbutler7858]

[@OffbeatHomesteader]

Hey, fellow Minnesotan youtuber! How 'bout you put on some overalls and bring a casserole over here to share, and I'll have some jagermeister and tapioca pudding ready to go. Hahaha! We'll have a good old time.

[@hyena_theshyvampire]

Off-beat Homesteader Make sure its tater tot XD

[@erinkrogsgaard7192]

Except it’s not a casserole, it’s a hot dish. 😆

[@rileye5347]

We never say that... we are still normal lol

[@AmandaLovesOldFords]

Seriously? It's *hotdish*

[@Germanman5rs]

I went to Washington D.C. And tried to order a pop and they were like wtf was that

[@thriftthick]

Hahahahhaha yeah…. people sometimes ;)

[@Hwan.421]

TEH ATHEIST I can’t! 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣

[@vkatona1]

I went to Chicago once and ordered a soda... they brought me plain, carbonated soda water 🤢

[@doingeverythingblind3282]

I just came across this video one of my best friends lives in Minnesota and her accent is very strong I love the Minnesota accent and in my opinion the Minnesota accent and the Canadian accent sound very similar awesome video I love your channel.

[@thriftthick]

Hhahah he's a funny little bugger, that's for sure. And YAY for being tagged by Jess as well, this is such a fun tag... ESPECIALLY if English is a second language of yours! That's such a great spin on the tag and I'd love to see it :D

[@alexisl6351]

I'm from Minnesota and I call the tv remote a clicker

[@grifidj1063]

+Alexis Larson I also do that sometimes (I'm also from MN)

[@SoundtracksEpic]

I live in Minnesota, but I've never heard one that before!

[@graceryan5740]

I say that too,

[@jorgepadua9124]

+Alexis Larson The only clicker I know is the one I use in college.

[@pixie4184]

My dad calls it a flipadator so idk!

[@xxxmelina3445]

I've never said oofta or you betcha and so on, but I've heard lots of other people say it. Most of the people who say it are older people

[@mandisaurus]

Same

[@ineedanewlife43]

It's mostly from Native Minnesotans, (like myself)

[@carolinekuenster6892]

I agree with you!!! I live in Minnesota! But I call it a hair binder

[@boredpeanutable]

I'm late to the comments because I'm a new subbie, but I had to say I love hearing your accent. You can certainly hear the Scandinavian influence in Minnesotans' speech. I'm in Arkansas, and your accent would definitely be noticed here! I'm shocked to hear that you use "our" word- y'all. I guess it's taking over the US because I've heard West Coasters use it too. Also, I've never heard "oofta".

[@bigman9094]

oofta is a Minnesota original! now that I'm thinking about it I say it A LOT

[@gabbyburton1999]

your eyes are so gorgeous. you are gorgeous too. I hope you know that already. :)

[@dtaleghani]

"Crraaann" for Crayon? wow

[@ajujuadoidoi]

Same for me!

[@bigman9094]

yup we say craaan

[@bojohnson5675]

everyone says "craan", don'tcha know?

[@waboom248]

Yep cran

[@thriftthick]

D'awwww thank you Sarah!! I'm so glad you like my videos ^__^ And yeah, I feel like it's something either people don't notice at all or else they notice it and think it's REALLY strong... strange dichotomy there but it definitely goes both ways!

[@thriftthick]

Yayyyyy I'm so glad Minnesota isn't the only place that says "the ditch"!! :D It really must be the small-town-country-bumpkin in us hahah. I also didn't know that people didn't call sun showers.... well, sun showers! Very different from raining/sprinkling since both of those are times when the sky is overcast or very cloudy... though that's just me being pretentious lol. And yes, hair bows that one also weirds me out! So strange since you don't tie them in a bow unless you're using ribbon :)

[@real_lampcap]

She's really pretty and I love her eyes!

[@markaudley-thewles5920]

Oofta ! Beautiful accent . I’m British, so can hardly complain about odd accents 😂

[@GramGramAnimations]

I never realized some of these were unique to Minnesota! Rag, bag, tag are all fun ones too!

[@KendellGreen]

Loved this! I'm posting my accent tag tomorrow 😅

[@thriftthick]

Ooooo those are all things I've not heard (besides the pill bug, but that's only because I read other comments of people filling me in XD) before, thank you for sharing!! It's so fun to learn these things :)

[@paranoidasteroid614]

I live in MN, and Ive never traveled anywhere so I didn't think I had an accent at all - but im definetly hearing it now haha

[@lizurang8145]

Oh my god I have been following you forever and had no idea you were from Minnesota too!!!

[@thriftthick]

Doesn't matter that other people have answered, I love hearing YOUR answers so thank you for posting them for me ^__^ I hadn't heard the Grand-daddy long legs answer yet (surprisingly cute) and each time someone says the devil answer I can't help but crack up (so funny). Southern charm indeed!

[@tequilyps]

I think all of us mn folk used to say 'new ORleans' till Katrina... Im watching ur vid in tn and feeling at home again. Even without a hotdish or jello salad in sight! 😂🤣😚

[@jem2043]

I grew up in Ireland and we call those hair things that you mentioned at the end hair bobbles :) all types even including the elastic ones, they're all bobbles

[@thriftthick]

Whoo-hoo a fellow Minnesotan!! I'm very proud, no worries... glad you are too! :D

[@Chevon0888]

LOL, I am also from Minnesota and I did this tag video for my first You Tube. I laughed so hard at "the boat" part.

[@thriftthick]

Glad you got a kick out of it!! Haha I definitely can't say boat any other way T__T
