I have become an EAC/Beersnob

[Yooper]

OK, I guess I'm the only person on earth who doesn't know what a "fib" is.

It's a code for people from Illinois (and/or Indiana) that Wisconsinites (and Yoopers) use. It's not very nice .......

 

[Pumbaa]

it has to do with fornicating people who reside in Illinois and their lack of a father figure. Even though it makes itself redundant it's usually pronounced F'ing FIB. Flatlander is common for smaller violations of basic common polietness

**EDIT** and Lorena I know you're probably calling me a Troll or fudgie as I type this

ok and before ya ask a fudgie is someone who goes up north and eats fudge from the small stores the entire time and Troll is someone from the LP of Michigan (below the bridge) and Yooper is someone from the UP of Michigan, People from Minnestoa are commonly refered to as blockheads . . . I think it's because of the norwegian ancestery and hair cuts but TBH I have no clue why

We should start a Wisconsin/UP Dictionary

Eagle River, WI is just as bad!

I have a cabin up by Eagle River. Yes I mean cabin, no insulation, outhouse, and all that. Never noticed that many FIBs up there. Golfing up there in the summer is fun.

SO what do you call Ohioans up there? We vacation about every year way up in da UP. about 6 hours north of the bridge in Houghton and further up into Eagle Harbor, MI and you're all making me think about what they are calling us.

We've been going up there as long as I remember, and even before I could remember anything! We try to fit in with all the locals as much as possible, you know, drink a lot, use comments like, "ya eh?"

We love it up there...well, except for the damn bugs! It looks like we slaughtered a cow on the windshield of our motor home if we go up there in June!

Being a Buckeye fan I usually don't have too many good things to say about Michigan, but I always make an exception for da UP!

I grew up in Michigan (LP)--so I'm well acquainted with those terms...

My freshman year in college, I lived nextdoor to some yoopers. One of them was name Don, and another of them had a girlfriend named Dawn. I swear they pronounced those two names exactly the same way. (Doe-awn).

After college, I moved to Seattle and was amused to find that northwesterners also pronounce those two names the same (rhymes with either word in "won ton").

I grew up in the Detroit area, but my wife grew up further north in the LP. When we lived in Seattle, she was fairly regularly asked if she was from Canada.

Ohioans are just Buckeyes! (Unless they are confused with trolls- sometimes it's hard to tell!) I'm originally from Youngstown, OH but I've been here since 1983. My family still lives in the Youngstown area.

Do you ever go to the Michigan House in Calumet when you're up there? It's really good, and the brewer, Tim, is great about talking about brewing and showing his set up.

Actually no, I haven't been to the UP since I started brewing. I probably won't make it up that way this summer since I'm going to the Philippines with my fiance to meet her family but maybe 2008 I'll get up there. I'll definately look up the Michigan House cuz we drive through Calumet a few times and never mind finding a good bar to hang out at!
