I know a [censored] of MNtans who *do* talk and act *exactly* like the
people in Fargo. The stereotype exists for a reason...I stayed there
long enough to pick up some of the affectations. Yah. Eh. I love
Minnesota. 🙂

LOL! When the movie was first released, Chris (in AZ) reported: "God,
Mom! Everybody down here thinks that everyone from Minnesota talks like
that!! And you know what? <laughing> We DO!" Yeah, we have some
strange speech patterns. "Want to come with?" We think that's the end
of the sentence, our friends are waiting for the rest of it. You
betcha. "-) I recommend the book, How To Talk Minnesotan: A Visitor's
Guide, by Tom Mohr.

Don't forget the Lawrence Welk accent. Don't be offended, Barb. When I
lived in MN I was told by the natives that I had the worst Wisconsin accent.
(En so?) LOL

My mom lives on Mille Lacs and I swear, half the people I meet up there talk
like this, luckily my mom hasn't picked it up.

Were you Up North? The farther north you go, the more you're likely
to run into someone who talks like "Fargo" and "Drop Dead Gorgeous."

I went to a fast food place a couple years ago. The girl at the
counter had some strange accent that I couldn't place at first. Then
it hit me.She spoke exactly like the actors in "Drop Dead Gorgeous."
From that point on, I couldn't stop laughing. I'm sure she never
suspected why I was physically incapable of telling her what I wanted
to order.

My daughter can mimic that accent perfectly. I have to beg her to
stop so I won't wet my pants from laughing so hard.

I say "yah" and "you betcha," but definitely not in that
Scandinavian/American accent. Ask anyone who's met me or talked to me
on the phone. Although I understand that we have our own version of a
drawl. Minnesoooda and Faaargo come to mind.

Then there is, "You betcha, by golly, ya shure." NO ONE says that, to
the best of my knowledge. It's a joke phrase that is only used (I
hope) in jest.

BTW, you spelled Minnesoda wrong. <G>
