WARNING! BEFORE YOU COMMENT SOMETHING STUPID THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS! Also I’ve had lefse!!!

Your telling me you live in Minnesota but never use uffda shame

I'm a Minnesotan and read about us saying "Ope!" when we accidentally bump into one another and I thought, "ooh, jeez, I doh-unt ever say that!" Then the next day I bumped somebody's grocery cart and we both cried, "OPE!" Dammit.

I say oof-da fairly often haha "Ope" is for when you open a door and there's a person on the other side, oof-da is more of a "job-well-done" sound. PS: Do you know why purple is the Vikings team color? You'd be purple too if you've been choking for 60 years.

As a Minnesotan here we go, 1: It’s not that cold I go out side in the winter in a tee shirt all the time. 2: Lefse is the best food ever. 3: I’ve never heard a prince song before. 4: I’ve never eaten lutefisk before and I never even heard of it until a month ago. 5: And I am also confused why everyone likes the Vikings.

Alright so the Lutefisk one is a bit untrue (got some older family that like it), BUT Lefse is awesome. Some brown sugar and butter with Swedish Meatballs and green beans around the holidays is to die for.

I'm from Minnesota, lived here all my life. I can relate to almost all of this. I say uufda, ope, you know (don't cha know I say jokingly), pop, winters suck though ughhh Lefse is amazing but lutefisk sucks but my dad loves it, I'm not obsessed with Prince, I'm not a Vikings fan (but I love the color purple) I love a good hot dish but eat other stuff too! Nice video! 👏

Amazing video! Good quality! I'm in South Dakota but i say uffda, but i think it's a norwegian thing.

We don't say uufda as much, but it's definitely in my family's vocabulary

-40 with or without windchill because -40 without windchill and 30mph winds means the windchill would be -80 below. If you’re wondering how I know theirs a calculator on google you can use if you look up windchill calculator.

Minnesota is just the Canada of the US

I don't know where you are from, but where I live most of those are true.

Lefse is my absolute favorite dessert, yes it’s a dessert, but tbh it’s mostly a Norwegian thing so if you don’t have Norwegian heritage it’s not too common. Oh gosh, I say UFFDA at least 50 times a day... I suppose I’m just adding to our Minnesota stereotype. YES WE ARE NOT CANADIAN!!! People listen to me and assume I’m Canadian.

I think Lutefisk is more of an older generation thing. My grandparents make it every year for Christmas. But it's pretty much just them and my great uncle that eat it.

Prince thing is funny. Working for a company that stretched the country. It never failed when people came into town they wanted to go out to Paisley Park and all they talked about was Prince. Meanwhile I rarely listened to the guy none of my friend did neither. Lefse, never heard of it until going away to college in North Dakota. The O thing is real. Never notice it until listening to commercials and it really pops. Pop thing is funny, went to the Texas state fair in 2014 and asked for a pop. They had no clue what it was. Then I remember to say I will have a coke, and they ask what flavor. Which I agree is as odd as saying pop. One last thing. While I know hotdishes are a MN thing. Never grew up on them. My mom hated hotdish. The only time I have had a hotdish was tater tot hotdish my ex mother in law made. I felt so bad as the texture with the much american cheese made me gag and nearly throw up.

im minisotain and i found that a lot of these rumors were true but you have to travel to different parts of MN to find them

😂😂 good content bro

I live in Hastings, Minnesota and I can't stand the winters here.

Of all Minnesota videos, find this one most accurate.

Northern Minnesota still does huge church Lutefisk dinners they’re quite popular and, as well as Lefse, is a remainder of our Scandinavian roots. Also, based on what you’ve said we’re like here I feel like you’re either a transplant to MN and/or only live in the cities or the suburbs… 👀

Lutefisk is a fish, and Lefse is said as 'lef-suh'

I wear short sleeves, until its mid to low 30's then i put on a hoodie

Nice job man! good quailty!

You know it's cold when your nose hairs freeze

I used to live in Minnesota and moved away last year and from my experience most people say soda. Also where I live now, they have a kwik trip and there is a 70/30 chance that they don't know what cheese curds are.

I'm a native Californian but moved to the Twin Cities a long time ago. Yesssss, the passive aggressive thing is REAL. I love MN but not this trait!

Bro this guy is the most un-Minnesotan Minnesotan. It’s actually a little worrisome 😅

What’s dumb is that at my school, sometimes they just randomly call a snow day when it’s like 20 degrees, but there were a couple of days when it was actually -40 and and we still had to wait twenty minutes for our bus to come and they made us go outside for recess and everything. It’s not that bad if you’re dressed properly but jesus I don’t understand what the hell theyre thinking sometimes

I bump Prince...also screw sports.

Btw, lutefisk is a fish. I think it originated from Norway but I am not sure. Lefse { lef-suh } is like a wrap that people put yummy stuff in. It also originated in Scandinavia I'm pretty sure.

Your very under rated

We had lutefisk and lufsa every Christmas. It’s differently a Norwegian dish. My no’s are long and Minnasooota also has a long o. Winters aren’t bad either it’s the wind chill

I kept saying no after that 😂

My uncle from Jackson regularly ate Lutefisk...actually the only people I know that eat it are all from Minnesota. Cannot get it past my nose.

Hot dish is at least 2-3 times a week for me sometimes ya just can't spend $40 to $100 going out with a big family

The "O" thing is true, we do have a little bit of that northern twang with the "O". As in "Oh yeah" and the O is a tad pronounced.

My grandma in Texas says "soda water"

How do you not know what lefse is.. smh

I’m from Minnesota and I’ve never heard anyone say uffda either, but the hot dish thing is true. Great video 👍

Uffda for sure lol mostly there’s a northern minnesota and southern split.. up north most the stereotypes hold true lol and in particular Scandinavians that moved here long time ago

nice video and im from minnesota :)

I was like dam that a thiccc mug

I think many of these stereotypes apply to more rural settings.

Prince. Most of us knew him, or knows somebody who knew him. Me? My best friend's husband went to HS with him. Kinda like Kevin Bacon, but only one or two steps. Same with Dylan.

My moms tater tot hot dish is the best!

The one that I hear a lot and I think is funny: "The Vikings suck but d**mnit, they're MY team!"

I think the Minnesota nice is an awkward nice. we try to be nice in times where isn't beneficial or we just try to be nice out of habit. but there are quite a bit of mean people as well I've noticed

We have local pride in Minnesota

We say oof-da a lot in da Nortd and Lefse (lef-sah) is really good. It's a Norwegian desert, very tasty. I'd say Bob Dylan is highly idolized over Prince in MN. I don't like him but if you ever attend live music in a coffee shop, bar or open mic you will most likely hear at least one of his songs. Obviously "ope" is like a universal word throughout MN but I'd say a less know, but very overused phrase is "you know." Not sure how that translated into don't chya know but eh, at least it's close...

It only gets to -40 in the very , very northern part of the state, and it is very, very rare . In the Twin Cities in seldom gets to 20 below. I lived in Minnesota all my life and I never heard anyone say "Uff Da" or "notcha know ". I do not know what a Lutefish is and I never heard of anyone eating one. No clue what a 'lefse" is or heard of anyone eating it. We use the term casserole like in tomato casserole and I never heard the term hot dish. We do always say "pop" every time. We do draw out the vowel "o" more than others.

I live in Minnesota and I say uffda every day 1:03

Uffda, lefse & lutefisk are Scandinavian. I grew up hearing my Norwegian grandparents say uffda a lot. Don't cha know 😁

You forgot to add that Minnesotans like to smoke weed LOL

Everyone picked on my brother in the army for being Canadian. Like the oof meme is Minnesotan. I’m claiming it as ours lol

I'm Minnesotan an I love lefse is is really good as a dessert.

Op sorry lol...outsiders do comment that Minnesotans are nice...however, passive, yees. Especially in education. Yaas! The pier at Two Harbors in the winter is sooo cold. Lol to be embraced.... Nice pics on the wall by the way!!

LEFSE is amazing. Why didn't you look that up? That's heaven. Lutefisk tho yeah... wtf is that

Minnesotans are also infamous for ending sentences with prepositions. Example: 1st Minnesotan: "I'm going to the mall." 2nd Minnesotan: "Oh, can I go with?", etc. etc. 😄

It irritates me that we don't get the respect for such a banger of a state lol

Definitely from Minneapolis

Minnesota 👐 we say pop because if you leave your "pop" in the car. Then it will pop... I always say oofda. The fish is cooked in lots and lots of butter. I feel like most of this is true depending on what part of MN. Im from way north 5 mile from Canada and I agree with what they are saying. We still cheer for Viking because its our home team. 👍

I never in my entire life said “op sorry” I say my bad or something

Hahaha coming down here to the South, they do say Coke (wtf?!) And use a lot of back handed comments while telling you how christianly they are.. aka Bless your heart. Nice video. ✊

ludafisk is fish and lefse is potato tortilla

down south say soda

The prince one it’s true usually it’s people over the age of 30

Funny story, I live in Minnesota and one day, I bumped into my crush who is from Europe and I said "Op, whoops sorry." And he looked at me weird. and then a day later I accidentally bumped into him again and said the same thing and he made fun of me🥲. But I definitely do not regret living here.

Lol ur funny 😎

Lol I say oop all the time

Most of these things are true in my area of Minnesota.

Ayyy lutefisk Hate that shit but it’s a traditional swedish dish soooo we gotta make it yknow

Completely different from Canada? You share two provincial borders and a great lake. Part of your state is only accessible from Canada, Northwest Angle? Canada is the most hockey country and Minnesota is the most hockey state. Canada and Minnesota both won two World Series between 1987 and 1993. You have both lost an NBA franchise but have one now. You are covered with snow most of the year, like Canada no super bowl trophies. Just own the Canadian comparison or find me a state more Canadian. :)

Hot dish is the main one. Also I hate how cold this state gets!

Im live im minnesota and at least for me you get used to the cold.I in my younger days used to go dog sledding and camping in the boundary waters ( norther mn on Canadian boarder) in the winter and at times with the wind chill it was 30plus bellow zero ya like i said when i was much younger.......and dumber lol

Are you from the Twin Cities? You don't seem very connected to Minnesota culture.

i always uffda

?? Are you really from Minnesota??

Yeah I dont completly agree with most of this

Uffda

OMG you dont know "1999" Because we are going to party like it's 1999. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qMicp5V22azKc2g.html or "When Doves Cry" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i61jicZ0ptK5l3k.html.... Ludafisk I want to say comes from Norway.. Basically aged fish for like 8 months. (never known anyone to eat it so not 100% sure how long it sits sealed in its container as it ages)... OMG there is the baked kind of hot-dish then stove top... I am a fan of the stove top as its a one pot dish, tho if you fry the hamburger in a frying pan then add it with the elbow macaroni and all the veggies. Often my dad made it with tomato paste or Ragu .. I grew up St. Paul/St.Cloud area.

#4 is not true it is passive aggressiveness and I know because I am a Minnesotan

I have been in the two harbors alot

Don’t make fun of mr home state :(((((

Ufda i say as a joke lol

I think uffda is a generational thing. I was born in the 80s and it was said a lot. Also I was raised on hotdishes. Still love them but eat other shit too.

I'm Minnesota and skol vikings

This guy is probably from minneapolis...there is no minnesota culture there.....if you don't know what lefse is ...you are not a true minnesotan.

nasty, stinky fish

In my opinion Yes The Vikings suck Like VERY badly 😂 But I still cheer for them, it’s my Home team I want them to win even tho they won’t lol

Lefse is pronounced lefsa

Lutefisk is tradition in northern Minnesota and minus the smell it's good, hot dish is a winter meal two or more times a week for most families in the northern part of the state I grew up on it. MN nice varies some people think of it like the South's Bless your heart, but I always grew up with MN Nice as helping out your neighbor and lending a hand to those in need. Break down in most states and nobody stops, in MN a hockey team will pull up and push a car out of the ditch. MN is really 4 different states you have the south, the north the central and the toilet aka the TC Area.

Where is this clown from? We're basically Canadian, and Uffda is Swedish (hence the Vikings). If you can only name one Prince song, you should be ashamed to be an American, let alone Minnesotan. Did you not see the skylines across the planet going purple when he died? This guy must be from Wisconsin.

Hatred. How can you not know what lutefisk is? How can you not know what lefse is? I'm not even of Norwegian decent and I know what they are. The fact you are reacting as a minnesotan and not be a fan of the vikings makes me sick. Being from the north is a matter of pride. Pride in your heritage, pride in your teams. Only shit stain fucks are fans of teams only because they win. That goes for any sport. We have different sayings and accents all over the state. It's not a stupid generalization you can say yes or no to to some out of state person. I got made fun of down in rochester mn because of my "northern" accent. Take pride in who you are if you are really from the greatest state, dont pretend to know how we all are. I'm going to stop ranting now.

you are not minnesotan. im sorry you aren't cultured enough about Minnesota
