Enjoy you hosers!

Okay, some of those were familiar.
Sounded more Minnesotan at the beginning, but by the end sounded western Wisconsinese.

Mentioned Chippewa Falls, and that was my guess.

That dude is funny! Charlie Berens.

Check out his Quarantine Kitchen videos, particularly "How to make an Old Fashioned".

Holy Wah!

I didn't catch a single "ubetcha". Did I miss something?

Hosers is Canadian! Great videos from Charlie.

I’ve traveled above the Cheddar Curtain and seen this species in its native habitat. This video is spot on.

I grew up in Wisconsin. I graduated from HS in Green Bay. I moved away when I joined the Navy at 18 and never returned - other than to visit. After 5 or 10 years I clearly remember my father saying I talked like a 'Hick'. That's what Montana does to you, I guess. What he was really saying was that I didn't have that dumb, stupid sounding accent that he had.

We winter on the panhandle of Florida where there are quite a few Wisconsiners. I can pick them out a mile away after 1 sentence. When I ask "What part of Wisconsin are you from?" they look at me and say "How did you know?" Daaa

I'm gonna forward this to my brother - in Green Bay.

Having lived in Wisconsin, the phrase get your sorry ass back to Illinois was familiar. Everything bad was blamed on the folks from Illinois.

I believe we’re commonly referred to as FIBS (F**king Illinois Bastards).

Yep. You guys do all the barhopping by snowmobile, run your jet skis on the lake while we are fishing, and litter our highways.

Having grown up in Illinois, this stuff was news to me. It was always the kids from Chicago messing stuff up, not the local kids.

Oxford Wisconsin where the Federal prison is located was known as the home away from home for Illinois Governors.

That may almost be sub-regional or perhaps a dying expression. I don't hear it much in central MN unless someone is deliberately trying to sound like Fargo

^^^^^^^^^^
It was common when I lived in Wisconsin. Sadly, regional accents and expressions have disappeared over the years. Southern Appalachia has some very unique expressions and ways of speaking certain words.

The term bubbler was pretty much confined to the Milwaukee area, but many German expressions remained.

This is also used in the Yoop, mainly during tourist season:
F ucking
I llinois
S hit
H ead

As is “those trolls” that live under the bridge, eh?

You’ve got your FIBS and you got your FIBWABS. It’s you standard FIB, but With A Boat!
Seen headed north on the weekends.
All in jest, of coarse!

I grew up in Detroit, MI, which is generally considered part of the Midwest, and never heard such language. We spoke like a dictionary there. (Southerners actually came to Detroit to lose their accents when seeking announcer/news jobs on TV.)
