Yah

So whö dä heÿ is a readin me in a Nørwåy?

Aside: the literal meaning of "uff da" is "well, then." But as we Scandinavians know, it's actually Norwegian for "oy vey."

I was trying to teach my daughter how we talk Up Nort over Christmas. The key is to work the phrases ice fishin and you betcha in as much as possible. It's also important to emphasize your O's, most definitively in the word MinnesOta. Make your final th's into t's, so you would call me John Deet. But be careful not to make the th to t drop sound Italian.
