Ok all you mitten state folks! Here's something to go hunting for!
Never heard of this and apparently it was discovered just 3 years ago.
WOW, so cool!

Yooper is from the letters U P for Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Folks have their colloquial phrases and way of speech ... eh-yeh?

Ah! Makes perfect sense now, thanks Spirit
I've only been as far as Birch Run, hitchhiked there with my boyfriend to see his parents in 1979? No...I think it was 1977, saw the band Styx at a venue in Flint, 5 bucks was the cost of that concert ticket! That was my only visit to Michigan, we stayed with his friend in Frankenmuth. I remember the forest being so densely thick in that area you couldn't walk between the trees.
