Wisconnie Yachty

You've heard the term Ebonics, well here in Wisconsin we have Wisconics.  Everywhere I go people tell me that they can really tell that I have an accent.  While it's not as thick as those from the UP (Upper Peninsula of Michigan) or Canada ('eh), it is still distinguishable.  For those of you who are not familiar with how we speak in the midwest, or more specifically in Wisconsin I decided to compile a list of common words and phrases that we use and their meanings.  Hope you all get a good laugh and learn something from this. -You Guys Comin' Wit, Er No?

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, ...
