Michiganders who say "ruff" instead of "roof"
They do in Iowa as well. On one of my visits there a fellow kept talking about working on a ruff. I thought he was saying his work was rough and was wondering when he was going to get around to telling me just what kind of work was so rough. After a while I just walked away thinking he was just a whiner about how rough work is.

Gimme a pinch of backer. Or a dip of snuff, never hear the word Tobacco For the longest time , guys thought I was a jerk when they asked to " bum a chew". I'd tell them I didn't have any as I didn't chew tobacco . I dipped snuff.

haha - around here, people go to "The Walmarts" Same here... the Walmart’s Also my sister in-law does it all the time, says “wooder” when she means water. My wife used to always ask me for a “pin”... took some questions and I found she wanted a pen... Also, everything is a coke, no matter the brand. Tea only comes one way, no need to say the word sweet.... They are originally from Chesapeake Virginia.

Don't know if this will help... But, was born and raised in Northern Ohio and married a gal from Looooosssinna (that's how they pronounce it down there) and I can't understand a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) thing she says.

^^^^^^^ When I was a kid (late 60's - early 70's) all motor cycles, particularly dirt bikes, were "Honda's" no matter the brand.

If a cow is 6 months or so along, you can bump the calf with you fist behind the ribs on the left side, Hard grass is, as I understand it a desirable prairie grass. Interesting, never heard of hard grass. Grass cattle are light weight calves going to grass to gain weight before going on to a feedlot. I just typed another phrase “ going to grass” means getting turned out on pasture for a season. “Coming off grass” is the opposite or when you gather cattle off pasture late in the fall and move them to winter pasture. We gather cattle instead of rounding them up. A cow that’s getting some age but still has all her teeth is, short and solid.

I've heard the Arkansas river pronounced R- Kansas river when the correct way to pronounce it is R-Can-Saw river.

people here in Kansas call your state r Kansas too. we have a town named Arkansas City also . I bet you can guess how they say that too. It drives me bonkers. Nobody else anywhere in the country pronounces it that way. So I just call it Ark City. Its a common slang for it and everybody knows what Im taking about.
people in shakey get upset if you don't call rodeo drive roe day oe
