I am 71 years old and have lived in Michigan all my life (except 4 years of college in Indiana) and I have never heard or used "ope"! I definitely say "meer" for mirror, and my Indiana friends have commented on that to me!

I visit some college friends in Indiana every year, and they tell me about my "Michigan accent"!

Never heard the term "fudgie" but I totally get it. I live in NC now, and have friends going to Mackinac Island this fall. Guess what I asked them to bring back for me?? 🤭

Oh wow 8 not that suprising

There is actually the northern michigan accent and the lower michigan accent i have both

uffda = up the .... road

I have noticed at least two Michiganders pronounce the word 'back' as 'byack'. Is specific to Michigan? Someone please shed some light on this.

So beautiful

nailed every single one. only thing is… i am canadian

Michiganders love to say "What accent?!" Which is preposterous because we have a STRONG and easily identifiable one! In fact, most of us would say "yaxsunt" for accent. I left Sault Ste Marie in 1980 for Arizona and I still get asked what part of MI I am from at least weekly.

They call it the MIDWEST because everything is MID.

The Ope is killer 😂

If Waffle House is open your good

Love your sweatshirt!

Totally!

Spostu be grage. There.

Wow, that's a new one for me...

TOO FUNNY

Definitely "pitcher" :)

Meanwhile the manager is getting on the grocery store employees for not mentioning the store credit card 😅

And the "groceries" was milk and bread.

I feel weird. I'm from Michigan (born and raised) and I always say soda, I don't like saying pop because it's too slow. The p sound takes too much time, while the word soda is just quicker, it flows better for me.

Ohio sucks. Football sucks...they are flat and nothing to do other than cedar point.

Mom from Hancock/Houghton, dad from Grand Rapids, we lived in Traverse City for a while when I was in grade school. Fudgies are very much a trope in TC. I still talk super fast and elide all my Ts (winner/winter being the worst one!). And I say "ope" probably 300 times a day. I live in Italy now and no one knows what the hell I'm talking about in English lol. It's not a clear accent for ESL speakers. Also? You are the cutest, keep posting. Mwah!

Your laugh is annoying.

I heard upper peninsula michigansers sound Scandinavian

Married to a Brooklynite and living here in NY, I have to remember to pronounce the T in "winter" or else everyone thinks I'm saying "winner" even with the glottal stop and everything. Sigh.

June bugs clustered on the screen door under the porchlight....

Michigander here, I've been in Florida for over 30 years. I still say Ope all the time, even when I'm by myself!😅We're finally moving back, hopefully in Autumn. If you represent the kind of people we're moving back to I couldn't be happier. Now we just need to figure out which area we're moving to. Probably somewhere Up North. Liked, subbed and all the rest.💜

Wouldn't there be a gigantic warm spot because the sun heats the surface of the water like its a gigantic lense? 😂

Lol

The Original name in the beginning was, "Meijers Thrifty Acres". Then we referred to it as, "Thrifties". Yes, I'm old enough to remember when Meijers Thrifty Acres was brand new. And BoB Seeger played at our high school dances. And Glen Frey graduated from our high school in Royal Oak. Sadly, the Royal Oak post office was the very first incident of " Going Postal".

Got to = godda or gotta

MELK is common in the Holland, MI area at least. MELK is the Dutch pronunciation of that word. My suspicion is that it's so close to the English pronunciation that it was perhaps one piece of the old accent that snuck through. I used to tease my mother about it all the time, and then I started studying Dutch and went OHHHH... both of her parents spoke at least some Dutch and were raised by fluent Dutch speakers. Here's the one I got teased about when I moved to Los Angeles. May Not = Mayn't= Maint (rhymes with paint) "You maint do that here." Also, Too Yet. "I went to the bank, the church, and gotta go get groceries too yet."

I now live in NC, and have retrained myself to say soda instead of pop. Grew up in Detroit.

It’s just how we speak, you don’t have to correct us.

Canada is just across the Detroit River

Similarly

Not conversate. Converse.

I want to say Michiganian

I got all of them I didnt realize i had an accent

I got all of these besides the milk one-

😂 And we can’t play euchre, because someone WILL slam on the table. 😂

Western Michigan IS beautiful. 👍

Haven't lived in MI for 20 years and still say "meer." 😀

I live about half an hour south of Battle Creek. I feel like I live in the boring part of Michigan 😭

Way I got all of them right

Didn’t realize people actually live in the UP until a few years ago

The way I said “where do you buy groceries”
