Any WisCANsinites out there?

Does north Chicago area count? My grandparents, parents, siblings and I were all born here. Every I know has that thick Chicago accent, except my family. I'm not sure why, maybe retarded people don't make words so good like you or me, ya know?

The worst accent ever, imo.

And there are some bad ones, state to state, region to region. But Wisconsin wins, hands down. I think it's because it is so nasal.

I am no Cheesehead but my ex was born in Manitowoc and I've visited there often. Thankfully, my ex somehow managed to NOT speak with that accent but I was always amused with it when I visited there. They call the next=door town, Two Rivers, "Trivers" and the town of St. Nazienz was called "Snaziens." When they go "over by Jim's" they mean they went TO Jim's house -- not somewhere in the vicinity of Jim's. Also, they don't understand the verb "to lend." They say instead, "Hey, can you borrow me some money?" ... meaning can you LEND me some money. If they say, "Fred works over by Engineering" it means that Fred works AT the famed Manitowoc Crane factory. Incidentally, I went on a tour at the Manitowoc Crane works; it was fascinating.

I was born and raised in Manitowoc county and about 4 miles from the Avery place. I haven't lived there in about 20 years but I visit the area and have lost most of my accent but not all of it. Anyhow, I think the heaviest of Wisconsin accents are the rural parts of the state and thickest to me is above Madison and Milwaukee. People from the southern part of the state have the accent but not nearly as thick. So anyhow here are some of my favorites from back home with some translations for you.

aboat = about
Are you coming with? (do you want to come along?)
tree = the number three of course a tree
are you coming for supper then? = are you coming to dinner?
Yoos guys = you all/the group
Bubbler = water fountain
going up nort = going up north which usually means going to your cabin up north
Are you going to that tavern then? which would roughly mean are you going to the bar?
Shunta = shouldn't have

There are many more but they are hard to spell and it sounds better when we say it :)

Haha, some amusing answers, thanks. It's very strange the way some accents grate.

Please put some dashes above your sig line so I won't think it's part of your dumb post.

I don't even think I noticed much  As long as I can understand a person, I don't care about their accent and sometimes don't even notice it much. The only accent in the States I find awful is certain southern ones--the drawl is fine it's maybe the Cajun accent I'm thinking of. None of it makes a lick of sense and I can't stand it.

I'm from Minnesota, but from the cities where most don't have much of that Fargo-ish accent. I remember when I saw my cousin who has lived up in northern MN for over half her life and she suddenly had it, and I was like what happened to you?!
