I found this "You know you're ____ when..." thing about Minnesota. Since I'm from Minnesota I thought I'd comment on it to how accurate it really is.

---
You know you're a Minnesotan if...


You measure distance in minutes.
(Yep)

Weather is 80% of your conversation.
(No, not really)

(Yes I do... When I'm in the Twin Cities...)

75% of your graduating high school class went to the Univ. of Minnesota.
(I'm still in Highschool...)

You know more than 1 person that has hit a deer.
(Yep, Myself included.)

People from other states love to hear you say words with "o"s in them.
(Eh, not really. People in southern Minnesota don't have mutch of an accent, all anyone in my school speaks is street, slang, and gangsta. It's very ethnically diverse)

You know what and where "Dinkytown" is.
(No I don't.)

"Perkins" was a popular hangout option in high school.
(Still in Highschool, and no it's not.)

You have no problem saying or spelling "Minneapolis."

(No I can't)

You hate "Fargo" but realize that a lot of your family has that accent.
(Yes I do hate Fargo, but none my family has that accent.)

You get mad at people who think Fargo is in Minnesota.
(Yes I do.)

Your school classes have been canceled because of snow or cold.

Nothing gets you madder than seeing a Green Bay sticker on a MN car.
(Not really. Both teams suck in my opinion)

You know what "uff-da" means and how to use it properly.
(No, I have never used that word in my life. You only find that in the far Northern Minnesota. The only close to stereotypical Minnesotan word I've used is 'y'know' when I'm explaining something to someone.)
