Yoopers (674 words)
For example, if a Yooper wishes to express that he or she is going hunting, he or she states "I go deer camp", and if a Yooper wants to ask you to go somewhere with him or her, "Go Green Bay?" is usually what they say.
Like Canadians, Yoopers will often punctuate the ends of their sentences with "Eh", which is derived from the English "hey" and is used to denote a statement the other person is sure to agree with.
Yoopers can be suspicious of outsiders, especially if one does not have knowledge about smelting (fishing for tiny fish called smelt, with nets, in the spring), hunting, snowmobiling, or taking saunas.
