OK, I'll bite. What is 'Yooper-speak'?
JB, "Yoopers" is what those of us in the Michigan Upper Peninsula are called; well, strictly speaking it refers to natives of the UP, but I've been here for so long that they've come to accept me as one of their own... a lot of Canadian and Scandinavian influence on the language, combined with a healthy dose of hillbilly.
