Surprising regional words of MN (Dakota: live, vs., title)

[HiFi]

I grew up in Hastings in the 80s/90s and I have never heard duck, duck, goose until today. It was duck, duck, gray duck (that sounds way better anyways). My father was from Hastings and my mother from Waterloo Iowa, if my mother knew it different she never said so.


duck, duck, goose doesn't even sound natural to say, its jarring and unsettling to my Minnesotan ears

It's wrong. 'Nuff said.

Duck, duck, blue duck!
Duck, duck, red duck!
Duck, duck, black duck!
Duck, duck, grey duck!! *runs*

I grew up in northern Minnesota and always heard "duck, duck, goose". We sometimes played the "gray duck" variation, but goose was always the way to go.

What's on tap?

In a bar do you get a tap or a draught?[/quote]

In a bar I would ask "what's on tap?" and receive "a draught". Funny!
(This is what I learned in Chicago.)

Grew up in the east metro and it was duck, duck, grey duck

Hot Dish is a MN word, too. It's casserole most other places..

Duck Duck Goose in Western Wisconsin. Both hot dish and casserole were words we used.

I've heard freeway numbers spoken with the definite article ("the 5" or "the 10") not just in Southern California, but also in Phoenix.

I've been told by several people that the two were different. Hot dishes are cream-of-... soup based, while casseroles are tomato sauce-based. Of course, I've also heard each term used to describe each one, so I suspect the above rule only applies to the people who told me about tast rule.

I like the term hot dish. It serves as a warning.

That is how it was growing up in the metro area for us too. Never heard of duck, duck, goose until I went to college.

I don't like beer so tap/draught doesn't matter.

The difference is a hot~dish does not contain a noodle a casserole does.
A casserole does not use any potato products and a hot~dish does
