Laura Yuen: With some help from my colleagues at the Minnesota Star Tribune, here’s a short guide to regionalisms you may hear in our state and the Upper Midwest. Hopefully, native speakers will find this attempt at translation at least a notch above “not too bad.”

unrleated but a friend asked how I pronounce the word "poem".

MEMORY UNLOCKED.

I was LIVID with a study workbook in Japan (so 6 to 10 y.o., which was 2nd or 3rd to 5th grade for me).

Fucking thing dinged me for saying "fire" was TWO syllables.

Because it IS!
If "fire" was ONE syllable, it would be "Far", a different fuckign word.

"Fai yer" or "fie err".
