Yooper
Yooper is a form of North Central American English mostly spoken in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which gives the dialect its name (from "U.P." for Upper Peninsula). The dialect is also found in many northern areas of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and largely in Northeast Wisconsin.

I crossed the "Mack-uh-knaw" Bridge in an AMX w/3 college co-eds on out way to Marquette MI to NMU, which any college-age and college-bound MI resident can probably inform you in the home of "Northern," like Kalamazoo is the home of "Western," and Ypsi is the home of "Eastern."
