Uff da

This is the Minnesotan way to say "Great!" in a really sarcastic way. It is Norwegian in origin. While I am being regional, both Nicollet Island (sits in the Mississippi river) and Nicollet Street in Minneapolis are named for a Joseph Nicollet who made some of the best maps of the upper Mississippi river and some of its tributaries. Nicollet Street is sometimes referred to as "Eat Street" because there are spots to eat along it. I endorse the Nicollet Diner personally.
