    Northern expressions

    We do family camp every year with our church, and every year there is a talent show, which usually consists of funny "talents". One year I took crazy lines from '80s pop songs, and put them all together into a poem. This year I and a couple of other people want to do something different. (I can't say what, as it's meant to be a surprise, and I have a couple people from church who occasionally read here) what I need from y'all are Yankee expressions. Sorry... Let me be politically correct Northern expressions.

    For example, we say y'all all the time here in the South. Can y'all think of anything distinctively Northern? (Preferably, one syllable) also.... Needs to be northern U.S. Not Canada.... Sorry my far north friends. :)

    It would be even better if y'all knew of a Youngstown, Ohio expression!

    We talk 'normal', its you Southerners that have that lazy twang and talk weird. I guess the closest one syllable word someone up here might use is 'youse'.

    Yaaa... I know. I can hardly understand some of the people from the east coast of Canada either. I probably haven't even done that great of a job trying to impersonate them.
