I love that we're all spread across the planet--but at least some of you are in my general part of the world? I think? (Minneapolis)

If that's you, come to Wordplay on Saturday! I'll be on a panel about bodies at 10:30am, talking to Said Shaiye, and moderated by Kate Vogl. I know it will be good. And then I'm going to stick around to watch some truly fabulous later events.

@allisonwyss Do you have a Minnesotan accent? Sorry, tangentially related question.

@colorblindcowboy

God, I hope not. I didn't grow up here, so I don't think so. My kid says Uff-dah, though.

@allisonwyss Uff-dah?

@colorblindcowboy

Not sure of the spelling.

@allisonwyss I was just wondering what it means and how it's used.

@colorblindcowboy

It's a super minnesotan thing. It means like "ugh!" or maybe "wow!"

Or, I guess "oops!" Maybe "Oh no!"

@allisonwyss I do like a good multipurpose phrase/word.
