I live in Minnesota. I don't know many people who have the stereotypical Minnesotan accent; really, unless you live in rural areas, most people have a pretty plain accent.

I work in Faribault right now and I will say that pretty much everybody who grew up in this town has the MN accent to some extent. Don't know if that counts as rural since it's only an hour south of the Cities, but it certainly has enough cows to be the middle of nowhere.

I'm rural Minnesota and we say "uff-da" and everything lol

To be honest I've hardly seen anything that takes place in Minnesota where actual accents were used. iirc even something like Mighty Ducks they all spoke without distinguishable accents. Drop Dead Gorgeous did awesome (and hilarious) Minnesota accents, though. Exaggerated a bit but not as exaggerated as we like to claim.

What's your take on Fargo, then?

I grew up in the Twin Cities but my family is from California and I never traveled much around Minnesota as a kid. I wasn't even aware there was such a thing as a Minnesota regional accent until Fargo came out. I'd never heard anyone talk like that and I didn't believe it was a real thing until I started hearing people commenting on it. I honestly thought American regional accents were only a thing in the east and south and the rest of the country had one monolithic accent (which we almost do).
