Minnesota/Twin Cities

So who wants to know about living exactly halfway between the equator and the north pole? (spoilers: it's fucking cold)

Do people really talk like in Fargo?

Depends on where you're from in the state, actually. A good general rule is that the younger someone is, and the closer to the Twin Cities they are, the less they'll sound like Fargo and the more they sound like general broadcast English. Unless you're from far out in the sticks, though, nobody's quite that bad.

That said, most of the word choice in that movie was dead fucking on, so there's that.

I am from Fargo. The answer is yes. :P

Okay, young people do it a little weaker, but older people definitely do it (though for the most part not quite as exaggerated). I lived abroad for a couple years and came back, and was shocked how, well, "Minnesotan/North Dakotan" we sound. Our vowels are stronger, I guess. Less clipped. Also, whenever I talk to old people - the majority of which are Scandinavian, and many had Norwegian parents - my accent gets a lot stronger and I definitely sound somewhere close to the movie.

I also say "uff-da" and have all my life, unironically.

I think people in small towns are more likely to have the accent. I don't think of Twin Cities people as speaking that way.
