A native or inhabitant of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Yoopers are known to be extremely friendly and welcoming people and make anyone feel at ease. Most tourists leave the UP with a feeling that they can't wait to return.

Like other areas of the US, there is a regional dialect.
The dialect most associated with the Upper Peninsula is one with a strong Finnish influence. The reason the Finnish language seems to have had the most lasting impression on the dialect of the Upper Peninsula goes back to the mining boom. When Finnish immigrants first came to the Upper Peninsula.


"It is one of the prettiest places in the world".
---Henry Ford, 1920's---

A Yooeun is someone who will always laugh, even if your jokes aren't funny. She always brightens the room and is like a ray of sunshine. She's an intelligent sort of person and extremely talented in artistic fields. No, really, her artistic abilities are out of this world. She's a great friend and always gifts you with a smile. Everyone needs a Yooeun. Either find a Yooeun or become a Yooeun. Don't mess with a Yooeun unless you want to go against any of her squads. They potentially have paintbrushes, charcoal, and pencils on hand.
Who needs drugs when you can have a Yooeun.

The act of not making a purchase after working extremely hard on researching and selecting the desired product which is often essential for oneself.

The yooner will put in a high degree of research into the product and will find the best deal but end up missing out because they are not much fun.

A loose synonym to “missing out”
I found a great deal on a coffee machine. It’s being sold at a great price (20% off), I love coffee and it will pay for itself within weeks.

Hmm I won’t get it today because it might drop in price by another 50% tomorrow.

Next day: oh no, the coffee machine deal I found has expired before I could make the purchase, the price has increased 20% I yooned it.
