Yooperland

The U.P. (Upper Peninsula) of Michigan where the people living there are often called Yoopers. Because the U.P. is so different from that of the rest of Michigan it is often thought that the U.P. should break off and form the 51 state, Yooperland. It is an impossible dream however and many Yoopers are content to be an unoffical 51st state (Puerto Rico can also claim this as they are a U.S. commonwealth). If Yooperland were to exist its capital would likely be either Marquette or Escanaba.

Aino:"Boy is it good to be in da Yooperland eh?"
Toivo: "You becha!"

yogo pogo

While composing email, txt, or IM, an amazing statement using incorrect grammar that produces a laugh, for example a parapraxis (Freudian slip)...
A slip up, that is amazing and clever that drives home a point.
Is energizing, funny, and makes your side hurt after many belly laughs!

Your female friend tells you about a mutual friend getting engaged... she says "wow, it is an amazing 'rock'!"
You then state to your friend, "I would love to give you an amazing cock..." funny but true, "now thats yogo pogo!"
