yooper

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---

I'm a Yooper and proud of it! :)

yapper snapper

A disparaging term for a pneumatic little canine bark-box who also bites.

Watch out for that annoying little yapper snapper, he looks cute but he can draw blood!

youper

youper means to kill yourself by skinning yourself and jumping down your school counselor's chimney. It is best to do this well singing christmas songs.

"We should go Youper Mr. Bleach's chimney ."

Yapper Napper Treats

A special dog treat formulated to put that neighborhood yapper into doggie dreamland for the night when you can’t sleep.

I threw just one of the Yapper Napper Treats to my neighbor’s dog and heard her snap it up in a second; it was no yapping after that, I slept like a baby!

Yapper Zapper

A humane and highly effective stun-gun type of instrument that’s used to silence the highly annoying yapper next door who is the bane of your otherwise quiet existence.

I got myself a Yapper Zapper and was pleased to see that it gently ushers any yappy dog into a sudden and prolonged nap that is pleasurable both to the dog as well as to the entire neighborhood!
