Brogue of Bismarck

As we all know from watching the movie Fargo, the North Dakotans have themselves a tendency to draw out their long O and pronounce some of their words as if they are living in South Canada. Because this is difficult to replicate in written word, consider this posting (O^2)fficial notice that the symbol O^2 - that’s O squared for you non-engineers - is intended to replicate the accent.

Additional lingual idiosyncrasies identified so far include the substitution of “for” for “that’s” or “you’re”.

Example 1: Oh, that’s funny = Oh, you’re funny = O^2, for funny.

Example 2: Oh, that’s cute = Oh, you’re cute = O^2, for cute.

O^2, for whack!
