This expression conveys a range of emotions, such as surprise, dismay, or exhaustion. It reflects the region's strong Norwegian influence and is often used in everyday conversation. The phrase has become a cultural touchstone, symbolizing the area's rich immigrant history.

English is a second language to the Upper Midwestern states as the communities were largely German, Scandinavian and Native American.

The Midwest is a colorful synonym for the North Central States. Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota & South Dakota compose the Upper Midwest. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas compose the Lower Midwest. Iowa and Nebraska could be put in either subregion. Some maps show an incorrect depiction of these subregions. ALL portions of states like Indiana and Missouri lie within the Lower Midwest. Even calling the northern ends of Ohio and Illinois the "Upper Midwest" is stretching the truth. Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee and Oklahoma are South Central States. And consequently, they are NOT part of the Midwest. These latter states are part of the Mid-South.
