Wisconsin stereotypes

No, we don't all live on farms, milk cows, drive trucks, and ride tractors - and yes, there are cities in Wisconsin - big ones.

You know you're from Wisconsin when....
  • Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow
  • You can recognize someone from Illinois from their driving
  • You know what a bubbler is
  • You have gotten frostbitten and sunburned in the same week.
  • You can actually pronounce Oconomowoc.
  • Your idea of a traffic jam is 10 cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
  • You know several people who have hit a deer.
  • You know where Waukesha is AND can pronounce it.
  • You hear someone use the word "oof-dah" and you don't immediately break into uncontrollable laughter.
  • You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.
  • You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.
  • You know all four seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter and Construction.
  • You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
  • You think it's nice enough to swim when the temperature hits 50.
  • Bucky the Badger hangs on your Christmas tree even if you didn't go to University of Wisconsin Madison.
  • If you refer to U-W Madison as Madison.
  • You loved it when the Brewers hit a home run so the guy would slide from the huge keg into the mug of beer.
  • At every wedding you have been to you have had to dance the hoky poky and the chicken dance.
  • You know that it's traditional for the bride and groom to go bar hopping between the ceremony and the reception.
