As a Marquette alum and IL resident i found sconnies to be very strange. calling pop "soda", water fountain's "bubblers", and Friday fish fires. They are also extremely friendly but I have no problem with that. did someone dose the drinking water in Wisco or what? Why are sconnies so different from FIP's?
-
haha, seriously?
-
Seriously
-
Also, I like my groceries in plastic bags, not begs.
-
Epic first post
-
I eat my fish fried on Fridays, not fired.
-
Uh, what is a FIP?
FIB I am familiar with, but a FIP? Is bastard so offensive it had to be replaced by person/people?
-
That was an epic first post. I also like my fish fried, never fired, I prefer "FIB" to "FIP" (F*ing Illinois Person? I guess its gender neutral, but we aren't exactly aiming for politically correct on the term anyway), and I guess I'm just happy that you have no problem with friendly people. I wont defend bubbler.
I'm surprised you weren't confused about how you were living in "Muh-waukee" instead of "Milwaukee" when you came to MU as well.

actual sconnies would know more about that than I would
-
Also, what's the deal with the motorized scooters? People everywhere are riding in those rascal things.
-
Guys ease up....after all he is from "Chi cau go"

Plus, what's with all of the hooplah about the Dells. I don't get it

Sconnies think the dells is Miami beach or something

Yet, how many Illinois license plates are there every year?

Homeless people bathe in water fountains.
We drink out of bubblers.

Is this some way of feeling better about the most recent NFC Championship?
-
Are people avoiding the scooter question? It's not that tough to walk

Hippies smoke bubblers. People drink out of water fountains
-
I personally say "drinking fountain", maybe sometimes "water fountain". No idea what there is about drinking/water fountains that involves bubbles.
-
Ding Dong DJO. People from WI, don't do the Dells. Folks from Wisco, go Up North. Also, I believe the term bubbler came from a company named Bubbler, that manufactured water fountains. And people ride scooters in Wisco, because we have an epic amount of the morbidly obese. I saw a 14 year old, 400 lb. Kid on one of those once.
-
Bubbler origin, I was close. Kohler trademarked the term back in 1890's.
-
Bubbler is the one word growing up in Wisconsin and then going to college out of state I always found to be pretty unique to WI. Soda however isn't. I still hate the word "pop". What do you call a vodka with soda water? A vodka pop?

You say give me a motherfu*kin voka pop. And then dont pay for it

A common misconception about Wisconsin is that we are a 'fat person state'.
Thanks TV!

I'm definitely going to start ordering voka pops. I'm not sure if I'll pay for them or not.

Milwaukee is probably also the only place where people say that they eat 'bakery' instead of baked goods or simply donuts

You will probably have to pay because you didnt say motherF'ing.

Whats the deal with hard rolls in wisconsin.
I am from St. Louis original, came up here for school and got a job and been working here for almost 4 years. For birthdays people have to bring in treats for everyone. sometimes, like today, someone occasionally brings in hard rolls and butter. Am I missing something? What is there about a hard roll that someone would consider it a treat. I get it if it comes with soup, but by its self and butter?

That's nothing. On Long Island where Mrs. Reinko is from, people show up to BBQ's with a dozen Dunkin' Donuts and call it "dessert".
-
I think you guys just run into random weird people.
-
Naw, the hard rolls are for real. I grew up eating them with butter. It's a German thing, and I ran into them served for breakfast when I visited Germany.
-

You calling MRS. REINKO weird? :P

anywhere else bakery only means the actual building/business selling sweet rolls etc. whereas here many people call sweet rolls "bakery"

this thread is the first time I've seen the term Sconnies and I've lived here for 45 of my 50 years

I much prefer Sconnie over Cheesehead - by A LOT! I always thought Sconnie was the "derogatory" term people from MN called people from Wisco.

Kids these days don't even know about Tyme machine huh?
Man, the confusion that one caused...

We also call them paczki and they're mother f'ing delicious. (http://media.jsonline.com/images/paczki16_6a.jpg)
Also for all the Illinois people wondering about "distinctly wisconsin things." You may keep Lena Taylor and Chris Larson, some call them "Senators" Most call them "dumbasses"
-

Took me a year of ridicule and confusion in college to switch to calling it an ATM. Could be worse, I had a friend from central Ohio who called them Green Machines, and still does.

Being from Ohio, that term makes sense to me. Though I haven't ever really called them green machines.
-

You misunderstand. I have never heard a single person call sweet rolls, "bakery".
I've lived in WI for 28 of my 29 years of life.

Paczki's are not a Wisconsin thing. They are a Polish thing.
So, if anything it's an Illinois thing due to the Polish population.

Sconnie is a term a couple UW students trademarked a couple years ago in reference to the university.

are you really trying to attempt to start a pissing contest over a jelly donut?
A) Milwaukee has a large polish population too
B) I posted that on Fat Tuesday because they are traditionally a Fat Tuesday item
-
Could be. It was a pretty entrepreneurial thing. They sell shirts with the saying and everything.

What's Fat Tuesday? Is that another name for Paczki Day?

I must lead a sheltered life .. until this very thread, I'd never heard of "Sconnie."
-

They took a derogatory term and made it positive, good thinking. I actually embrace the Sconnie name much more than cheesehead.

You mean things are different in each state?! Holy crap I think the world is going to explode!

Fat people in Wisconsin is not a common misconception or TVs fault. It is a reality.
1) half of the city rides around on motorized scooters because walking is too much of a challenge
2) from my time in Milwaukee, Ive come to realize that Sconnies love to put ranch dressing on EVERYTHING. Just because Ranch is from Hidden Valley doesent make it an exotic food
3) Milwaukee is ALWAYS in the top five fattest cities in America

MYTH...in reality, Chicago is much less healthy than Milwaukee.
-
People in Chicago work, so a good portion of them can't find the time to work out. Also, I wouldn't consider a starving homeless man running from the police "fit."

Milwaukee 11th fittest....Chicago 13th fattest. I am from Chicago so I am not being biased at all....although I do live in the 3rd fittest city presently.

Milwaukee is the largest of all Chicago suburbs. If it wasn't for the Chicago fire, it would still be some no name town.

What suburb did you grow up in? Those of us who did grow up in the CITY of Chicago would never make comments like you have been making.

I always take the BMI indexes with a grain of salt. I am 24, 6"3' and 230, and I have worked out regularly since graduating high school where I played 3 sports. I could probably lose a couple pounds but I definitely don't have much of a belly and I am 1 point away from being considered Obese. (I just used the first site that popped up when i googled BMI as my measurement) In order to be considered a normal weight, I would have to be 6"9.

The BMI was developed by insurance companies in the 1930s to rate people for policies. It hasn't changed since. There is virtually no medical data at all in the formula.

I agree the measurement is imperfect, however there's no denying the % of obese population is growing, and it's not because most people are working out every day. It's because they're fat.

Hey Illinois people -- Do you remember when the Packers beat 'da bears' to get into the playoffs?!?! Couldn't get any better... could it?? But if I remember correctly, the Packers went into your spaceship of a stadium and knocked out your dbag QB!! But there is no possible way it could get any better after beating 'da bears' in their own stadium to go to the Super Bowl, could it? Oh but it did! I'm pretty sure that the Packers preceded to go onto Dallas and win the mfking SUPER BOWL. WORLD CHAMPIONS.
Wisconsin has ultimate bragging rights over anyone in Illinois FOREVER.
Wisconsin > Illinois

The ultimate bragging right over the Bears is when that nimrod Urlacher has an open field for a TD on the interception and the panywaist QB from the Packers throws out an arm to bring Urlacher down. What a kitten Urlacher is. He should have retired immediately after that play.

Any body else tired of Sconnie. I am. Seems like an east coast, ESPN patronization.
I think the "Sconnies" vs. "Coasties" thing is amusing -- and makes the Univ. of Wis. seem a bit more worldly. Never heard of it till long after my four years in the state, though.

I only just heard about it. I think it applies (or should) only to the UW people. I was born and raised in WI until moving to Denver last summer and will never, ever consider or refer to myself as being a "Sconnie" or having anything to do with the "Sconnie Nation"

Also, what's the deal with the motorized scooters? People everywhere are riding in those rascal things.

That's a really good one... you were the guy who posted this thread trying to hate on us 'Sconnies' as you call us, seems like you should be the one yelling at 14 year olds! I was simply pointing out that the Packers beat the Bears twice and won the Super Bowl AKA we have ultimate bragging rights over ANY Illinois sporting fan... which FIB's seem to brag about their sporting teams awfully too much for the 1985 Super Bowl team they had and that 100+ year streak for baseball.
All I am saying is that in terms of state bragging rights, Wisconsin holds the upper hand, therefore you have no right to be hating on us 'Sconnies'. Hell, you guys have to pay tolls.

Conveniently forgetting a Stanley Cup last year, a bunch of Bulls titles, and a World Series in the last 5 years. And I forgot where bragging about the sports team you love is a crime. Bragging isn't a problem, being an obnoxious douche is, but I'm sure you know that...

Haha, exactly what I am doing.. bragging about my sports team that just won the mfking Super Bowl. I cannot stand FIB's as to why you think I am being an 'obnoxious douche'... typical ignorance.

Yep I'm the ignorant one when you state you hate "FIBs" for doing exactly what you are doing. You stated
"Wisconsin has ultimate bragging rights over anyone in Illinois FOREVER."
Because of one Super Bowl? Seriously? And I just find it humorous that Brewers fans make fun of the Cubs when they have 0 Division titles. Since the Brewers joined, the Cubs have 3. Or if I was a Sox fan, I could claim the same number of division titles plus a WS. But hey, I guess thats just my typical FIB ignorance.
