Mike Hunt Says...

[VegasWarrior77]

The "TYME" machine  was the Original ATM....

yes, Take Your Money Everywhere....  I think M&I (Marshall & Ilsey) bank started it.. I'm pretty sure it was mid- 70's...

The first TYME machine was in Cross Plains, WI (just west of Madison).

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Tyme is an acronym for:

Take
Your
Money
Everywhere

I remember the TYME Machine.  It was ATM back home and had to remember to say TYME when back at school.

Speaking of which, how did students survive Marquette before the advent of the TYME Machine as in "I need to run to TYME Machine after final call at the The Lanche because I don't have anything left for Real Chilli (or Guiliano's)."

[Spotcheck Billy]

6. I've never heard anyone call it a Tyme machine
7. I must be misreading your phonetic representation of the accent... because I don't think I've ever heard that one.
13. Are we familiar with the same Milwaukee?
14. You're mistaking Milwaukee with Philly again.

other #7 being Ma-Waukee (there is no L in Milwaukee the El is in Chicago) you must be too young for the other 3

[mu-rara]

Doc you can say dat a hunnert times but I'm still eating my bakery!

Keefe,

What you call Milwaukee accent was known as the "sout side accent" (sorry. Da Sout Side).  Also spoken in West Bend and Sheboygan County.  And, in those areas "cards"  means sheepshead, (or sheephead in Plymouth).

[4everwarriors]

How many of you guys are from Illinoise?

[Spotcheck Billy]

Hell, we all know this because someone smarter than all of us collectively said this enough times for it to become a scientific fact (I believe you have to say something two times a day for six years - give or take - and it becomes true... at least it does for the Nobel committee).  Except that we know said smartypants obviously didn't mean to imply that he was recruiting during the dead period (which doesn't actually exist according to the aforementioned gods and their view of time-space), and the signing periods, which there are two.  So there appears to be at least more than three, but certainly less than four, recruiting seasons for each basketball season.

this explains a lot of posts by chicos and ners

Keefe,

What you call Milwaukee accent was known as the "sout side accent" (sorry. Da Sout Side).  Also spoken in West Bend and Sheboygan County.  And, in those areas "cards"  means sheepshead, (or sheephead in Plymouth).

Holidays at the in-laws meant Sheepshead marathons. I haven't played in years but it was 32 cards with Queens and spades being trump. There were terms like Mauer, Blitz, Scmaltz, Schmear, Crack, and re-Crack. Talk about a Teutonic game.

I hear what you are saying about the difference between Nort side and Sout side but make no mistake - everyone in Milwaukee has an accent. I knew about the socio-economic chasm dividing Milwaukee into two hemispheres but I found it odd when Nort siders would mock the speech patterns of Sout siders when, in fact, they themselves had similarly thick accents that were essentially identical to an outsider. I actually like the Wisconsin accent as it is unique so none of my comments are in any way pejorative.  

[Chicago_inferiority_complexes]

Everyone around here keeps referring to some woman, "Ellenois."

[Anti-Dentite]

Oh God, I have to be honest here, I still call it a tyme machine. Just got called out on it a couple weeks ago by a friend from Montana. Here's another one..."Highway one hundred" is referred to as "highway a hundred" by us locals. Yes, I grew up in 'Stallis.

My wife is from Stallis and she drops the "a" on occasion.  "Highway hundred."

[MU82]

You forgot some other quaint Wisconsin colloquialisms that give such local charm and flavor to the Marquette experience.


3. "Go By"  

Milwaukeeans do not go to or stop at a destination. They "go by."  

"Did you go by Gilles Custard der, hey?"

"Well, no, I stopped at Gilles and bought some custard."

"So you went by Gilles den, aina!"



4. "Real Quick"  

Used to soften a request despite the fact that the expression has no correlation to any time quotient.

"Hey der, woodja go by da Grebes and pick up some bakery real quick?"


5. "er no?"

Used to engender consensus or to eliminate ambiguity.

" You going by da Kohl's der on 27th er no?"


6. TYME Machine

8. "On Accident"

Randomness versus Intent


"Hey Ziggy, jew leave your coat at da tavern last night on accident?"


9. "Interesting"

Code for tastes like sh1t

"Dat's some interesting fish in dat sushi place over der on Oakland donchaknow."



10. "Up Nort'"

Northern Wisconsin. Also used to indicate a period of time away from Mo'Waukee spent fishing for Norderns and crappies.

"Ya, we were Up Nort' der hey. Stosh got a really big lunker."


11. "One Time"

Used to soften a demand.

"Gimme dat remote one time der hey!"


12. "TH"

There is a complete lack of the dental frictive phonemes in Wisconsin, likely because of the Germanic/Scandinavian heritage of its original white settlers.

There - Der
This - Dis
That - Dat
Them - Dem
They - Dey
The - Da


13. "Stop 'N Go Signs"

Traffic Signals

"Well, ya go true da stop 'n go sign der den take a louie by da Dutchland Dairy"

"We went up nort' der too yet."


18. "Mock Chicken Leg"

A pork product described as being not chicken.

"What's for supper der Edziu?"

"Mock chicken legs wit kraut."






 

Fun list that brings back many memories, keefer.

But I'm gonna tell ya that my father-in-law, who has spent about 85 of his 88 years in Chicago, hasn't pronounced a "th" in all his time on earth.

Which also is the case with every other lifelong Chicagoan I know. They also say "go by."

My favorite is when my father-in-law says both of his cousins will be doing something: "Da boata dem gonna go by Judy's."

I'm guessing that some of these phrases migrated up from Chicago to Milwaukee rather than vice versa, but perhaps it was the other way around.

Aina?

[Coleman]

While not identical dialects, linguistically, Chicago and Milwaukee have way more in common than residents of either city are probably willing to admit. I'm guessing that's due to the fact that they both had massive Polish, German and Irish immigrant populations.

I was keeping my list to Wisconsin colloquialisms.  What you've taken here is a conglomerate of Milwaukee, Stallis, Sheboygan, and Yooper colloquialisms that aren't quite as pervasive throughout Wisconsin as Keefe would think.

Maybe it was my proximity to Madison growing up, but I only recall using (or hearing) 4, 6 & 8 on that list.

And 16 isn't just Wisconsin... I've heard that one all over.

[🏀]

Lots of yooper in that list.

Yup.

As a frosh in 93, everyone referred to the ATM as the TYME machine.

Then when it was explained to me that it was Take Your Money Everywhere, I thought it was just the naming of such machines in the Milwaukee area.

Then Chicago people told me they had TYME machines in Chicago.

I was confused...

I wasn't the only one...

Residents commonly referred to ATMs as a "Tyme machine," which has resulted in confusion when Wisconsinites visiting unfamiliar areas would ask the locals where they could find a "time machine".

Yep.

My wife is from Stallis and she drops the "a" on occasion.  "Highway hundred."

yup Hwy Hunnert to many sout' siders

and Moorland Rd. is often pronounced as Moreland (that one really bothers my wife so I use it at every opportunity)

[VegasWarrior77]

Oh for cripes sake!  There are some "dis, dem, dozers" throughout the dairy state!

Queens, Jacks and Diamonds are trump.

And you are from up nort if the jack of diamonds is partner in five handed.  Down south, you played call an ace as partner.

What ever happened to  " once, hey"

As in  "Trow the shoes down the stairs once, hey"    I remember hearing that a lot back in the day

TYME was a consortium of banks in the Milwaukee area which sponsored the 24 hour teller machines.  The phrase ATM came later.  Milwaukee was one of the pioneers in this area as George Dalton and others paved the way.

[mr.MUskie]

Tyme machine maybe more of an '80s and '90s thing, but TYME was the dominate name used around here for ATM.  TYME had the market and the machines were called TYME machines and it became the generic term for ATM.  I don't hear it much anymore.  

A buddy of mine, when outside the Milwaukee area, got some very strange looks and questions when he asked a gas station attendant if they had a time machine.  

In the Chicago area it was the Cash Station.
