Summary"ARE YOU READY TO SPEAK FLUENT WISCONSINITE? Have you ever wondered how to navigate a conversation at a fish fry, survive a tailgate in a snowstorm, or explain why Kwik Trip is the eighth wonder of the world? Look no further. Wayne Larson's Wisconsin Dictionary is here to decode the words, phrases, and quirks that make the Badger State truly unique. This isn't just a dictionary-it's a laugh-out-loud celebration of all things Wisconsin. Packed with over 500 entries, this book will have you nodding in recognition and giggling over gems like: Kringle Crisis (noun) -- The panic and blame-shifting that erupts when the last piece of kringle vanishes without warning, especially before you've had a chance to grab some. Kwik Trip Coffee Connoisseur (noun) -- A true Wisconsinite who can not only identify a fresh Kwik Trip coffee brew by scent but also knows the optimal time to snag Glazers when they're still warm. Supper Club Shuffle (noun) -- The careful dance of choosing between the prime rib, Friday fish fry, or broasted chicken-because no Wisconsinite can pick just one without second-guessing. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this book guarantees you'll fit right in-or at least know why someone called you a "frozen tundra tourist.""--Page [4] of cover.
