Twitter Reacts To Learning What “Duck Duck Goose” Is Called In Minnesota (30 Tweets)

My girlfriend is from Minnesota and every time we go visit for an extended time, I learn something new about the way they do things there. They have a unique way of saying things. Casseroles are called “hot dish” and they say “You betcha!” a lot.

It’s become one of my favorite regional dialects, but one thing I don’t understand is how they play “Duck Duck Goose,” and I’m not alone because anyone who didn’t grow up there seems to agree.

Particularly those who shared their thoughts in this viral thread that sparked a debate about the proper way to play “Duck Duck Goose.”
