If South Dakota Had An ‘Official Word’ Would This Be It?
My dog has nothing to do with South Dakota's official word. But he does love to eat it. Chislic, that is.
Slate.com tried to answer the question: If every state had an official word, what would it be?
Here are some of the answers they came up with and they used the word in a sentence for us:
South Dakota: chislic (noun): cubed meat
-The only available appetizer was the chislic that made me sick.
Minnesota: uff da (expression): a brief statement of surprise or disgust
-Uff da, was Jesse Ventura really the governor at one point?
Iowa: kybo (noun): port-a-potty
-Whoa, I gotta go! Where’s the kybo?
Nebraska: runza (noun): a pastry consisting mainly of ground beef and cabbage
-Runzas seem like they would be completely gross, but they are surprisingly delectable.
I don't know if i'd pick these words as official state words or not. What do you think!
