FUDGIES are NOT tourists in the UP, they are tourists in Northern LOWER Michigan (that is, NORTHERN MICHIGAN for short. We NEVER refer to the Upper Peninsula as "Northern Michigan," we call it "The UP"). I have heard the term Fudgies used almost exclusively in Traverse City.
+therealCamoron Yeah I was born and raised near Traverse City and I heard it used quite a bit, espcially for that special time of the year: The National Cherry Festival when all the fudgies show up in droves and all the locals go into hiding or have to leave for work early due to backed up traffic...
Ditto. I knew Party Store, Two Tracking and Fudgies. I want to know where people call a sliding glass door a Door Wall... And I'm grateful I wasn't raised calling them that. Did you know Jeeze O Petes is a Michigan thing? I didn't even realize that was a local phrase until I moved away.
Trey Marks i've heard of door walls (i'm from Livingston county) too. I mean everything else really made sense from just living here (like fudgies made a lot of sense even though i've never heard it before). I guess we just aren't Michigan enough
I know all of these except Hi-Low because i do nothing in construction, and Chuke because that is a yooper term. so ya, you're living under a rock son.
a couple of yoopers in chukes entered the party store through the door wall to get ready for the two tracker when a bunch of disappointed fudgies came out and almost got hit by the hi-low loaded with kegs.
I was born and raised in west Michigan and I have never heard of a fudgie or a door wall. However I hear party store, hi-low, and go two tracking on a daily basis.
Two track is not the bonfire. Two track refers to un-improved and often improvised roads, sometimes remnants of loging tails, which are only evidant becasue tires have packed down the dirt and grass won't grow there. You can go "two tracking" which is nothing more than driving these trails often ending up stuck in an un-marked swamp with no cell phone reception or other precarious situations. Ive heard people give directions down two tracks to get to a bonfire but never refer to the party itself as a "two tracker".
Also hi-lo are named that because that is the manufactuer's name stamped on the back of alot of them. Didn't take too much imagination to come up with it....
I've lived here for 57 years, and I've never heard of a "two-tracker". Maybe it's a young person term. "Chuke" is a bastardization of the original French-Canadian word for stocking cap, which is a "toque". "Fudgies" are tourists in general who visit the Upper Peninsula. Most people I know refer to "fudgies" as those tourists who go to Mackinaw Island as it is well-known for its "Ryba's Island Fudge". I have *no idea* what a *door wall* is and have never heard it in my life, nor even in Canada (I live right on the border). Why didn't you ask "euchre"? I know it's more popular with those Michigan cities near the border, but; *door wall*? We're not idiots.
OK, I was born in Indiana but I've lived in Michigan since age four in 1960. The only one of these I've ever heard of was Party Store and Hi-Lo (which I was not aware were "Michigan" terms). The rest of those words were ridiculous. No Yooper, Troll, Michigan Left, Pasty, The Soo? I don't know, maybe the other ones were Yooper terms that as a Troll I've never heard.
Ok born in MI and live there now. Party store is a yes. Fudgies, I think I might have heard it a time or two, maybe. Two Tracker where I live has nothing to do with a bonfire, It refers to a trail that is two wheels (think car or quad). Chuke I've never heard. Door wall I've never heard used ever. we call it a sliding glass door. Hi-low I've heard often enough, but it's interchangeable with lift or forklift.
Movoto Originals A Michigan basement is a former crawlspace that was later dug out to make the space more of a basement. Very common on older houses here. Many people have adopted the term to apply to any unfinished basement or even a dirt basement.
Movoto Originals As someone who used to move furniture in michigan and has been in a lot of houses, Michigan basements are very popular in older houses. At least thats what we call them.
Movoto Originals Trolls are people who live in the Lower Peninsula. The Mackinac Bridge connects the Upper Peninsula to the Lower. So people who live in the Lower are called trolls, because we live "under the bridge".
I am 54 yrs old born in Detroit & live in southeastern Michigan my whole life & only knew three of these. Party store,fudgies & Hi Lo these must all be from the Upper Peninsula. One that was not in there all Michiganders know is Yooper. Which is a person that lives in the Upper Peninsula. As far as door wall I have only heard it called a sliding door. Never heard of two tracker for bonfires or chuke for a stocking hat.
As a Michigander, can't say I've ever heard a stocking cap be called a chuke, though I have heard touque a lot, mostly from da canucks eh. We definitely say door wall. Never heard of a bonfire be called a two tracker either, we always just called them bonfires, but it's probably a northern thing. Hi-lo's though, that's a definite yes.
I grew up in Michigan. Party Store and Hi-Low I can attest to. The rest? Never heard of them. Guess I am now more West Coaster ... or these are obscure terms. What about Yooper? Or Coneys?
I think a good many of those words or terms depend where you live in Michigan. I've never heard of a chuker, heard anyone call it a door wall (thought from comments here, many others have. I live in an area with 47 billion two-tracks and we've never called a party out on one of them a two-tracker. It's just a party. Also, party store may be an up north thing (which does NOT mean upper peninsula- in Michigan, if we mean the UP, we say the UP- up north is anything above Mt. Pleasant) as I grew up with party store but when living in se Michigan, everyone called them convenience stores.
I'll be the ONE Michigan person to comment with I HAVE heard of all of these and use them all. Doorwall is the only thing my grandma knows sliding glass door by for some reason. Chuke is one I usually only hear when I go up to Seney though.
michigan born and raised but never heard of a two tracker, ever, nor a chuke, but I dont live in the u.p. and where I work the hi low is spelled hilo or hi-lo. Also, I hope these people were told the real meanings of the words.
Here in the UP it's called a chook, rhymes with book. Never hear fudgie, it's trolls. First I ever heard of doorwall. I heard hi-low once or twice, not in a long time. Party store for sure eh.
Michigander born and bred. Chuke is a misrepresentation of the French-Canadiens "touque", hi-lo is a brand of forklift, party store is where you buy booze (when the grocery store is closed), fudgies are tourists in the U.P. cause they go there and buy Mackinac Island fudge (generally only yoopers call people fudgies), and two tracking is driving on two track "roads" - like through the woods, on trails. In my life I've never heard anyone say door wall and most everyone has one. I've lived all over this state, including the U.P. ...... in all of these videos, the heavy "red head" is alwAys the funniest. :-)
I live in Michigan but the lower Peninsula. I think that these terms are specific to the UP in the context that they were presented to the West Coasters. In my part of the state, and we are in the northwest section, We call anyone from south of Mt Pleasant a Fudgie or a Flatlander. It is because they come up here to vacation and then they buy fudge. Doug Burdick's or Mackinaw Island Fudge to name a few. Two Trackers as defined in this video is a little different but it has to do with the usage. Here two tracking is something you do on the little roads that run out through the woods or along power lines. These are no more than the tracks of two tires breaking trails where there are no roads. So it makes sense that the parties out in the middle of nowhere would be called "two trackers." I have to say no one that I know in this part of the state refers to a slider as a "door wall" and I have never heard a hat called a chuke. But those people on the other side of the Bridge have funny terms. They call us Trolls. Can you guess why?
I worked in a factory back in the seventies that had a Hi-Low and I worked in a grocery store about 10 years ago that had one. It is what I call it. It is also called a fork lift.
Okay, fellow michiganders of that's actually what were called, let's all age that we have many words in many different areas, and the all journal to us. The other words are weird.
Someone fed you a line of bullshit LMAO. I'm glad you share it with us ha ha. Come visit us, we can have a bonfire with hot dogs and somemores. you all come back now you hear?? he he
Born and raised in Michigan, have lived most my life n the northwest corner of the lower peninsula and 12 years in the southeastern corner and have never heard it called a door wall, rolling door, or even sliding door. Everyone calls is a sliding glass window.
Never heard the term two tracking, chuke and who the hell calls it a door wall? Lol and I've never heard a hi low called a fork lift. It's a hi low, that is all. Lol
with the exception of party store and hi-low (only know that because of work) I dont know any of these. sure was entertaining listening to this though. should have added troll
lived in the Yoop all my life. i've never used any of these terms. fudgie is northern mi tourist. we don't go to "two tracks," we go to da camp and drink. we get our beer from the gas station or the grocery store. i don't even know what a chuke is. are you trying to say toque? the hat from canada? lower michigan people shouldn't try to do these kinds of videos.
Ive lived i michigan all my life and i was born here and so was my mom and dad...ive never heard any of these except party store...
WTF is a door wall?
In Grand Rapids we just call it a sliding door
Door wall? we call them sliding doors in Michigan. Who made up these words?
Michigan Matt Thanks for your comment, Matt! Some acquaintances of ours from the Detroit metro area supplied us with the list we used for this video.
What the hell is a door wall? In Lansing, we call them sliding glass doors.
***** I've lived in Michigan my entire life and have never heard anyone call a sliding door a "door wall." WTF
Michigan Matt hmm i call it a door wall :/
actually door wall is a thing apperenty cause my family michiganders (most of them) and we they were taught door wall

+therealCamoron I live in St. Ignace and everyone up here uses the term...
I pride myself on being a proud michigander and i only knew 3 of these
Ditto. I knew Party Store, Two Tracking and Fudgies. I want to know where people call a sliding glass door a Door Wall... And I'm grateful I wasn't raised calling them that.
Did you know Jeeze O Petes is a Michigan thing? I didn't even realize that was a local phrase until I moved away.
Jacinta Raphael I think most call it a door-wall in the detroit area, I am not too sure how far that goes out. I call it that at the very least.
What. The. Hell. Is. A. Door wall.
Seriously I live in Michigan and I only knew what a party store was.
In southern Michigan we pretty much only use party store. The other phrases I think I've only heard from yuppers.
Trey Marks i've heard of door walls (i'm from Livingston county) too. I mean everything else really made sense from just living here (like fudgies made a lot of sense even though i've never heard it before). I guess we just aren't Michigan enough
I live Michigan, only one i recognized was Party Store. Everything else is just bullshit.
You must be very anti-social and not work in anything to do with industry.
MessedUpGaming you probably wern't born here.
I know all of these except Hi-Low because i do nothing in construction, and Chuke because that is a yooper term. so ya, you're living under a rock son.
MessedUpGaming I grew up in northern lower, MI and I had heard of most of these...
MessedUpGaming party stor has more then liqur they has candy foood
a couple of yoopers in chukes entered the party store through the door wall to get ready for the two tracker when a bunch of disappointed fudgies came out and almost got hit by the hi-low loaded with kegs.
Party Store is a real Michigan word. Hi-Low is legit, Michigan Basement is the best, that's where HS rock bands begin.
I was born and raised in west Michigan and I have never heard of a fudgie or a door wall. However I hear party store, hi-low, and go two tracking on a daily basis.

who is from Michigan and was dying of laughter through this whole thing almost

No trolls or Michigan basement?
YouDummy We know that trolls are the same as flatlander, but we haven't heard "Michigan basement" before. Do tell!
Movoto Originals A Michigan basement is a former crawlspace that was later dug out to make the space more of a basement. Very common on older houses here. Many people have adopted the term to apply to any unfinished basement or even a dirt basement.
Movoto Originals It's also criminal you didn't use the word "Yooper".

lmao "I gave her the party store"
the hi-low explanation by the funny ginger girl was hilarious
I grew up in Michigan. Party Store and Hi-Low I can attest to. The rest? Never heard of them.
Guess I am now more West Coaster ... or these are obscure terms.
What about Yooper? Or Coneys?
I live in a small town called Oxford about 30 miles north-west of Detroit, I've heard of door wall and party store... But that's it.
I have lived in Michigan all of my life, and if you are from the country part of Michigan you will get the words "two trackers" and "hi-low"
Yeah everyone says party store, idek any of the other words and I live in Sterling Heights Michigan currently
I think a good many of those words or terms depend where you live in Michigan. I've never heard of a chuker, heard anyone call it a door wall (thought from comments here, many others have.

Pretty much the only common ones were Party store, door wall, and hi low
Toque - is a winter cap.
I've only heard the term party store used here. No one says any of the other phrases on the list.
Party store, TOUQUE, door-wall, hi-low. I've never heard of the others. I may not live in Michigan any more but my heart will always be there.
I'll be the ONE Michigan person to comment with I HAVE heard of all of these and use them all. Doorwall is the only thing my grandma knows sliding glass door by for some reason. Chuke is one I usually only hear when I go up to Seney though.
How do you not know what a door wall is? Also I didn't know most of these and I have lived in Michigan all my life
yeaaahhh... i dont think they have ever been to michigan. the only one we ever used was party store. idk what the heck the other ones were about... 😐
michigan born and raised but never heard of a two tracker, ever, nor a chuke, but I dont live in the u.p. and where I work the hi low is spelled hilo or hi-lo.
Also, I hope these people were told the real meanings of the words.
I only recognized party store and fudgies, but we call fudgies any tourist that comes to Michigan for our fudge, not just up to the UP
I'm from southeastern Michigan and the only ones I have heard are party store and door wall.
Yea here in Michigan we talk about it so much that we have slang for stalkers that stalk two people
Here in the UP it's called a chook, rhymes with book. Never hear fudgie, it's trolls. First I ever heard of doorwall. I heard hi-low once or twice, not in a long time. Party store for sure eh.

Yooper all my life. Party store, yep. The hat is a CHOOK (rhymes with book), not chuke (rhymes with puke). The rest? Never heard of them.
I also am from Michigan and the only one I've ever heard it "party store". No one says all of the other ones. Have never even heard it once.
Never heard of a 2 tracker or a chuke, but I'm an introverted troll here, soo....
And Party store is actually any convenience store that sells alcohol. Party beverages.
I'm from Michigan and I only know of Party Story, Door Wall and Hi-Low..
Are these mostly from middle Michigan or the UP? Because down in southeast Michigan, I've never heard any of these other than party store.
Did you tell them the true meanings
Michigan born/raised, never heard of a door wall or a hi-low. or a two tracker.
Okay, fellow michiganders of that's actually what were called, let's all age that we have many words in many different areas, and the all journal to us. The other words are weird.
Okay I've lived here my whole life and the only one I've ever heard was hi-low. Who uses these words and where.
Someone fed you a line of bullshit LMAO. I'm glad you share it with us ha ha. Come visit us, we can have a bonfire with hot dogs and somemores. you all come back now you hear?? he he
Maggie always makes me laugh! Lmao.
That's "chook"
This was dumb. I'm from Michigan and barely knew the words.
im from michigan...and much like everyone else i agree that most of these are not at all common.
In my life I've only ever heard the first two. This should be called Northern Michigan slang words.
Or doorwall isn't a michigan term either that's your mom's term or something. In Michigan it could be called a rolling door or sliding door.
Born and raised in Michigan, have lived most my life n the northwest corner of the lower peninsula and 12 years in the southeastern corner and have never heard it called a door wall, rolling door, or even sliding door. Everyone calls is a sliding glass window.
Never heard the term two tracking, chuke and who the hell calls it a door wall? Lol and I've never heard a hi low called a fork lift. It's a hi low, that is all. Lol
with the exception of party store and hi-low (only know that because of work) I dont know any of these. sure was entertaining listening to this though. should have added troll
5:00 ;)
Lived in Michigan all my life Party Store, Doorwall, Hi-low are the only things i recognize, lame.
If they pronounced chuke like its supposed to be they might have had better guesses. They could've found better words too.
lived in the Yoop all my life. i've never used any of these terms. fudgie is northern mi tourist. we don't go to "two tracks," we go to da camp and drink. we get our beer from the gas station or the grocery store. i don't even know what a chuke is. are you trying to say toque? the hat from canada?
lower michigan people shouldn't try to do these kinds of videos.
only ones i never heard of were fudgies and chuke but then again im not from the UP lol
We call all tourists fudgies anywhere north of Wexford County.
Never heard of chuke though.
Fudgies, also known as trolls, are people who live in the Lower Peninsula, who visit the Upper Peninsula.
Most of these are U.P slang.......
i live in michigan and this is all a lie
Where is Adam & Manny????? This video is seriously lacking.
