Explaining "Utah" Things
utah really does have it's own language
In this week's video, I explain and give definitions to "Utah" things, words and phrases. When I moved to Utah, I was SO confused by these terms so often used in Utah. Many of the phrases here were made popular by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but some are just local words and terms. After living in Utah for over ten years, I decided to make this video and explain the stuff Utahans say. Utah culture is definitely unique, but that's what makes it great!
Some of the topics I cover in this video include: soda shops, Utah/LDS "swears," sluffing, odd city names, fry sauce, NCMOs, summer sales, the holy war and more!
What's your favorite "Utah thing"? Let me know in the comments below!

Funny piece of history is U of U was actaully founded by Brigham Young and BYU was just named after him.
She was saying TooWellA It’s pronounced TooWillA

Hahah yes, that’s a good one!
Yes! Utah has its own way of speaking, hahah! I’ve actually picked up on some of it from visiting so much and watching Utah youtubers, hahaha! But It’s not a bad thing! Actually with the swear words, I say “oh my heck” ALL the time now hahahah!! I just love everything about Utah though, so much that I want to move there, all the way from Canada! Also, I LOVE watching missionary homecoming videos! They’re so sweet! That’s one of many things I look forward to when I fly into SLC is seeing all the families waiting 😭😍

How long have soda shops and "dirty" sodas been around? Sorry, but I left the church about 20 years ago, and I remember when caffinated soda wasn't allowed. Or was that just an outside-of-Utah thing? Wait! I remember a scene in "The Singles' Ward" where they spiked the punch with Mountain Dew. Oh, I am so confused!
The Honey Comb on the Utah Flag or the 1960's BYU silver class ring symbolizes a strong unity and organization. Bees which live in honeycombs are very well organized which is what the pioneers strived for when they founded this state.
Pioneer Day! It's an amazing day. Also my B-day
I would like to visit Utah at some point.
I'm also from Michigan and went to engineering camp in high school. One of my friends at camp had come from Utah and she was absolutely baffled that nobody knew what fry sauce was! (It's basically Thousand Island dressing to the rest of us haha.) I'm not sure if "biffed it" is just a Utah thing - I grew up saying it, but full disclosure, I was a klutz...

My family drives to Lake Powell at least twice a year from SLC. I’ve never stopped at Dairy Keen. Maybe I should.
O crap is pretty common too, along with what the crap and that’s crappy I know
In my family, we usually call funeral potatoes favorite potatoes bc we have it for a lot of occasions

You know the rivalry is too much when fourth graders are shouting UTAH BYU UTAH!!! BYU!!!!!!
Soda shop!!!!?!??! I'm moving to provo not this year but, next and I have a total soda addiction!! It's a dream come true!
Coming from Virginia, the first time I heard someone pray for “moisture” I was real confused bc 1) I don’t think I’ve ever prayed for rain in my life and 2) why not just say rain? Lol
Love your videos so much, your amazing and you are one of the reasons I have joined the church

Girl as soon as you talked about football I was like it can't be worse than the mitten, and then you said you came from Michigan and I was like oof maybe there is a big rivalry.
Lol I have ppls in Hurricane! first time I heard it pronounced I was like girl stop playin😹
Heh.. I just use frickerdoodle. I try not to do it too often, but still, it's way better than the actual words. Is that weird? lol I thought the Heber Creeper was supposed to be Snipes at Girl's Camp! I got to go to the UP Finals spelling bee. Super fun, but super stressful! Tell me if you guys made it to the spelling bees!
"Oh my Heck" is my favorite Utah slang.
Mountain Dew is also pretty big And Root Beer!
You should make a video pointing differences between University of Utah and Brigham Young University 😆
I've always used "what the heckamuffin" but ya that's just me I think haha
Green Jello is totally a thing! We had it at probably 75% of church functions 😂 I use the phrase "oh my word" 🤣 also.... its Tu-wIll-A... not Tu-wEll-A....
Fry Sauce is a East Coast thing as well.
I want to move to utah so badly
You definitely need to make the Diet Coke can in the background a thing! Btw...why is Diet Coke preferred to regular Coke in Utah? I absolutely detest any soda that's diet because of the artificial sweeteners...it just leaves a terrible aftertaste...not good!

Haha I think it’s because people think Diet Coke is “healthier.” 😂 and personally I prefer the taste of diet more anyway!

Green Jello only makes sense if you grew up in the 80s or earlier. Its so nasty that it died with any Xennial that was tortured with it. "Biff it" only makes sense if you live in snowy places. AZ doesn't have ice. In college we had a biff-it chart on our door. We had to come home and rate our biffs (falls on the ice). We used emojis before they even existed on type. But not a bad video!
Replace, "Utah" with "Mormon" in title to be more accurate.
Sluffing sounds like it could have come from the word to "slough" off, which has a similar meaning :)
