Every state, every city, and every town has something unique about it, including the slang or lingo that they use. I grew up in Minneapolis so I'm used to slang terms like "oh, fer cute!" which would mean adorable. You might be familiar with the term "you betcha" which means agreement. Have you ever heard someone say "ope, just gonna sneak right past ya." You'll hear that used in just about every busy grocery store where I grew up.

I found a few Iowa slang terms from Let's Learn Slang and I want to put you to the test. How many of these terms have you used, heard, and/or understand the meaning of? Are there any missing you think should be added?
