Living here all my life, here are a few things that occur here everyday and don't seem to bother anyone. So when you get here feel free to join in. Things like:
 
Farting at the dinner table Grin
 
Driving like an ass-hole Grin
 
Calling the bartender a "Cheap Bastard" if he doesn't buy a round. Grin
 
Using the same fork for all three courses of dinner Grin
 
Women dancing with other women (Taboo in Texas) Grin
 
Spontaneously giving the finger Grin
 
Belching the alphabet Grin
 
 
Here are some things that you do NOT do!:
 
Do not rip on the Packers or Brett Favre.
 
Do not tell your favorite Harley (biker) joke
 
Do not say if your an anti hunter.
 
Do not ask "Whats a Bratwurst"
 
I'LL think of some more Grin
 
Seeya,

I live and work in the greater Chicago area...why do I feel slighted?  Huh Roll Eyes
 
 Other things to get used to about Cheddarheads and Wisconsin.
 Get used to them slowing down traffic... feel free to use a few of their colourful expletives, when passing them on the interstate... they don't respond well to much else, the gridlock and lack of motivation to get anywhere in a hurry proves my point.
  Bubbler - Only in Wisconsin, Canada and parts of England is this a noun. Sout of the state line hey dis is an adjective typically experienced after drinking piss warm beer, eating cheese and being limited to any sport not football. Come to Chi-town, get a polish sasage and come watch how the game of football is supposed to be played... Grin... Grin Grin
  Us "FIBs" call 'em the Green Gay Peckers... there is a reason for this... it will be self evident when you arrive.  
  Although the negative tone of this reply... NOT all things about Wisconsin are bad (i.e. Only in Wisconsin can you get in more trouble for a bar fight than drunk driving) this is a HUGE plus for our northern neighbors...refer to the first paragraph about driving and traffic.
  The oldest Harley Dealership in the World...ya, thats in Illinois not a very nice persons  Grin
  DO learn the lingo as Mel has written it, you'll need to know it to understand a damn thing. Lips Sealed
  Learn to like the taste of Game...yes, its a stronger flavor than store bought meat, but it has to be in order to taste anything other than beer.
  Get used to the idea that EVERYTHING in Wisconsin is beer and Cheese oriented. Its a thing with them...there aint nothin else to do but hunt old ladies walkin their dogs in the back 40. Being sure of your target in cheeseland is a lost art...better go get some blaze orange cause if its white and wagging back and forth its considered tagged.
  If there is a renaissance fair going on while you visit... DONT ( I repeat) DONT piss off the guy in chain mail with the two handed bastard sword. He really is a blacksmith and the mail and sword are not replicas.

  Note: the common and frequent use of the word Parish, not to be confused with Perish...either way you'll get to that eventually, just a tad faster in Wisconsin Just make sure you confess first. Any male wearing black with a small white collar will do...shouldn't be trouble finding these men...as they outnumber almost any other group 10-1. Can you say Segregated? Dont worry its mostly geographic....NOT!
  South (Sout if Native) Generally this is the place where the baseball World Title resides...but we just continue to let em get sloshed and pretend that baseball is played anywhere North of Madison Ave.... OH, DID I ERR?! Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin                   Grin
