I have only known older hoosiers call bell peppers mangoes, and never heard davenport used. Usually called a sofa or a couch. a lot of the southern states use the word pop for soda. Never heard the fridge called an ice box though.
I think in this age, we're so connected that these amusing things have been mostly lost to past generations. My Grandma had a davenport, and until I was a teen, I thought mangoes were yellow and red bell peppers. Grew up in Lafayette, and maybe we had more Chicago influence, but we drank soda. The icebox thing is a stretch. Of course this all sounds crazy to us, because we have assimilated to a national speech baseline to communicate. Pre-internet, dialects were likely more extreme.
I'm from Indiana and I would never call peppers mangoes.. Also, never used the word "davenport" and the only people I have known to use the word "icebox" are people in their 80's...lol. You left one out: a lot of Hoosiers say "warsh" instead of wash.
It was just humorous until she got to the groshries and pry. Couldn't stop laughing. I live in Canada now and can still crack people up with the way I say "roof" and "root". They are also somewhat puzzled by my obsession with how recently any corn was picked. I can only hear the accent now after moving away. =)
Faboo video! I grew up hearing bell peppers called "mangoes" half the time. Imagine my amazement when I moved to Mexico and encountered the actual FRUIT mangoes (which I dealry love)! I still love browsing old cookbooks (the kind put out by church groups and what not), where you still find old terms like this occasionally.
its definitely called pop, soda is for the west coast. and soda pop is for the undecided
ive heard people call them mangos, i thought it was stupid, but... , muskmelon, its definitely cantelope... :D, and its a sweeper or vacuum--depending on the day... haha
Ive lived in Indianapolis for a year...And i started picking up on some of that. My whole life other than that one year that i lived in idianapolis,I lived in Brownsburg/Avon area. I don't say "pop" i say the name brand, like "Pepsi,Mtn Dew,Root beer,ect" I say "Fridge" Ive NEVER heard icebox,Thats just akward O.o LMBO @ corn...Like nobody eats that here. Everyone thinks we do...but i'm laughing hysterically. I say Canalope for "Melon" or whatever that is -.-' And WTH? Nobody calls peppers that
Haha I hear 'pop' all the time, but in southern IN we mostly call them 'soft drinks'. I've always said 'vacuum' but my best friend's family calls it a 'sweeper'. Ice box isn't very common; it's always the fridge. 'Sack' is normal but I say 'bag.' Musk melon and mangoes are ones I've never heard anyone say, though. or davenport.
I know it's been said and will be repeated ad nauseum, but you all really need to calm down. It's not that big of a deal. Really. It's called humor.
I was born in Indianapolis and have lived here most of my life, and I'll admit, I don't say most of these things (I do call vacuums sweepers). But that's my personal experience, and I know how to take a joke. Apparently my grandmother did call bell peppers mangoes, and I know my father called refrigerators ice boxes.
No one here says davenport or eat corn all the time (and I think I've only heard 'ice box' used a couple of times). I've never heard a pepper referred to as a mango either but maybe that is a southern IN thing? Everything else is pretty accurate... exaggerated, but pretty accurate...
Seriously folks, if you don't think this is funny and fairly accurate then lighten up! I know many Hoosiers who find it very funny and tongue-in-cheek. Hey, the folks who made this are Hoosiers! It's okay to laugh at yourself a little you know. And by the way, Angola and Auburn are in the very NE corner of the state. Never ceases to amaze me that by traveling straight E from Chicago 200 miles people speak with such a strong accent. BTW, NW Indiana is still Chicago, no Hoosier there.

@shellypickren I'm from Auburn and I guess I didnt realise we had shuch strong accents lol thanks for pointing it out i will have to pay more attention now :)
Key words to look for: POP (soda), sacks (bags), muskmelon (never heard of that one before) is a cantaloupe, and ice box (freezer). Oh and "the dog wants LET IN". Just say "Wants in". What is it with the corn? No hun, that is a VACUM. That is NOT sweeping. That is vacuming! Davenport? Huh? Just call it a freaking COUCH! Learn to speak ENGLISH please.
And it's a BAG. Everything is a bag. Even paper bags are bags. When you're sacked, it's football. I think. I'm a basketball fan. Why? Cuz I'm actually from Indiana.
Pop, yes. Where's something at? Yes. Mango? Sweeper? Musk melon? What the crap are you talking about? Davenport? Ice box? What the hell is an ice box? Peppers, vacuums, cantaloupe, couch, FRIDGE. Are you even from Indiana? Are you Amish? WTF I'm from Fort Wayne, IN and I have no clue what you're talking about. Is this a rural thing?
bag not sack, pop is what old people here call it but everyone else calls it soda, fridge not ice box wtf?, cantilope not musk melon, pepper not mango a mango is an effin fruit, vaccum not sweeper, couch not daven port, catch up with this shizz!!
@shellypickren, I don't see them as funny. I see them as sterotyping. I lived in Northwestern Indiana for 4 years and I never talked like that before - but may be that is because I moved from Southern Cali . I don't know
@amkenkent I have heard southerners use buggy for shopping cart - usually that's in TN or farther south. Supper and Dinner are interchangeable but dinner and lunch are not. I have said cheese toasty for grilled cheese, but I think that's because my grandpa baby talked certain words for me. I have heard people from smaller towns say crick, but in the cities we say creek.
i have never heard any of those. and personally i hate when people say sweeper. it is a vacuum, and it vacuums not sweeps. born and raised in northern indiana, southern indiana must be different if this is at all accurate...
@shellypickren then maybe it's an age thing, doll! maybe i should clarify, i said born and raised, but i'm still only 20. go sit it in one of warsaw's coffeehouses and see for yourself! pop and sweeper are about the only things accurate
All I know is that I have lived in chicago now for many years and when I go back to Indiana to visit all my family, this video is EXACTLY how everyone sounds, young and old. AND, people in Chicago do not talk like that, so it makes the videos "that much more funnier!" ;) Maybe it's more noticeable because I moved away.
@shellypickren, what part of Indiana do you go to to visit your family? I'd like to know where in IN the people talk like this. This is weird. Davenport? I never even heard of that word. It is a freaking couch. (I used to live in Crown Point IN for four years and went up to Chicago each weekend and I never heard anyone talk like this before).
I do call a vacuum cleaner a "sweeper", I say "sack" (despite some perverts probably laughing at said synonym for "bag"), though I say "bag" interchangeably. Strangely enough, I already knew that a "davenport" was a couch/sofa.
Yes, you do have an accent. Believe me, I was born and raised there, and wondered why everyone else in the world had an accent except us. Ha-ha. Since I've been away for 28 years, I can pick an Indiana accent out a mile away. Not because of the idiosyncracies, but because of the subtle nasal tone. A dead give-away is that Hoosier's hold their "a" sounds just a beat longer than everyone else. I still do it - especially when I say "Chicago."
Ok... I'm in Evansville and I say bag, cantelope, couch, vacuum, I eat actual mangoes, don't eat corn, I say fridge. Basically, I say everything they didn't say in this video...
WHAT in the world??? I am from Indiana (lived in Ft. Wayne and a suburb of Indy and I have friends from Evansville) and the only one of these I say is "pop". I say bag, not sack, fridge, not ice box, vacuum, not sweeper, cantaloupe, not musk melon, and that is a PEPPER! This video made me laugh, though lol -Katie
wow........ i live in indiana and people that are watching this and are not from indiana just talk normal, believe me, people from indiana should get what you are saying some of this is not really true and people say those words more in the south of indiana then the north
I'm from Indiana and some of that I've noticed except sweeper and davenport, I live in the farthest town to the south we say pop, sack, and we put at at the end of alot of our sentences "where's it at."
I'm from Indiana as well....Some of these are good though haha! Real quick, sak, pop, sweeper, groshries, and the whole apostrophe s thing is sooo true lol. I don't understand the whole probably being pronounced, "prawy". Whatever, it's partially true.
uhm.....wow. they're obviously talking about the backwoods of Indiana. i grew up (and still reside) in Indiana. i don't use "davenport" or "ice box". and i HATE corn.
Yep! Pop, icebox, muskmelon, sweeper, "groshries". Warsh too. Like I'm back home! What about bubblers? Occasionally heard "davenport" but had no idea what it meant.

This is actually a little scary. The scene where they are talking, the only word I'm not used to is Muskmelon. "Pop" and "Groceries" are words I use EVERY DAY.
its funny cause ive never heard anyone in indianapolis say icebox reffering to the frige. and only old people say the dog needs let in. If you go to indiana and say some of this stuff people will look at you crazy. we dont say musk melon, mangos or the sweeper. we say the regular name. And i dont even know what a davenport is. This is all bull.
What the hell! This is crap! Total crap! Nobody says that. They correct way to say it Hoosier would be "Put the coke in the fridge." What is with this Davenport crap? Musk mellon?
I think this is actually hilarious. I'm from Lafayette Indiana and i watched this video and at the end when it goes over key words or whatever, i had no idea what we say weird. aparently sweeper and musk melon arent common vocab lol woopsies
I from Evansville, Indiana and we speak differently from the rest of y'all. You come in saying pop for a coke and we'll think you just crazy. I think you should have a show dedicated to just us!
We don't speak totally like they do in this in Northern Indiana either. This episode was ok, they justed used a lot of old fashioned terms that I know but don't hear that often but in some of the other episodes it just sounds like they are purposefully butchering words.
But we do call it pop up here and not coke or soda.
doesnt everyone calll it pop, davenport no one calls it that, ice box its not the 20's and we never call those mangos, never call it the swepper, and we;re NOT ADDICTED TO CORN
i didn't know we had an accent? lol i say pop, but doesn't everyone???? and plus, we don't eat that much corn, and i have never heard anyone call a green pepper or red pepper a mango?? i call it a couch not a davenport. i call it a vacuum not a sweeper. a WTF is an icebox??? lol i'm pretty sure it is a Freezer? BTW- i live in Indianapolis. i guess what they say is true, Indianapolis is different from the rest of the state.
actually those were all right too. i grew up hearing icebox and bell peppers called mangoes. my family never called a couch a davenport but i know several people who do.
LOL!!! Dead on!! I was born and bred in Indiana. I lived there 28 years and we just recently moved to New York state a few months ago. I've been missing "Hoosier-speak". I've enjoyed this so much. Even if it is tongue-in-cheek. I worked at Subway in high school and I used to get an elderly lady who got so annoyed when she asked for "mango" on her sub and got a blank look. Oh, and I miss shopping at "Meijers" ;). My poor kids are already slipping, though. My son asked for "soda" today :( ,lol.

Since I've been away for 28 years, I can pick an Indiana accent out a mile away. Not because of the idiosyncracies, but because of the subtle nasal tone. A dead give-away is that Hoosier's hold their "a" sounds just a beat longer than everyone else. I still do it - especially when I say "Chicago."

WHAT in the world??? I am from Indiana (lived in Ft. Wayne and a suburb of Indy and I have friends from Evansville) and the only one of these I say is "pop". I say bag, not sack, fridge, not ice box, vacuum, not sweeper, cantaloupe, not musk melon, and that is a PEPPER! This video made me laugh, though lol -Katie

just talk normal if your going to Indiana, if you talk like they tell you to, people will think your a little weird

wow........ i live in indiana and people that are watching this and are not from indiana just talk normal, believe me, people from indiana should get what you are saying some of this is not really true and people say those words more in the south of indiana then the north

@TralfamadorianShoes Yeah, people in Nebraska and Indiana eat corn. Wheat is for people in Kansas.

I'm from Indiana and some of that I've noticed except sweeper and davenport, I live in the farthest town to the south we say pop, sack, and we put at at the end of alot of our sentences "where's it at."
missCentral2009 1 year ago
I'm from Indiana as well....Some of these are good though haha! Real quick, sak, pop, sweeper, groshries, and the whole apostrophe s thing is sooo true lol. I don't understand the whole probably being pronounced, "prawy". Whatever, it's partially true.

Yep! Pop, icebox, muskmelon, sweeper, "groshries". Warsh too. Like I'm back home! What about bubblers? Occasionally heard "davenport" but had no idea what it meant.

This is actually a little scary. The scene where they are talking, the only word I'm not used to is Muskmelon. "Pop" and "Groceries" are words I use EVERY DAY.
Since when is "groceries" weird? haha
HorrorReviews123 1 year ago
its funny cause ive never heard anyone in indianapolis say icebox reffering to the frige. and only old people say the dog needs let in. If you go to indiana and say some of this stuff people will look at you crazy. we dont say musk melon, mangos or the sweeper. we say the regular name. And i dont even know what a davenport is. This is all bull.

Pop, yes. Icebox, yes. Sweeper, yes. Muskmellon, yes. Pry, definitely. No on davenport, though.

What the hell! This is crap! Total crap! Nobody says that. They correct way to say it Hoosier would be "Put the coke in the fridge." What is with this Davenport crap? Musk mellon?
christorey68 2 years ago
Yes on pop. No on musk melon (wtf?) and icebox. I hear sweeper sometimes. No on davenport. Also, SHUT UP ABOUT CORN! Thanks.

I think this is actually hilarious. I'm from Lafayette Indiana and i watched this video and at the end when it goes over key words or whatever, i had no idea what we say weird. aparently sweeper and musk melon arent common vocab lol woopsies

I am sooooo sick of them using the corn thing. IT IS NOT OUR FAVORITE FOOD!!! And who says "ice box" any more?

I from Evansville, Indiana and we speak differently from the rest of y'all. You come in saying pop for a coke and we'll think you just crazy. I think you should have a show dedicated to just us!
Seplada 2 years ago
We don't speak totally like they do in this in Northern Indiana either. This episode was ok, they justed used a lot of old fashioned terms that I know but don't hear that often but in some of the other episodes it just sounds like they are purposefully butchering words.
But we do call it pop up here and not coke or soda.

BTW- i live in Indianapolis. i guess what they say is true, Indianapolis is different from the rest of the state.

LOL!!! Dead on!! I was born and bred in Indiana. I lived there 28 years and we just recently moved to New York state a few months ago. I've been missing "Hoosier-speak". I've enjoyed this so much. Even if it is tongue-in-cheek. I worked at Subway in high school and I used to get an elderly lady who got so annoyed when she asked for "mango" on her sub and got a blank look. Oh, and I miss shopping at "Meijers" ;). My poor kids are already slipping, though. My son asked for "soda" today :( ,lol.
