1. Never heard of a 2 tracker or a chuke, but I'm an introverted troll here, soo….

2. 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.

3. I'm from Pontiac so, are these mostly rural terms? I only recognized Party Store and Hi Low.

4. 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.

5. Door wall?  we call them sliding doors in Michigan.  Who made up these words?

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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.

9. Fudgies, also known as trolls, are people who live in the Lower Peninsula, who visit the Upper Peninsula.

10. 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

11. 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

12. FUDGIES ARE NOT PEOPLE VISTING THE YOOPERLAND THE ARE THE TOURISTS OF TRAVESER CITY

13. In my life I've only ever heard the first two. This should be called Northern Michigan slang words.

14. Most of these are U.P slang…….

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 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… 😐

18. Party Store is basically a gas station or drug store

19. What. The. Hell. Is. A. Door wall.

    Seriously I live in Michigan and I only knew what a party store was.

20. Did you tell them the true meanings

21. i live in michigan and this is all a lie

22. I'm from southeastern Michigan and the only ones I have heard are party store and door wall.

23. That's "chook"

24. the hi-low explanation by the funny ginger girl was hilarious

25. 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.

26. 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"

27. 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.

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

29. West coasters think in Michigan thar be dragons. Lol

30. lmao "I gave her the party store"

31. 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…

32. 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

33. 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".

34. Pretty much the only common ones were Party store, door wall, and hi low

35. 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?

36. 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.

37. Yea here in Michigan we talk about it so much that we have slang for stalkers that stalk two people

38. WTF is a door wall?
    In Grand Rapids we just call it a sliding door

39. 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.

40. 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.

41. Toque – is a winter cap.

42. Party Store is a real Michigan word. Hi-Low is legit, Michigan Basement is the best, that's where HS rock bands begin.
