There is that one word you can say and people around the U.S. can identify exactly what state you're from. For example, the word "hella" is mainly used in Northern California, and that is usually a dead giveaway that people are from the west coast state.
If you've ever wondered what word is associated with your state, Stacker released a list of each state's most used slang word.
Here is what Stacker had to say about finding each state's slang word:
"Americans also have massive amounts of state pride. They celebrate the things that set their states apart from others, and feverishly uphold local traditions and customs. Combined, these two things have resulted in some unique slang. Stacker has rounded up examples of local slang from every state. Taking data from various sources, we've highlighted some of the weird, wacky, and outright crazy slang words Americans use in everyday conversations."
So, what is Michigan's most used slang word?
Ope!
Here is what the report had to say about 'ope':
"More a noise than a full-blown definable word, "ope" is used in Michigan as a reaction to anything slightly inconvenient or bothersome. Someone bumps into you? Ope can be used as both an exclamation and an apology. Dropped something? Ope is a perfectly acceptable expression of annoyance."
