--- Quote from: Jeff Wrangler on February 14, 2017, 01:12:53 pm ---I think that's the spelling used on the Web site oldlutheran.org. The site has entire separate sections on uff-da, lutefisk, and lefse. It also has a humor section featuring "Ole and Lena" jokes. (Personally I prefer the section on "You might be a Lutheran if," as in, "You might be a Lutheran if the only pew open is the front one, so you volunteer to shovel the sidewalk," or, "You might be a Lutheran if you forget to put water in the baptismal font, but not in the coffeemaker.")
I figure whoever runs the site must be from Minnesota and so feels free to make fun of Minnesota Swedes--because he probably is one.

Yeah, all of that sounds totally Minnesotan. It's an increasingly dated stereotype of Minnesota, which for example now has the highest population of Somalis outside Somalia. But it's the traditional one.
