Yep...that qualifies...

Yeah, it was exaggerated a fair amount, although if you go to some of the small Norwegian farming towns not far from Fargo you can hear accents similar to the movie from the old folks...

yup, my in-laws are Norwegian, their parents all came over on the boat....we've got a "strom" in our last name.. ya sure, ya betcha!
Oh Karl! (sorry, when I type it out it just doesn't come across how my MIL says it..)

Heh, my first paying job ever (Hardees, 1978) I had an anal-retentive boss who chastised me for replying "Ya" instead of "Yes", said it was sloppy and such...I thought about arguing with him that my Dad, and his Dad before him (who came over on the boat from Sweden) had always talked like that and I wasn't likely to change my ways easily...but I decided it wasn't worth it, at least not for a crappy fast food job that was making me look forward eagerly to college.
