What is a Mud Duck?

I suck at blogging. Seriously I can't keep going for more than a few days, once I even made it for a few months. But I fizzle out and quit. Eventually I stop all together.

I'm a little bored this morning and was clicking through old links. I came across a blog of someone I tagged in January and read her response. She asked what the hell is a mud duck.

"Mud Duck" is a derogatory term used by people in Wisconsin, Iowa and North Dakota to describe residents of Minnesota. The term appears to be a play on the Minnesota nickname of "Land of Ten Thousand Lakes" and the notion of a species of duck that tends to feed on the muck of the bottom of a lake as well as the unclean and raucous habits of ducks generally.

So to Cheeseheads, and Idiots Out Wandering Around, I'm a mud duck. (And I'd rather be a mud duck than claim to be from WI, or IA.) ;)

Just a bit of useless trivia for you.
