Are you considering a move to Utah in the near future? In this video we are talking about some words and phrases you’re going to want to be familiar with before you do… As Utahns we have some local slang you’ll probably hear regularly after spending some time here. Here’s a quick rundown of some of the most popular Utah terms and phrases you probably ought to know: Targhee Child 📲 801-668-3609 Call or text [email protected] Julie Child 📲 801-549-8932 Call or Text [email protected] #MovingToUtah #BuyingAHomeInUtah #LivingInUtah 00:00 Intro 00:22 Fry Sauce 00:52 LDS 01:24 Holy War 01:50 Dixie 02:20 Powder 02:36 Pioneer Day Fry Sauce There is some debate on the “correct” way to make fry sauce, but Utahns are passionate about this dipping sauce. At the most basic level, fry sauce is a combination of mayonnaise and ketchup. After that, different Utah restaurants and home chefs add their own little twist to the recipe. Some add things like onion powder, pickle juice, sriracha, mustard, etc. Make it yourself or order it with fries at most local burger joints. LDS There are a few religious phrases you should be aware of. The first one is “LDS”. LDS is an acronym for “Latter-Day Saint”, a nickname for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which make up a large portion of the Utah population. A “ward” is a congregation of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that’s defined by a geographic area. A “stake” is a group of wards and a “bishop” is the voluntary ecclesiastical leader of a ward that typically serves for five years. Holy War This next one sounds religious, but it’s not. You will most likely hear the phrase “holy war” if you live in Utah. The Holy War is the nickname for the college football rivalry game between the University of Utah in Salt Lake and Brigham Young University in Provo. Before they each joined their current divisions, they would play each other every year. Even though they don’t play each other as frequently, it’s still the biggest college rivalry in the state, so hurry and pick your side! Dixie ”Dixie” in Utah refers to the south west region around St. George where early settlers established cotton-growing farms many generations ago. Many of these cotton farmers came from the south and nicknamed it “Dixie”, in reference to the southern United States. While Utah’s “Dixie” region doesn’t have the same slave history as the original Dixie in the southern United States, some have shied away from continuing this local nickname due to the connotations the name has for people outside of Utah. Powder ”Powder” is the fine, fresh snow we get along the Wasatch Front that’s perfect for skiing and snowboarding. As the state that claims to have the best snow on earth, we get excited about riding the lift and hitting the powder each winter. Pioneer Day Utahns celebrate two major holidays in the month of July. We obviously observe the 4th of July as Independence Day, but we also observe the 24th of July or Pioneer Day. We call it Pioneer Day because the pioneers arrived in Utah on July 24th 1847. Pioneer Day is an official state holiday in Utah and many businesses close, and some communities hold local parades or other events to celebrate. One of the most patriotic and fun things to do in Utah is attend a Pioneer Day rodeo. I recommend the Days of 47’ rodeo in Ogden.
