Related: About this forumHillary just 'Yee Hawed' me after giving me an unsolicited Welcome to her Campaign.
Yee Haw? Really? Just because I live in Texas?
This being on the heels of the Abuela Hispandering, ( Yes, that box applies to me also) I decided I had all the unsolicited Hillary input I could stand. Never wanted any in the first place.
Instead of giving her the dollar that she asked for so as to lower her Wall Street donation level and increase her individual donor base, I sent a " Message to Hillary"
I asked her if she had stolen my email address from Bernie, told her to unsubscribe me because I was not part of her Wall Street driven campaign and said Yee Haw? Really?
What does your unsubscribe letter sound like?

(2,550 posts)Last week I heard that term, Uff da, for the first time in my 75 years, from a lady that grew up in Wisconsin.
I asked what it meant. It seems to have several iterations.
Bulls**t, FU, 'whatever', a general greeting, or,
"how's it going?" "Oh ya know...uff da." (same old, same old)
I ask if there are more meanings to "Uffda"?
She also introduced me to 'harpulls' wherein a trusted partner grabs fistfulls of hair
and 'GENTLY' tugs and pulls to invigorate the scalp, get the blood flowing
(and turns one from a republican into ANYTHING else.) lol
edit to suggest that Bernie looks to have a resident 'harpuller' in his staff.

(2,375 posts).......but haven't other Scandinavians picked up on it's use? I have a Finnish friend who uses 'Uff da' regularly. Never fails to make me laugh.
Scuba
(53,475 posts)... so Uff Da is an expression I've heard all my life.

(28,079 posts)at least in Minnesota. Perhaps especially common among those with Scandinavian heritage, secondly with any European heritage but I work with a woman who was born in Nigeria (came here as a child) who sometimes uses it...She says it makes her sound like the Minnesotan she is - and she likes the looks on people's faces the first time they hear her say it.

(2,375 posts)For this very reason.
dflprincess
(28,079 posts)his opponent had his mother make an ad for him (what is it with Republicans and their relatives in cutesy ads?). She ended her spiel by saying "Mark Dayton - Uff da!" (Trying to appeal to the Scandinavians, I'm sure.)
I ran into Mark at a DFL event and told him my mother and her sisters had decided to make an ad for him and go for the Irish vote by ending the ad "Rod Grams, JESUS, Mary and Joseph!"

I kid you not.
Bill is in a cowboy hat with Hillary dressed as the Coalminer's Daughter from her DP themed Birthday Party in 1995.
It's down in the fine print if you have the email or check her Instagram for the visual.

(148 posts)I live in WA state. I also unsubscribed. I'm sending a donation to Bernie this weekend.

(5,068 posts)Strangely, it used the email address that I'd given to the Bernie campaign.
Lifelong Protester
(8,421 posts)and was so angry I deleted it before I could unsubscribe. Funny, it came to the same email address I used for Bernie Sanders. Hmm......

(10,170 posts)To unsubscribe.

(50,983 posts)This is significant!
I have unsubscribed from everything Hillary. I even unsubscribed from Sherrod Brown after he endorsed Hillary. I figure any candidate that would endorse Hillary has clearly demonstrated questionable judgment.

(13,985 posts)I've received unsolicited emails from her campaign as well, but that a few months back.
I don't remember what the unsubscribed messaged said. I still wonder how she got hold of my email
LiberalElite
(14,691 posts)only snail mail from H. I'm over 60. Maybe they bought a list from AARP and think I'm too old to have email?
Mbrow
(1,090 posts)I think It's because I donate to Bernie thou act blue, I'll have to ask My wife ( I'm at work for the next four months) if she has been getting any. She's doing the outreach stuff while i'm gone. Also I wonder if they (DNC) finally took me off their list. I've been sending back there appeals for money with a big F$%# Off! written in crayon on it. I pick and chose progressive Dems and donate on act blue...
