My dog has nothing to do with South Dakota's official word.  But he does love to eat it.  Chislic, that is.

Slate.com tried to answer the question: If every state had an official word, what would it be?

Here are some of the answers they came up with and they used the word in a sentence for us:

South Dakota: chislic (noun): cubed meat
-The only available appetizer was the chislic that made me sick.

Minnesota:  uff da (expression): a brief statement of surprise or disgust
-Uff da, was Jesse Ventura really the governor at one point?

Iowa: kybo (noun): port-a-potty
-Whoa, I gotta go! Where’s the kybo?

Nebraska: runza (noun): a pastry consisting mainly of ground beef and cabbage
-Runzas seem like they would be completely gross, but they are surprisingly delectable.

I don't know if i'd pick these words as official state words or not.  What do you think!
