Duck, duck, gray duck
Significado: Minnesota's unique version of the children's game known everywhere else as 'duck, duck, goose.'
In Minnesota — and only Minnesota — the classic children's game is called 'duck, duck, gray duck.' Minnesotans are fiercely proud of this variant and will passionately argue that it's the superior version because it adds a strategic element.
