Utah Directional Confusion

SurfCoug

I can't say that I've ever heard that before, not even once.

El Jefe

Me neither.

2/8/16 5:24pm

"Up" means north.

Exactly, it has nothing to do with elevation.

Ashtrash

2/8/16 5:49pm

The heck it doesn't.

2/8/16 5:50pm

Sure, if you're going up in the mountains it does, but otherwise...not so much.

Ashtrash

It doesn't refer to elevation at all.

Ashtrash

Rarely happens in Utah, but elevation trumps

2/8/16 5:53pm

It definitely refers to elevation.

It only applies if you're talking about mountains/valleys

Ashtrash

I'm pretty sure that's what was meant by "elevation".

Grew up here. South is only up if it is obviously going up to the mountains.

He's aware of the height of Californians' Rameumptoms?

I've lived in Utah the past 45 years and never heard that.

CopperLix

Me, too. We always went "up" to SLC and "down" to St. George.

2/8/16 5:33pm

I can confirm the notion. I just assumed that it was sin that cause the problem.

2/8/16 5:31pm

I've heard it too, but it's not just Utah people.

I once heard a colleague say, "Last weekend we was up to Tooele."

Tim

Do you work at Walmart?

titlecoug

2/8/16 6:10pm

I thought it was just me. I've heard a lot of people in Tooele use this phrasing

mobius

Followed by 'and we seen'. Those two go together all the time

2/8/16 7:59pm

You are wrong. I'm from Utah and Utahns refer to North as up and South as down.

This is not a thing. I have never heard anybody in Utah say this.

Here's another "never heard that before"

StantonMac

2/8/16 6:14pm

Never heard before and the OP makes sure to assign it

mobius

2/8/16 7:16pm

I get the yewt bashing and dislike on CB but towards the state I find hilarious.

Maybe he is a teenager who doesn't know geography?
