A Guide To Midwestern Conversation

"If you end an evening by slapping your thighs and saying, ā€œWelp, I’ll go ahead and get outta your hair,ā€ then you don’t need this guide, but you sure as heck might like it. Full of common Midwestern phrases (and what they really mean behind the friendly facade), A Guide to Midwestern Conversation is an affectionate, self-deprecating look at the languageĀ of a people long defined by their kindness and reduced to their voting patterns. Written by born-and-bred Midwesterner Taylor Kay Phillips,Ā it’s a wink, a hug, and a firm handshake (with eye contact) to the millions of Americans who say soda and pop interchangeably and grew up doing tornado drills in school.

Discover Midwestern conversational staples like:Ā 

  • How to announce that you hate something beyond comprehension (ā€œI didn’t really care for itā€)
  • What counts as ā€œa short driveā€ (less than eight hours)
  • Sports talk (starts early, doesn’t end till we’re six feet under)
