The midwest isn't all bad or hick-like. But I get the jokes since I'm in the midwest. 

Sadly, a lot of the midwest is going backwards to 1950. I'd love to move but I care for my 91 yr old dad.

I agree.  I rather think of where I live as 'flyover country'.

I'm from the Midwest and growing up we called the living room the front room, but pronounced it "frunch room."

To this day, I never call shoes sneakers but gym shoes, lol.

Living room is front room, sneakers are always gym shoes. Soft drinks are soda, never pop. Going to a movie is going to the show.  Sofa?  No way, it's a couch. Lifelong Chicagoan here.

My dad says *Welp!* (thus, so do I) and he was born in Philly.

He'll say 'Welp, I guess we'd better head home....' as an example.

@Oznell I got a kick out of these!  So funny!   Every place has it's "dialogue" and most people are able to laugh at themselves.    Kind of like Boston, fairly close to me, everything is "wicked" LOL

Thanks for the laugh

How about the all one word "Lookit". You point your finger and tell someone to lookit or you begin to explain something by saying lookit.

Everyone should check out Charlie Berens on facebook and instagram. He is hysterical. This is spot on coming from a Wisconsinite.

Having lived in Missouri all my life, I "got a kick" out of this. Wouldn't want to live any place else than in my small town. 

One thing Mo. has that NO one else has is....

Patrick Mahomes!!! GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL so funny!  I'm sw suburban Chicago. 

My BIL says he can tell we are suburban Chicago because we say:

"Where you at?"  instead of Where are you? I guess.
