"No yeah" = Yes "Yeah no" = No "Yeah no for sure" = Definitely "Ope": You accidentally bumped into somebody. This is sometimes followed by "I'm gonna sneak past ya." When asked how you're doing, respond with "Livin' the dream" or "Good, how are you?" We call it pop, not soda. Ranch on pizza or wings is fire. Bleu cheese is gross. When we drive around, we mostly just end up at a retail store, browse, and buy nothing. We put an 's' at the end of places that don't have them i.e. Kroger's, Meijer's...
Person not from Illinois: "You're from Illinois? I love Chicago!" Me: "Oh, I don't live in Chicago. I live in *insert small town no one has heard of*".
Carter Weigel Don't feel bad. My sis from Iowa moved to Kansas City, Missouri. When she first moved there, she said she lives in Kansas Missouri. And I said, "You can't live in two states at the same time. You either live in Kansas City, Kansas or Kansas City, Missouri." It took her so long to figure out that there was a state division line, and getting through to her was incredibly frustrating.
“So who’s Casey? Is that your cousin or something? It’s a gas station? You eat dinner at a gas station!?” 🤣🤣 from someone who has lived in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, AND now Wisconsin, I can definitely say this video is totally accurate haha
I didn't realize how often I actually say these until a) I went to college outside the Midwest and my friends found it hilarious and b) I started watching these videos
This is the most Midwestern sentence to ever exist: “Ope, let me just SNEAK right past ya and grab some ranch while Andy gets the batteries for the clicker.”
Mike D yep I agree. I’m kinda turned off about chick fil a nowadays. They’re getting way too focused on profits and a lot of their recent decisions show. Meanwhile every Culver’s is spotless and the employees are happy to be there.
I was raised in nowhere, Wisconsin, and now i go to college in Minnesota, so I'm midwestern all the way down. I met a girl from Reno and holy BALLS it's like we're different planets. We cannot communicate the same. And, my best friend is from NYC and he made me very aware that midwesterners really are much nicer compared to everyone else. It's disturbing to them how nice we are! Heck!
@@benjaminvonwerder9167 why not just eat ranch with pizza anyways do they not offer it to be honest not sure if mine did I think my middle school might have but my highschool did not
Scott Covert yes, but then we lift our hand up, point at a specific part, say “I’m from here” and they’re like “...why are you pointing at your hand???” not realizing that’s how people from Michigan tell each other where they are from hahaha
Been there done that. Unfortunately the one down the street from me sold out to a dollar general. I ain't mad they have some decent stuff there but I do miss family video the folks there were nice and gave me coupons
I'm from IL, every time I tell people what state I'm from they say "Oh you're from Chicago!". No, I'm from IL, it's a very long state, and Chicago is in a small section in the very North East corner. Edit: never thought that this would get so many replies. To all those that asked, near Annawan IL is where Im from. Right on Interstate 80.
I moved to MN from southern cal in 2005 when I was 13 and was shocked by how thick the accent was. I vowed that I'd never sound like that. Now, here I am saying things like, "scuuse me, I'm just gonna sneak on pastya real quick" and "Op, sorry". It takes over like a sickness. Ive learned to love it.
I think you would have more subscribers if the people that could relate to this had an internet connection or a computer or knew what a computer was or were literate
Someone54 I live in Missouri and I probably have better internet than you. And yes Missouri is in the Midwest. And tbh from what I’ve heard about In an Out is that it isn’t that good, and low quality like McDonald’s. But you have to eat the fries fast or they turn into mush. To me ranch on anything other than a salad with a bunch of bacon bits is gross, but people do put it on pizza and stuff.
@@slim7406 dude I know I got 200mbps internet, could get up to 1gbps if I moved to Kansas city. Live in st Charles county, which is one of the safest and most well off areas in the whole US. Every state has its stereotypical areas though
@@cameronr7223Yeah, I've heard about St. Charles. I got lost in St Louis last year in late June heading to Fort Walton Beach FL and we luckily took the wrong turn into St Charles.
I suggest we break up "The Midwest" into groups of states because it really is too broad a region. Group 1: Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Group 2: Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Group 3: Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri. Group 4: North and South Dakota
Northern Minnesotan here, people were going to work last year at negative fifty. I mean, I called in because....holy crap, you could actually die. But apparently a lot of people showed up. At that point...they should shut down all business by law.
I must be the only one that won't leave home when it's -30. If the car quits you can die before an over worked tow truck gets to you. The reason tow trucks are behind schedule is so many cars break down in that sh*t
I met some people from England who had never met anyone from the Midwest. The first thing they asked me was do I eat a lot of pork? "We grow pork." was my answer 😁
moved to nebraska from texas a year ago. holy shit this is beyond accurate. the casey's bit had me legit laughing out loud for the first time in like two years.
Honestly I didn't know Casey's was pretty much just an mid and southern- western and so thing until this video. I've growm up by them so I just don't question em anymore
Opposite. I live in Wichita, the largest city in Kansas (no, not KC, most of that is in MO), but people always think I must live on a farm. When I lived in Manchester, NH, they asked me how I liked it there and I said I liked it, it's just the town was a bit small for my taste... They looked at me like I had 10 horns. Small? But you live in Kansas!
Honestly I notice the "midwest accent" more when talking to people from the cities. Up here in North Eastern MN I don't notice it much. However we do have a few old timer Finlanders around and they do sound quite goofy when they talk.
As someone from Iowa I feel this deep in my soul The thing is, I DO live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by corn, except for the cow pasture down the road, so, well...
From St.Louis to Panama City, FL. Been here 15 yrs, still get crap for saying "Warsher" in ref to a washing machine...and other things. It's still funny.
ConnorocksLIVE I’m the most normal sounding mother fucker I’ve ever heard. I don’t really have any accent to speak off lol. Probably a good thing. And I’m from the burbs. Good place to grow up for sure. Ranch on errthing.
I couldn’t stop laughing when you said, with all seriousness, “You don’t have In-N-Out!” 😂😂😂. I’m from Chicago, born and raised not far from the Loop, moved out to Southern California where I discovered In-N-Out. In our town/city, the lines to get your Double-Double are so long around lunch time and dinner time. ❤❤
Illinois sucks! I'm in the metro east of St Louis, which is technically Illinois, but come on, I'm only 15 miles from downtown St Louis (even closer to it than those in St Louis County!), and public transit is considered the St Louis region, but say I'm from Illinois, and it's Chicago, Chicago, Chicago- part of the St Louis metro region is Illinois too!!
I grew up in Missouri but live in California now, the sorry bit killed me cause it’s happened to me so many times Lmao We say it out of courtesy and respect not so much cause we mean it all the time
I'm from the great state of Pennsylvania, although my family is from Wisconsin and we are Packers/Badgers fans, and this is exactly how everyone in PA thinks of the midwest, when they do think about the midwest which is not a lot.
Casey's has opened up in Oklahoma and Arkansas (two decidedly non-Midwestern states), and as a native Midwesterner that pumps me up. Pizza, cheesy potato bites, killer donuts. Now if Runza would build a restaurant down here in Muskogee.........
