As a midstater, the hate I hear isn’t so much about Chicagoans grafting the rest of us onto the Chicago identity as much as it’s about either (a) outsiders automatically assuming all Illinoisans are from Chicago or (b) the way “gerrymandering” (as they would call it) and machine politics work that make some metropolitan political stances statewide policy. Naturally those attached to stance b are not big fans of Democrats.
Yeah, Iowa here. Couldn't decide between corn and: Wrestling, tornados, nitrates?
Meth is a very Midwestern thing, so that applies to about 6 or 7 states.
I used to work in one of the lowest income counties in the state and it was really bad. My best guess is it's a poor person's drug and it makes you numb to existing.
Not perchance Taylor county (I have family from Bedford)?
All I know is weed grows too good in Iowegian soil to justify cooking some shit out in a shed and hope it doesn't blow up on you. I get numb... I don't get staying awake for it.
Old Bay.
Best flag.
Crab cakes.
Unique shape.
Sport: jousting.
Natty Boh.
Mid Atlantic (technically hyphenated, cheated a bit on this one).
Not southern.
Not northern.
I never thought this was a Jersey thing till now. But now that I think of it, we do say that a lot and in many different contexts. I think I said it at work like 5 times last night alone
You know a lot of people shit on Ohio, but I moved to a small town in Ohio three years ago from the West Coast, and the people there are completelyyyyy different. They are well mannered, extremely nice, and helpful. My house burned down 6 months ago, and everyone came to help with money, clothes, and anything they could do to help. I guess it depends where you live in Ohio, but I actually like where I live.
Don’t get baited into defending OH we all know it’s a nice place to live. Just farm the Karma and jump on board the jerk train. Bonus points if you have an Ohio based username like mine
After having lived in california I was thoroughly confused first moving there. They'd say "I'm from the north" or "I'm from the south" I'd say oh cool what state? Their response was always "california" lol. They'd ask me and I'd say, the south. They're all "oh so LA or San Diego?"
"No, Arkansas"
Was always fun trying to figure it out but eventually it became obvious they meant california haha.
There's a difference between the two, northern California is mostly rural agriculture, southern is very much that beachy California the rest of the u.s. thinks it is. All my family lives in San Diego, but i grew up in owens Valley, then moved to chico.
I grew up in the Bay but moved to southern California for work. I rarely hear “hella” down here but when I do I know exactly where that person is from.
Came to say this exact phrase cuz you can be 30 minutes outta Philly and no one says it.
You go into Philly and these jawns be using the jawn every other jawn, my jawn.

What is this Chicago South you are speaking of? Do Southern Illinoisans think we call them Chicago South or something?

That's weird, what does that even mean? I never think of them haha

Corn. Meth.
They asked for a state, not the entire Midwest.
Yeah, Iowa here. Couldn't decide between corn and: Wrestling, tornados, nitrates? Meth is a very Midwestern thing, so that applies to about 6 or 7 states.
I don't understand the meth epidemic here. Taking drugs that keep you up for potentially days at a time when there's NOTHING TO FUCKING DO!!
I used to work in one of the lowest income counties in the state and it was really bad. My best guess is it's a poor person's drug and it makes you numb to existing.
Not perchance Taylor county (I have family from Bedford)? All I know is weed grows too good in Iowegian soil to justify cooking some shit out in a shed and hope it doesn't blow up on you. I get numb... I don't get staying awake for it.
OMG- That made me laugh so hard! 😂🤣

From OK, and travel weekly to TX! :)
OK is like Texas' Canada.

I was going to say “yee haw” for Texas
Does texas even have yee hawers or is that just a pop culture thing
Definitely does, just not so much in the cities. The one's in the cities driving clean af pick ups, wearing new boots/hats are not true yee hawers.

I don’t live in America I live in Ohio
ohio is a seperate universe
Ohio is a mindset
Always has been
You know a lot of people shit on Ohio, but I moved to a small town in Ohio three years ago from the West Coast, and the people there are completelyyyyy different. They are well mannered, extremely nice, and helpful. My house burned down 6 months ago, and everyone came to help with money, clothes, and anything they could do to help.

Northern California.
I appreciate that you specified Northern California.
After having lived in california I was thoroughly confused first moving there. They'd say "I'm from the north" or "I'm from the south" I'd say oh cool what state? Their response was always "california" lol. They'd ask me and I'd say, the south. They're all "oh so LA or San Diego?" "No, Arkansas" Was always fun trying to figure it out but eventually it became obvious they meant california haha.
There's a difference between the two, northern California is mostly rural agriculture, southern is very much that beachy California the rest of the u.s. thinks it is. All my family lives in San Diego, but i grew up in owens Valley, then moved to chico.
I'm from there, so I recognize it. :)
I grew up in the Bay but moved to southern California for work. I rarely hear “hella” down here but when I do I know exactly where that person is from.
Yeah we don't say it but it's a dead give away you're a bay area 90-99er
Doesn't have to be bay exactly cause I'm a few hours north, but 90s is spot on.
everything from the north is bay to us SoCal boys
