Midwest

The massed region that I call home. It is composed of the following states: Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota. This is the greatest part of America, if you ask me. The largest cities in the Midwest include: Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Columbus, Omaha, Louisville, Cleveland, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Kansas City, Des Moines, Fargo, Sioux Falls, Madison, Cincinnati, Evansville, Rockford, and Minneapolis.
The Midwest is the only place I'll ever call home.

Minnesota/Midwestern Accent

The "Minnesota" accent is actually called either the Upper Midwestern Dialect or if you are talking about northern MN it is called the North Central Dialect. Both of these include other Midwestern states as well. The "Minnesota" accent is influenced by Scandinavian and Canadian dialects. There is a large population of Norwegian immigrants which is where a lot of the speech traits come from. The Upper Midwestern Dialect is the most common throughout the state. This includes traits like elongating vowels, esspeciall O. The North Central Dialect is more of the stereotypical "sing-song" kind of accent. Many people with the North Central Dialect will use V in the place of W. Turning "Well" into "Vell". Another reason for some of these differences is because many languages that influenced these dialects do not have many of the same phonemes that Standard American English has. So there you go... an indepth analysis of the "Minnesota" accent. (And trust me... Minnesotans do have an accent. I grew up there and then moved to the west and people catch it all the time!)

Midwesterners

People from the midwest. Incorrectly stereotyped as:
Racist
Hicks
Conservative (in actuality, the midwest is very balanced between liberal and conservative)
Stupid (Some of the best public education in the nation is in the midwest)

Correctly stereotyped as:
Friendly
Trusting
Honest
Hard-working

These people are some of the nicest you'll find anywhere. They aren't as interested in materialism and greed as others in America. Very good work ethic.
East Coaster: You midwesterners are stupid hicks, fuck-bag.
Midwesterner: I'm sorry you think that. Would you like to come in for some dinner?
East Coaster: I feel really guilty for being so mean and making such horrible generalizations about such a nice person.

Midwest Layaway

When you take a dump on the floor in front of the layaway counter at Kmart.
Only two more Midwest Layaway deposits, and that VHS Box set of Full House Season 3 is totally mine.

Midwest Snowsuit

The winter wardrobe of males ages 12-19 in the midwest. Generally consists of baggy shorts and t-shirts/wifebeaters. Most who dress this way think it makes them look tough for braving the sub-20-degree temperatures in summer clothes, although they usually just end up looking like douchebags.
John had to borrow Matt's coat because he wore a Midwest Snowsuit to the Christmas light display.
