The Midwestern special is when you marry your high school sweetheart from the small Midwestern town you grew up in, only for the relationship to dimish more and more over time until it ends in a divorce.
Guy 1: Bro did you hear about Gus and Abbey?
Guy 2: You mean those two high-school sweethearts that got married after high school? They didn't get a serving of the Midwestern Special did they bro?
Guy 1: Bro they did.
Guy 2: That sucks to hear.
Guy 3: Smeh

A no-win situation in which no action is taken because all parties defer to the others. Like a Mexican standoff but with toxic niceness instead of guns.
Every driver at the 4-way stop waved the others along but no one would go since it was a midwestern standoff.

Khakis, shirt, and tie, but no jacket. It's what guys from the Midwest think is "dressing up," but fail to realize they look like Mormons.

A Midwestern Goodbye is a way to leave an event, party, or any gathering of people. The way one does a Midwestern Goodbye is to go to the door, grab your coat and proceed to talk to your host for multiple hours while next to the door. No matter the soberness of yourself or your host you must engage in an enriching conversation covering recent and past topics and events. A Midwestern Goodbye is commonly associated with Minnesota Nice
