McSweeny's: A Guide to Midwestern Conversation
Alluded to yesterday, this humorous translation of Midwestern politeness is especially hilarious to us blunt Northeasterners:
“Oh my gosh, I didn’t see you there!”
Ugh. I really thought I’d gotten out of your sightline. You are painfully boring and never shut up. Talking to you makes me want to gouge out my eyes out with the keys to my Camry. Please sit down and split my bran muffin.
“Those kids have a lot of energy”
MONSTERS THEY ARE MONSTERS. I have never once requested compensation for babysitting them.
You can read the whole list over at McSweeny's (some adult language).
