4 signs you were born in the Midwest (by someone who actually was). 1. Saying "ope" when you accidentally bump into someone. 2. Saying "y'all" unironically. 3. Having nursed baby livestock (cows, horses, goats, etc) that you/family owned. 4. Doing the "my balls hurt" cowboy walk after having fun riding a horse fast (or not fast but still) and your thighs are sore.

I was making a joke about how midwesterners aren’t super distinct but FUCK, I totally say “Ope,” all the time, what the fuck,
