About This Quiz
Everyone seems to think they can nail down a Midwestern accent like it's no big deal. However, if you grew up in the Midwest, you probably know that there are dozens of accents and hundreds of slight variations of those accents, so people from the coasts never seem to have it right. Someone from Minnesota will say completely different things than someone from Chicago, but we're all from the Midwest, and we have a lot of lingo that other people might not know. As a matter of fact, a Chicagoan might know exactly what a Minnesotan is saying when they hear "yeah, bye" on the phone, and everyone in the Midwest is privy to the different words for different foods in their region ... how else would we order our favorite foods with extra cheese, extra sauce and extra everything that we can get our hands on?
You might not know what a stop and go light is, but you can figure it out along the way. Whether you were born and raised where the corn meets the Great Lakes or you're a coastal dweller trying to test your knowledge of the "flyover" states, this quiz is going to be tough, because it covers every nuance of Midwestern lingo. Â
