Midwest

I’m not sure if I can think of many local slang terms that are Indiana specific, but I always see midwest/indiana memes that are really true and make me laugh. But Im still not convinced they’re “Indiana” things. Let’s see what you guys think.

1. Weather forecast- We all get them, but as far as Indiana goes, this is an imaginary thing. They are never accurate and yet we plan or cancel many events based around the slight chance the weather forecast will be right. You can’t even trust the temperature because it could be very humid..so still hot, but with a low temp, or a colder temperature but the sun is shining and there’s no wind.

2. Cornhole-

Is this not a common game?

3. Ope-

Like when you bump into someone or other awkward things.

4. Pop- I know soda, pop, and coke vary between states. Everybody here loves a polar pop from circle k! But Ive also heard older people say soda-pop?

5. Naptown- Indianapolis :)

6. Can I also just add:

Potholes and roundabouts are daily words, which might not be common everywhere. Construction is constant and is always failing to fix potholes, while constantly adding more roundabouts.
