By Taylor Kay Phillips

Learn (and love) the language of the landlocked in this bitingly funny illustrated guide to the common phrases and sentiments of the American Heartland, from the author of the McSweeney’s series “A Guide to Midwestern Conversation.”

If you end an evening by slapping your thighs and saying, “Welp, I’ll go ahead and get outta your hair,” then you don’t 
need this guide, but you sure as heck might like it. Full of common Midwestern phrases (and what they really mean behind the friendly facade), A Guide to Midwestern Conversation is an affectionate, self-deprecating look at the language of a people long defined by their kindness and reduced to their voting patterns. Written by born-and-bred Midwesterner Taylor Kay Phillips, it’s a wink, a hug, and a firm handshake (with eye contact) to the millions of Americans who say soda and pop interchangeably and grew up doing tornado drills in school. 

Discover Midwestern conversational staples like:

  • How to announce that you hate something beyond comprehension (“I didn’t really care for it”) 
  • What counts as “a short drive” (less than eight hours) 
  • Sports talk (starts early, doesn’t end till we’re six feet under)
  • Describing the ultimate dream home (“It’s got a finished basement”)
  • An ode to the Garage Fridge


Including an array of guides, tips, and profiles of all the states included, 
A Guide to Midwestern Conversation is guaranteed to make Midwesterners (and their friends) laugh out loud, nod their heads, and ask if “anyone needs anything real quick while I’m up.”

Items works just as described.
great soap. Lots of suds, no lingering perfumy smell, and seems to last longer than most.

2 smell good, 2 not so good and it's made in China
These are interesting soaps. The inverted loofah sponge for the soap is in interesting idea. The black and green ones smell the best. They are made in China however so I'm going with a USA made one next. Dapper Yankee.

Exfoliating Scrub
I LOVE the smell of this scrub. Personally I love how my skin feels just a little oily after using it - it just absorbs with the lotion I apply after.

What everyone said…
Style: Grapefruit and Vanilla
It’s a lovely, greasy, salty mess and my skin feels so good after using it. Be careful so you don’t slip!

Clean ingredients, Clean skin!
I’ve been using this since 2022 & I’ve been loving it ever since! I really love the exfoliation you get from the scrub & the coffee smell. What really drew me to it was the clean ingredients. My skin feels some much smoother after using this! Only con is how much you get for the price. I think one container only last me 3-5 showers. Im also not the biggest fan of how much oil is in there because I simetimes don’t feel like I’ve gotten all the dead skin off, but it’s under a layer of oil so I have To wash my body again to get that layer of oil off to try to exfoliate and get all the dead skin off. Other than that, it’s a great product!
