The Midwest seems to foster a strange conspiracy of euphemism, a denaturing of English/ American language, to render it bland and tasteless, like the Midwestern culinary diet. This masks an underlying bitterness, a horrendous subconscious monster that devours the soul. Poor sods. No wonder their kids turn Satanist.
