If y’all ever visit the Midwest - not sure why you would, though - there is an important social rule that you need to understand:
“No, yeah.” = Yes, definitely.
”Yeah, no.” = Absolutely not.
Also, avoid Chicago at all costs. Yeah, high crime rate is the usual reason people say steer clear, but in my opinion it is more a problem of Chicago having the most aggressive drivers on the planet. Interstate highways leading into Chicagoland are terrifying. Driving in that area is an easy “Yeah, no” from me.
(Side note: Since the stories I write are always extremely dialogue heavy, I often have to stop myself from having characters say “Yeah, no” or “No, yeah” in order to hide my Midwestern influence lol)
