  8. Ok I catch myself doing this and suddenly wondered if it was a #Midwestern or (because Kansas is NOT Ohio) #GreatPlains thing…?

    which is "look at him, the male"

    And there's "look at 'im" -
    which can be "look at the little critter whose gender I don't know bit he's Just A Little Guy (but gender neutral; I feel like "Little Guy" is an archetype)" BUT ALSO can really be fudged with the "regional accent" to sound like "look at 'em" as in THEM and I don't know if I "invented" that?? Or if it's genuinely regional and Kansans are more progressive than they realize in the way they speak… 😅 I've never noticed anyone else doing this.
