How to talk Minnesotan

"It's okay to feel good about things here but there's no sense running down the street telling people about it at the top of your voice Minnesotans prefer to express their positive feelings through the use of negatives because it naturally levels things out.

From the 1993 TPT video "How To Talk Minnesotan" by Howard Mohr. He also wrote a book with the same name.
