it's a midwesterner thing. see, in indiana, kansas and minnesota, innocent or naive people are 'summer children'. assholes and self-centered people are 'wintergirls' or 'wintermen'. or at least they were until that book called wintergirls came out and now wintergirl/winterman means anorexic or bulimic.
my mom isn't even from the usa but my dad was born in kansas, did college in indiana, and lived in minnesota for three years. my vocabulary is a fucking disaster, and i blame him.
This tag makes me wanna go reread Wintergirls.
