I'm from Ohio, about as Midwestern as you get, and I've heard both of these 
definitions of tripe. As a matter of fact, I remember a few times the word 
getting me into trouble. Once was for insulting my mother's cooking, and once 
was for insulting a classmate's poetry.  (Ok, so I wasn't always polite as a 
child <G>)
