Yinz, PITTSBURGH "ref" style

[Drink IRON City]

Thought this would be a nice change up for middle of the week.

Just talks about the accent and the yinz-ernese of PITTSBURGH.

Slippy, gumbands, crick, pop, the list goes on. Behindt, as in behind the barn.

Love it!
Some of us that grew up in PGH didn't really get the Yinzer accent though.. but we still have that Western PA twang.
I sound more like Joe Namath than PGH Dad.
But 'yinzer' is definitely the sound of home..

My buddy who passed had a thick accent. He used a lot of the terminology too. Definitely unique!

Yinz are the best!

I shoulda chose Donny for my screen name.

Dad would tell me, "Get the warsh from the warshing machine." A soda was a "pop."

You call baking soda, pop? Strange.

I tease ol girl as she is a native Pittsburgher. I tell her what does it say on the can? She says, "soda". I then reply, "see even the manufacturers agree."

Honestly, I hate the name Stewey. I wish I could change it.
Family Guy popped into my mind when I signed up. I'm a big fan.

Besides, I don't even have a football shaped head.
Or a football mind, however you want to look at it. lol

The size of your head, or anyone else's for that matter, are of great importance to the regulars on this board.
