I didn’t want to get specific with the jersey, but in my head it’s always a Sweed or Mendenhall jersey. Never a current player. Maybe I should’ve added the part about “former borderline player” haha?

Yinzers that are “reaaaaally” in the city-bet yo ass.

I actually get super pumped (and not in a mocking manner, at all) when I hear someone who’s got a really thick Pittsburgh accent.

It’s part of our heritage that’s sadly associated with “lower classes”, like the Townie accent in Boston.

I don’t want it to go away.

I live in my brother-in-law’s former house, next to my husband’s grandmother, where we have Sunday dinners of stuffed cabbage and pierogis, and everyone has the same hairstyle that we did thirty years ago. There may or may not be signed Penguins memorabilia adorning the dining room.

My first day in Picksburgh when I moved into a rented extra room, I asked my yinzer housemates where I could buy some groceries.

I spent the next half hour driving up and down Murray Avenue looking for John Nagle Grocery Store.

Omitting “to be” from sentences.

I.E.

“The lawn needs mowed.” compared to “The lawn needs to be mowed.”

I never knew this was a specific regional thing for most my life. Honestly, I find the former more efficient.

*Pow (I think. Haven’t heard it in years.) Once about 6-7 years ago I was selling a car on Craigslist. I went back and fourth with an interested party via email and we agreed on a price. We scheduled a time for him to come see the car. He rings my bell and I open the door and effing Scott Paulsen is standing there. I text him every so often to see if he still has the car.

Worst Jyn Iggle I ever seen was over on Centre & Craig years ago.

Yeah, that particular weird-ism (called "dropping the infinitive") was one of those things for me that sounded completely normal until it was pointed out to me...and ever since, it's like nails on a chalkboard every time I hear it.

Another one like that for me was "slippy".

The best is when you find yourself using landmarks that haven't been there your entire life.

​

You just learned it because you heard your parents using it so much, and so any time you're talking to anyone their age, you just fucking use that landmark because that's what they're going to know.
