meagain You mean the rest seems like jumbo, lol! All that stuff is true Pittsburghese.
I live in extreme southeastern Virginia, 20 miles from the Atlantic ocean and 10 miles from the North Carolina border.
My wife grew up in Pittsburgh, and her mother, and both of her sisters and their families live there. Thus, I have been there many, many times.
Not only are their words strange, but their accents are crazy, too. The first time I went to Pittsburgh and heard my brother-in-law call his kids down the stairs to greet us, I remember thinking 'my wife didn't tell me that her sister married a foreigner.'
