if your from PA
I havent lived in PA fro almost 13 years,( wow thats hard to believe its been that long) but its amazing that i know and understand alot of this.
"Hey Yuz Guyz" is your traditional greeting. You know the time and
location
of every Wing Night in a 10 mile radius. You know the location of the
following towns, know someone from them and have spent time there:
Monongahela, Altoona, Bethlehem, Ligonier, Harmony, and Wilmerding.
You've
memorized lines from the movie "Flashdance". If you're a guy, your
biggest
fear is seeing your best friend drive into the "fruit loop". You're
second
biggest fear is seeing him drive out with Kordel Stewart. If you're a
girl,
you're biggest fear is getting hit on by a hairy-chested man, heavily
weighted in gold chains, who refers to his friends as "junior" at
Chauncey's. Your latest cultural experience: On your way to partying at
Slippery Rock University, having to stop your car to let the Amish
buggy
cross the street. As your out-of-town friends brag about their latest
trips
to Europe, you think to yourself, "Polish Hill will suffice." You eat
out at
least once a week at a mafia-owned Italian pizza parlor. Your father
has
worked for the same company for over 20 years. You don't see what all
the
hype is about Disney World when Kennywood is just around the corner.
You're
having a hard time on where to take your date out for dinner and a
night on
the town: - "meat on a stick" in the south side and the guzzling IC
Light at
Jack's... Or splitting an order of "O fries" and guzzling IC Light at
Peter's Pub. " N at' " is eloquently added to the end of every
sentence.
You've taken deliberate field trips to the Andy Warhol museum. You
water ski
on the Youghiogheny River Lake. You feel the only good bands out there
are
Donny Iris, Joe Grushecky, The Blue Oyster Cult, and of course....
Rusted
Root. You're more worried about Jerome Bettis's health than your own.
You
own more than one original Terrible Towel. You don't understand what
all the
hype is about for Rolling Rock beer. You've been drinking it for years,
although Penn Pilsner is better. You consider a great vacation a trip
to
Conneaut Lake or Lake Erie. For something a little more exotic, a trip
to
the Jersey shore. You're 35 years old, have never been outside of
Allegheny
County, and don't see the need to leave. You only own four ****es:
salt,
pepper, Heinz ketchup, and the bottle of Trappey's Red Devil you swiped
from
Primanti's. For the life of you, you can't understand why your all your
out-of-town friends don't get the "fries and cole slaw" thing... You
have
101 favorite recipes for kolbasi and sauerkraut. Words like: hoagie;
chipped
ham; pop; and gumband actually mean something to you. You can use the
phrase
"Firehall Wedding" and not even bat an eye. You walk carefully when it
is
"slippy" outside. You often go down to the "crick". You have to "red
up",
before company comes over. You've ever gotten hurt by falling into a
"jaggerbush". You know that Ahia is a river, a boulevard, and a state.
You've ever "warshed" or "wershed" the laundry. You know you can't
drive too
fast on back roads,cause-udda-deer. You've drank an "Arn" . You've told
someone to "quit jaggin around". You know that Clinton, Monaca, and
Beaver,
are actually names of towns. You've called someone a 'jaggoff'. You
hear
"you guyses", or "yins" and don't think twice. You hate Cleveland,
although
you've never been there. You drink "pop", eat "hoagies", pierogies, and
gyros(jy-rows). You know what a still mill is. You can find Zillionopal
on a
map. You go 'food shoppin' at 'Jine Iggle'. You believe that "Ize" is
the
abbreviaton for "I was. You know someone from 'Sliberty, E-sliberty, or
Wesliberty. You know the Pittsburgh Zoo is in 'Hilinpark' and have been
there for school field trips. You know what is meant by "The Point".
Chipped
ham was always in your refrigerator when you were growing up. You
actually
get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Pittsburgh.

RE: if your from PA
I'll tell ya, when i moved to NY i got so much sh*t from everyone about how i talked. I still slip up sometimes. But when i would go back to PA they would say i talked weird. So now i have a PA/NY mix, my own pronunciation. The big one was the name Scott. Pronounced almost Scat in NY. or Again pronounced "Agin" in PA, LMAO, i still dont know how to pronounce some NY stuff after all this time.
