You forgot "Yinz"
Yinz goin aht n abaht in dahntahn Picksburgh to watch da Stillers game?
Yinz is definitely a Scots thing
That's actually "you'uns" and despite being from the deep south I barely ever heard it growing up. Guessing you are from the south too
Yinz is a Pittsburgh and Pennsyltucky thing
Genuine question. What is the "tucky" in pennsyltucky? Is it somehow tied to Kentucky?
Yeah, it's the area south of Pittsburgh near WV, why is it called Pennsyltucky instead of Pennsylvirginia? No idea.
But, it's more of a "here be hillbillies" thing, especially when compared to the rest of the state.
Kentucky = Hicks
I was editing an Irish comedy recently which used "yinz" and "yiz" a lot.
Wow, this is news to me. How does a new word get the s to change to a z like that??
