Yinz is a Pittsburgh and Pennsyltucky thing

Genuine question. What is the "tucky" in pennsyltucky? Is it somehow tied to Kentucky?

[โ€“] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

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.
