i recently moved to pittsburgh, and am finding it quite different from upstate pa where originally from, with words....for instance:
I call it a shopping cart-------here its called a shopping buggy
I call it a bag------here its a sack
i call it either soda or its brand name-------here its pop
am i weird or is this city weird?

Get used to hear yenz instead of a group of ppl and so on etc.
cart
bag
soda or brand name
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!

yeah, forgot about yenz, i heard someone say that once and I just looked at them like they were dumb....turns out i was the dumb one

Around here its cart, bag, and soda or brand name.
And whats with calling it a sack? What are you Huck Fin? Wheres Jim?
No its not you they're weird.
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
yeah i heard a lot of good ones living with a roomate from the burgh and me from outside of philly.
Hats n Nats or something im trying to remember. He said dollars weird too like "duallars".
And do yourself a favor and go get a permani bros sandwich, you can thank me later... still doesnt beat our philly cheesesteak though
What's up with PA and general with their major cities and one way streets?

a few years ago, i dated a guy from the burgh, and the one thing he says the most that STILL amuses me: "out n about n at" to say he's going out. i didn't know it was easier to say 4 "words" instead of 2.
