re: #114 ckkatz

That is exactly my experience as well.

Basically second person plural which English lacks.

I always assumed based upon immigrants familiar with languages having that second person plural, such as Celtic languages, German, etc.

Other amusing Yinzer terms include:
redd
chipped-chopped ham
jumbo
nebby
gumbands
jagoff
dippy
n’at (pronounced ‘an at’)
slippy

The capitol of our nation is pronounced Worshington

Can’t speak of elsewhere, but in Squirrel Hill the phrase “Kennywood is open” had a specific meaning. Not having to do with Kennywood. (Kennywood was the local amusement park.)

Yes I remember “Kennywood’s Open” and what it meant when I said it to a teacher in High School Hell and I got detention for that.
