re: #169 Feline Fearless Leader

It wasn’t until I was at college and had the “How to Speak Pittsburghese” booklet that I realized that my father said “slippy”. (Explanation: slippy = slippery)

He was from the Johnstown area originally. And we’d moved to near Pittsburgh from northeastern New York state right after I graduated high school. So Pitt was my real first exposure to that whole set of regional slang/dialect.

I grew up in Bucks County, but a lot of my family grew up in the Centralia area so I got the yinz and other weirdness.
