...old IMDB had indented style of posting replies, so you’d have to search an active thread for the newest post or put it to inline and check the bottom...I forgot all about that.
I was a big fan of that style of posting for years and now I can’t even fathom the hassle it takes to find a single reply.
Guess I got old. :/

I had to google "yinz". Damn, that's some intense regionalism.

This is actually a better representation of what it sounds like in action. Not always as douchey, but this guy makes comedy skits to emphasize it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ckizZALOYJ0 |

I didn't move to Pittsburgh from California until I was 9, so it never really became a part of my Lexicon. I do call rubber bands "gumbands" and have been known to "red-up" before. I ended up with the accent but I don't drink pop, I drink soda. That's a California thing, at least where I was at. |

I think at some point I just found soda more fun to say. Gum bands, red up, jag off, jagged bush, just using the ah sound instead of the ow sound for every word that applies. It’s all ingrained into my vocabulary. I have an uncle that moved to Louisiana after the marines and he developed an interesting Cajun/Pittsburgh dialect. |

I didn't realize that regional because my Pittsburgh mom always used it. |
