im from Cleveland and i just got home from my first visit to Pittsburgh, and i gotta say i was pleasantly surprised, i had the preconceived notion that all Northeast Ohioans have that Pittsburgh sucks but that is so wrong, i had a blast at the zoo and checked out the museums. i went drinking on carson street and rode the inclines, checked out rivers casino. its such a nice place. i will definitely be back. all the steelers gear was making me nauseous though! :)
Wow, you did a lot of stuff. I’d probably be nauseated by the amount of Steelers gear too, if I were from Ohio and certainly Cleveland considering the Browns (pronounced “Brahns”) have never even appeared in a Super Bowl compared to the greatness of the Steelers organization that is tied for most wins with 6…
@@jackhaughI've been back a few times since then. People from Pittsburgh have always been extremely nice and the "rivalry" is definitely one sided. This comment is from my late 20's btw. A full decade ago haha. I remember the trip I was talking about. Thanks for taking me back down memory lane.
Here's the thing I was never embarrassed about Pittsburgh. I love the way we talk but for me I wanted to get out and explore new places and I did and then I moved back. I just love the way we talk!
***** I grew up in Johnstown always saying "chipped ham", but now when I go to the story and ask for it, they say "do you want it chipped?" and I'm thinking "well, duh, that's why they call it CHIPPED ham" but apparently they think I'm saying chopped. So now when I go to the store I say "two pounds of chipped (pause) chopped ham", but that's the only time I do it.
dinnerisserved1972.com/2012/01/26/pittsburgh-chipped-ham-barbecue-sandwiches-with-church-lady-slaw/...check out the add for Isaly's Chipped Chopped ham....great recipe too :)
I was always under the impression that the product was Isaly Chopped Ham. If you want it really thin you ask the lady to "chip" it. Hence you go home with chipped chopped ham. Am I off base here?
100% chipped ham. its also not bought at "jun iggle." All of our grocery stores are possessive. So its either "jun iggle's" or "shop n save's" etc. Our grocery stores were once locally family owned places like "Smith's." www.ydr.com/story/news/local/pennsylvania/2018/04/02/why-pittsburghers-add-s-end-words/477820002/
I've been here 62 years as of next week and we have NEVER EVER called it, chip chop or chipped chopped ham, it's ALWAYS been, "chipped ham" (actually, "Chiptam"). It's only been called chipped chopped ham starting about 10 or 15 years ago! I really don't get it! When you ask for chipped turkey, you don't say, "chipped chopped turkey", so why do it for ham??
I live in Uniontown, an hour's drive south from Pittsburgh, where it's pretty much exclusively "yinz" and very little "yunz." Our accent is a little lighter here and we have some of our own minor inflections like a slight "aw" sound on words like "mall" similar to a New York accent. Uniontown's kind of a shithole though, we're like the country bumpkin cousin that Pittsburgh tries to forget it's related to. LOL
Love my Steelers and lived outside of Pittsburgh (Racoon Township, Beaver Valley) as a kid for several years, but I gotta say THANK GOD for the SOUTH. 🤣🤣
You forgot one of the great Pittsburghese moments...defying the laws of physics...ex. "Ahm gin up Jintiggle (always one word) dahn ere n git apounda jumbo and some mercan cheez..."
Most definitely. Being from da burgh and spending time aht East n’at, you Philadelphians definitely could pick it up easily. And believe me you may be the only ones who could. I know because with the people I met we’d have fun with them trying to do it and they just couldn’t. The laughs we’d have were fun though. Only eastern PA and northwest West Virginians could pick it up.
I love my accent so muchhhhh so proud to be from Pittsburgh 🟡⚫️🟡⚫️. My gf from Cleveland thinks we talk so weird lol so I just say stuff like this to annoy her 😂 Go Bucs, Stillers, and Pens🐧🐧
My folks were from up around Pittsburgh. Mom was raised on a farm near Altoona and Dad was from Williamsburg. So, I grew up hearing you'ns n at (yes, that 'n at' was all that was left of 'and that' by the time it reached my young ears.)
No, it's most often, Jyniggles, like there's a guy named, Giant Eagle and that's his store! Anyway, it's Jyn, as in, va-GIN-a. Also, it's: The Big Red Bird.

I knew a girl from Pittsburgh. Her name was Cahwnee. Or Connie, in the rest of the English speaking world.
Love it. Pittsburghese is a fabulous dialect and uhm prahd ta speak it.

We do not call it chip chop. We call it chipped ham.
Thank you.

I started "hearing" in the late 1940s in Bellevue and McKees Rocks. Never heard of chipchop.
What alternate universe does this guy live in where it’s called chip chop ham
That alternate world is pittsburgh
I only heard the word bologna sung in the Oscar Mayer
By faaaaar the best and ONLY primer “Aht ‘air”
ny favorite part of this vid is how the Steeler's logo is on EVERY slide!
Heinz Filled is onna Northside, not Dahntahn!
This is so trippy hearing myself talk now

Another example of Pittsburghese: gumban (outsiders call it a rubber band)
Also, East Liberty is pronounced Slibberty.
Pittsburghese will replace the English Language! {Buzz Killer}

As a Pittsburgher could not be prouder. of our dialect.

@@wandalllither2452 translation: I'm going up to Giant Eagle down there and getting a pound of bologna and some American cheese.
I'm from a little east of youse guys but I think I'd hold my own in there.
Most definitely. Being from da burgh and spending time aht East n’at, you Philadelphians definitely could pick it up easily. And believe me you may be the only ones who could. I know because with the people I met we’d have fun with them trying to do it and they just couldn’t. The laughs we’d have were fun though.

n'at is literally "and that." "haaj yinz like a beer n'at" = "how'd you like a beer and that (other thing like a thing of chip)

Collar, color, or caller? They all sound the same. But now I live in Boston, where khaki, car key, and cocky are indistinguishable.
I grew up (?) abaht 60 mals east, in Sumset Cahnty. We din't talk lak dat, but heard It alat, 'speshly win we wint in to a Parrits game.
n'at= and that.
Git aut! Growing up in Da Burgh, I never heard anybody say, "yinz". Where I grew up, some people said, "yunz", but never "yinz".
I did but my cousin always said "yous"
McKeesport - I always heard yunz, never yinz.
That accent drives me nuts!!!
That’s why it won the national poll for most annoying dialect in the country. Boy isn’t that something to be proud of
You do not get a hoagie from Giant eagle you get a riverboat!
I love my accent so muchhhhh so proud to be from Pittsburgh 🟡⚫️🟡⚫️. My gf from Cleveland thinks we talk so weird lol so I just say stuff like this to annoy her 😂 Go Bucs, Stillers, and Pens🐧🐧
Other cities have an accent, but we here in Da 'Burgh have our own language.
Somethingreal1119 must be from Cleveland
My folks were from up around Pittsburgh. Mom was raised on a farm near Altoona and Dad was from Williamsburg. So, I grew up hearing you'ns n at (yes, that 'n at' was all that was left of 'and that' by the time it reached my young ears.)
lol this is pretty accurate.
No jumbo, chipped ham
No, it's most often, Jyniggles, like there's a guy named, Giant Eagle and that's his store! Anyway, it's Jyn, as in, va-GIN-a. Also, it's: The Big Red Bird.
