Shit People From Pittsburgh Say
- February 14, 2012

Well, this is going viral:
Once again, I’m faced with the problem that I can’t understand the Pittsburgh accent very well and of course, the YouTube captions aren’t helping AT ALL:
Dupage burning their brands, indeed.
And this? This is “jagoff”:
It is now so. Bhargav.
However, the parts I did understand? HILARIOUS.
Of course, if you asked me to compare Wayne Gretzky and Mario, I’d be all, “[stands on top of a mountain and raises her hand in the air] Lemieux. [Begins digging a hole to hell] …”

Another thing about the way Pittsburgh people speak is – and you have mentioned this before – the leaving out of words. In this case, it’s the word “that” between “Shit” and “people.” I saw your post’s headline in a newsfeed and I immediately wondered “Who are the ‘shit people’ and why are they from Pittsburgh?”

Remind me that you’ll be there. Thinking of hitting Las Velas before or after, depending on when Ginny will get there.

This is one of those things that made me laugh so hard I snorted, which of course makes my cat look at me like “the heck is your PROBLEM”.
Oh, Pittsburgh, you and your ridiculous streets, I miss you.

Lol! “How did I end up on this side of the river?” that has happened to me many times. And also “Uh oh, getting on the parkway without meaning to” has happened a lot.

Don’t forget the ever-popular dropping of “to be.” As in: “You need slapped” v “You need to be slapped.” Or “The house needs painted” v “The house needs to be painted.”
I’m gonna redd up and worsh the dishes.

“You’re not from Pittsburgh, you’re from Cranberry.”
So, so true.
