Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh

By the far the wealthiest neighborhood in the mid-sized city of Pittsburgh, PA. It is chock full of Starbucks, Synagogues and J.A.P.s, WASPs and their mothers. Everyone who is anyone is an alum or a future alum of Taylor Allderdice-Squirrel Hill's Blue Ribbon School that pumps out gorgeous Ivy League-bound intellectuals, driven Division-One athletes and beautiful well-rounded individuals ready for 4 years of fun at wickedly expensive liberal arts schools. The girls are stylish and sophisticated, clique-y and have been bred to be ambitious and bossy from years of varsity sports. The boys are well dressed and mildly out of control- believing they can do anything, date anyone and smoke weed and booze anywhere (and they can). Growing up on the East End ensures knowing how to have outrageous nights partying like a rockstar while making sure that the only thing that those noisy soccer moms are gossiping about is your complete success.

I am from Squirrel Hill and you wish you were me.

Pittsburgh Pirate

A violent sexual act involving the thrusting of a an erect penis into a partner's open eye followed by kicking said partner's leg in a manner severe enough to cause significant pain and/or damage, temporarily giving them the appearance of a one-eyed, peg-legged pirate.

Things were going great with Emily until I gave her a Pittsburgh Pirate. Apparently most chicks aren't willing to lose the use of their limbs or eyes for the sake of unparalleled eroticism and unprecedented sexual gratification. Women.

Pittsburgh

The greatest damn place in the universe. pronounced - Picksburgh. We hate Cincinnati. Fuck the Bengals. The Steelers are a religion. We bleed black and gold. We say "yinz," "haus," "warsh," and our favorite foods are "kibossi" and pirogies. Rolling Rock and Iron City are the shit. It's cheap but fucks your ass up, so who cares? You can't drive five minutes without hitting a pothole, but get over it. You don't like it, get the fuck outta my city. We have K-Mark's, and Wal-Mark's. We have tittie bars. We're getting a casino, and if you don't like the "Stillers" you're obviously not a real football fan. It's Car-Nay-Gee not Carn-Uh-Gee. Contrary to popular belief, there are NOT a lot of rednecks. But yes about the fat men drinking Pabst beer all day. We love our Amish. You're just jealous cuz you don't have them! We have Paps, not Paw-Paws or Pop-Pops. You can take a bus most anywhere. Tourists love to take pictures of our city all lit up at night. I've rode the incline, several times. Everybody loves giving the bird in Pittsburgh! We tell people to stop being so damn "nebby." When you ask someone to hand you a "gum-band" you know exactly what they are talking about. For yinz or youz guys who don't know what a gum-band is : that's a rubber band. We know all three rivers by name. The Ohio, Monongahela, and Allegheny. When someone starts to chant "Here we Go Steelers," you know exactly what to do. We drink pop, eat hoagies, and all our sandwiches and salads have fries on 'em. We have still mills. We have Eat N' Parks, Ponderosas, and can order "dippy eggs" at restaurants and have the waitress or waiter know exactly what we're talking about. Kennywood is the best amusement park in America. Chipped ham is in every refrigerator. Hunt's is unheard of, Heinz all the wayy baby. We don't have creeks, we have "cricks". We walk carefully when it's "slippy" outside. Most of our parents have had to walk 15 miles to school in 6 feet of snow. If you don't like Pittsburgh, get the fuck outta here. We love the "Dirty Burgh."

"Where yinz guys goin'?"
"To down town Pittsburgh."

Pittsburgh Dump Truck

The woman lays on her back while you start shitting on her torso. Next, you proceed to scoot backwards to her face while saying, "beep beep beep" until you finally rest your ass hole on her mouth. This act should only be reserved for holidays or anniversary's.

"Susie will be pleasantly surprised that in her stocking this Christmas is a gift certificate for one free Pittsburgh Dump Truck."

Pittsburgh Piledriver

While doing a girl doggie style simply reach up and knock her arms down causing her to fall flat on her face and her ass to shoot up in the air where you then stick your dick in the ass...

Ginna would not let me have anal sex with her so I tricked her and gave her the Pittsburgh Piledriver.
