Yinzer

A provincial, typically residing in the western half of Pennsylvania (USA), who strongly identifies with the nearby city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, often due to a fervent, pseudo-religious loyalty toward one or more professional sports teams headquartered there. "Yinzers" are so called because they speak a regional dialect of American English featuring the use of "yinz" or "yunz" as the second-person plural pronoun. Yinzers are the subject of a number of stereotypes, some of which they are actively proud and consciously reinforce to strengthen their sense of identity, an example being their use of French fries as a condiment.
Traffic in Pittsburgh is very bad this afternoon; a veritable army of YInzers has descended on the city due to the baseball game.

yinzer justice

A system of social mores that finds it not only acceptable but necessary to exact a broad array of punitive measures against an individual or individuals for heinous grievances such as defacing the Terrible Towel, stealing a parking spot saved by a parking chair, etc.
In a clear example of yinzer justice, the car was encased in a two-inch think layer of ice, courtesy of a old lady and her garden hose after the car's owner moved an old lady's parking chair and took her parking spot. The Pittsburgh Police have thus far refused to comment on the matter.

Yinser

A term, more often spelled "yinzer," is usually used as a pejorative. It refers to those from western Pennsylvania, other mid-southern states, parts of the mid-west, and some east-southern states, who use the word "yins" (variations include "yinz," "yenz," and others). It is pejorative because it is used to judge groups of people, through language, based on their socio-economic status, typically being that of the working class. Other, more widely known, offensive terms may be synonyms, such as "inbred" or "white trash."

Uses of "yinser" are typically made as offensive generalizations about those who use the word "yins" (and its variations) based on the fact that its usage exists in areas which are highly populated by those with working class status, especially in what is known as the "Rust Belt."

"Yinsers" is sometimes used by those who are disconnected from parts of the US in which "yins" is used as a second person plural, similar to "ya'll," and therefore many of the aforementioned stereotypes are made. The term may also be used by groups attempting to disassociate themselves from the status of working class.
