Pittsburghese

The Pittsburgh English dialect, or "Pittsburghese," derives from influences from the Scotch-Irish, German, Central European and Eastern European immigrants. The dialect is somewhat similar in tone to other nearby regional dialects (ie, Philadelphia, Baltimore), but is noted for its somewhat staccato rhythms (a result of the Eastern European influence). The lexicon itself contains notable cognates borrowing from Croatian and other Slavic and European languages. Examples include babushka, pierogi, and halushky.

Emblematic of Pittsburghese is "yinz" as the plural of "you", with "yunz" as a variant. Locals who speak the Pittsburgh dialect are often referred to as "yinzers".

Speakers of the dialect also often compress the pronunciation of words and phrases. For example, "up there" becomes "up er." Speakers also often end a sentence with "and that", pronounced as, "n'at." For example, a local "yinzer" might say, "We went dahntahn to go get some beer n'at."

Pittsburgh Slipper

when a girl, who doesn't like to taste cum or mess up her sheets when giving head, removes her own sock and places it condom-style on your dick when you say "Now", thus ejaculating into a warm cotton sock. Afterward, you make her put the sock back on with either shoes or slippers and walk around.

Dude, last night I gave this chick the best Pittsburgh Slipper of all time. Shes never getting that sock off.

Pittsburgh puffer

A rabid Steelers fan that brags about his team like they have never had a losing season, and would suck the skin off a Steelers players cock and balls rather than face the reality that Pittsburgh sucks.

"Did you hear what that jack-ass said about the Steelers? He's a real Pittsburgh puffer."
