Yin-z'er

Any individual that falls in the Gen Z age group and is also a western Pennsylvania native, mainly Pittsburgh.

Hey, how old is that new girl from Pittsburgh?
She's in her early 20s.
Oh, that makes her a Yin-z'er.

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.

yinzer

A resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Known for their love of all things Steelers and Donnie Iris and extreme hatred of Cleveland. Consists mainly on Primanti Brothers and ethnic cuisine. Yinzers can be easily identified by their one-of-a-kind, ridiculous accent.

Did you see those yinzer fighting the Brown's mascot at last week's game?

Yinzer

A person from Pittsburgh who is terrified to leave western Pennsylvania. Has one of the highest percentage of born and bred population yet still has a decreasing population because nobody outside Pittsburgh ever wants to move in. Most successful people work at a family business or their parents connected them and couldn’t be successful outside the city itself. Yinzers obsess about sports because there’s nothing else positive about this town.

Bill is such a yinzer…he was offered a job in Florida for double the money but won’t leave because he wants to go to the Stiller games and hang out in the sahside with his high school friends drinking Iron City’s.

yinzerati

Member of Pittsburgh's yinzer elite. Membership requirements include, but aren't limited to forever rejecting Rolling Rock for leaving Latrobe, being able to recite the play-by-play of the Francisco Cabrers's two-run single in the Pirates' 1992 NLCS playoff loss to Atlanta, knowing the #1 Best Seller at Primanti's isn't a sandwich, thinking Kennywood is better than Walt Disney World, thinking Joe Grushecky is better than Springsteen, having worked at National Record Mart at some point in their life, shedding a tear during a reminiscence of Mr. Rogers, going to Monroeville Mall to reenact scenes from DAWN OF THE DEAD on a date.

Honorary members include Roberto Clemente, Mario Lemieux and Bill Cowher, who's membership was revoked in 2009 when he sounded the pre-game warning siren at a Penguin-Canes NHL playoff game.

You ain't no yinzerati if you go to Primanti's and ask for fries on the side.

Aw, man. I made too many pierogies. Call up the yinzerati to help me eat 'em.

Me and the yinzerati are going to the Slovak Club if you want to come.
