A native resident of the greater Pittsburgh metro area. Often seen attending classic rock concerts (Poison, Bon Jovi, Journey, etc.) in a 80's model Camero or Firebird. Many yunzers sport a mullet haircut, wear acid wash jeans and sleveless T-shirts.
That Yunzer Steve let his girlfriend Tracy drive his sweet 88' Firebird T-top and she was trying to put her makeup on in the mirror and wrecked into a parked car, now he has to buy a whole other can of Bondo to fix his fender in time to go see REO Speedwagon at PNC park.

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.

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.
