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.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
