Comment from : Dan M

As someone from outside of Pittsburgh, and if I wanted to purchase reality, I would NEVER want to purchase from an agent who misuses the English language, saying words like Xspecially for the correct use of the word es-specially Speak properly so the world knows that "yinzers" are not completely stupid or uneducated!
Comment from : Red McWilliams

Comment from : NJV

Pittsburghese is a wonderful language We speak the word DEAL as 'Dill' Comes to us naturally due to the fact that we were once the pickle capital of the country Just sayin 😎👍

Speaking of Pittsburghese, I like how she says "exspecially" instead of "especially" (Incidentally, I was born and raised in the Brookline neighborhood of Pittsburgh)
Comment from : Keyser Soze

Been here all my life "x-pecially" is not really a pittsburgh word It's just a mispronunciation

Comment from : beegee22

I took a job in Pittsburgh and lived there for 3 years It's a pretty cool city, especially if you're a sports fan Be careful for the people turning left to just cut you off and make you slam on your breaks, it's a real thing and was really annoying
Comment from : Jake

Sounds like a dumb city
Comment from : Mikeys Iron Rage!

We don't call treed areas "forests" We refer to these areas as "woods"
Comment from : Dinos Workin On It

I’ve lived in a lot of states since 1983 I moved to just northwest of Pittsburgh back in 2006 Out of all the other states I love Pennsylvania! The scenery is gorgeous and the people are so friendly It’s like a mini NYC You’ve got Squirrel Hill with the Jews, Bloomfield with the Italians Pittsburgh has some great restaurants too I was born in Ohio near Indiana where it’s flat I would never move back! I had never heard of perogies or haluski until I moved here

Has a pittsburgh potty in it lol If you're reading this and visiting, please check out the Strip District! So many fun shops and yummy foods I have a lot of fond memories there brAlso I just learned that I might say Eckspecially My dad says a lot of this stuff actually LOL He's been living here for over 60 years
Comment from : loveheart♡

"Ekspecially"? -- brbrHow about "Scotch-Irish," as opposed to Scotch and Irish There's a big difference It goes back to the old Protestant vs Catholic conflicts
Comment from : Invictus96vid

Comment from : justme

Me being a native here this city ain't much for the hard working class anymore People are rude can't drive worth a damn cry & whine about everything that don't go there way Outrageous expensive Crime is ridiculous & the homeless is at a all time high she ain't telling the whole deal & super coating most of it The speed limit is 55 mph but they wanna do 35 but once through boom 80mph
Comment from : Dachamp2001

Comment from : Bennie Benson

She left so many things out when it come to the food though…
Comment from : Ash Ley

Never knew ppl refer to that thing we do as the “Pittsburgh left”, I do it to make my turn before the light turns 😅… I pull out just far enough so that I am forced to make my turn even when the light changes back red… Because people are rude and won’t let you turn 😂 kind of gotta be agressive or you’ll be there waiting til the next light 😂
Comment from : Ash Ley

Tunnels on parkway East are the worst
Comment from : Ash Ley

Hills everywhere 😂 yes
Comment from : Ash Ley

We do NOT eat melted cheese on our salads 😂 but it absolutely has to come with fries and at least one protein … It’s absolutely a must unless you’re on a diet
Comment from : Ash Ley

Deer are everywhere here 😂
Comment from : Ash Ley

Dang
Comment from : Dumpie

You say the word ESPECIALLY very odd!!
Comment from : arlovisuals

It's not the tunnels It's the drivers that can't maintain speed through them
Comment from : Charles Gates

Cringe Local realtors use this to create a profile online and drum up business This was tough to watch as it really just relied on all the standard cliches that are generally not applicable to most people in this area Lived in south hills all my life No friend or family member says STILLERS, OR YINZ Our weather isn’t all that dramatic, winters in recent years have been mild I could go on…
Comment from : guins99

Everyone in Pittsburgh don't say yinz or jag off It's certain groups speak like that
Comment from : Laura Dennis

Pittsburghese is spoken in at least half the state
Comment from : David Shanholtz

Pittsburgh in and of itself is okay - I don’t have a problem with the place brbrIt’s the people here who I don’t particularly like - I find them clicky, gossipy and problematic brbrNo “shade”, I’m just saying
Comment from : TLW

For those who have never had an experience with deer, it is a lot easier to hit a deer than you might think They will run or jump in front of cars, but with their tiny hooves, they get little or no traction on pavement, meaning when they try to jump or run out of the way they can slip like a hog on ice In short, if you can't stop and the deer is in your path, it's a prescription for a collision
Comment from : Mike Lambert

The term Jaggoff is a Pittsburgh original Some think the term Jaggoff was created in Chicago Its means to go away If you get jagged by a jagger bush The term Jaggoff was born A Jaggoff hurts like a Jagger bush Hench go away or You Jaggoff It is actually a pretty bad term
Comment from : Nec Big Dog Ozzi

25 yrs ago there was Primanti Bros sandwiches with fries, but fries on your salad wasn't a thing yet
Comment from : Lin Woodnymph

I grew up about 7 miles south of downtown in the 1950s When moved about I used to say that no two roads in Pgh went the same way
Comment from : Bob Esposito

Ecpecially 🥴 especially
Comment from : Jack Travis

JAGOFF!!!! My the childhood memories THAT word brings back!🤣🤣😂😂👍👍
Comment from : Greg

I am an hour south of PittsburghbrI know tons of people that will not drive there including myself We must have a different driver to navigate all that craziness
Comment from : Brenda Bowers

Number one should obviously be people parking on the wrong side of the road First time I saw it after I moved here I freaked out thinking I was driving the wrong way on a one way street
Comment from : PFBM

Please warn new residents about the hills in the winter I grew up there, and cars sliding on hills should be on a comedy show
Comment from : Nemo Marcus

I'd like to buy a house there just for the toilet in the basement! And it would be great to attend a Donnie Iris concert
Comment from : Michael Bacon

Yinz are spot on Good job! I'm inFlorida now I just wanted to hear someone speak normal N@ !
Comment from : WILLIAM WUOLO

The GPS thing is so crazy, I experienced it myself and was glad I did sort of know where I was going and not relying on it I picture strangers driving around in circles for days LOL!
Comment from : Flo Hough

And lastly, that flashing yellow arrow LITERALLY is the same as a green light It makes no difference whatsoever! If so, somebody please enlighten me
Comment from : Allen Combs

And the tunnel thing…it makes me wanna scream every time! It’s just a tunnel, folks Nothing really changes except you have a roof over your head for a ways But yes, even in high traffic you keep moving At its worst it’s not terrible Try Atlanta or Houston at rush hour You’ll never complain about traffic here again!
Comment from : Allen Combs

“Several” bridges she says Like 446 It ain’t called the City of Bridges cause we got “several” of them, lol
Comment from : Allen Combs

Just a note, Pittsburgh culture mainly comes from the central Europeans, Poles/Germans/Slovaks and Czechs It has left a huge imprint on the culture, and far far more than any other groups
