They think we talk funny

1. Is there a Philly equivalent of the word “yinzer”?

2. You’d have to tell me what it means first.

3. A “yinzer” is a person from the Pittsburgh area, so called because of the local dialect, in which “yinz” functions in more or less the same way as “y’all” or “youse”.

   To inform a group of people that they are jerks, a Pittsburgher might say, “Yinz a buncha jagovs…”

4. We would use the word “yiz,” not yinz, in that sentence.
