I thought the list said "dippy"? It took me a number of years to learn to not order my eggs under-cooked, but as "over-light" or "over-easy". Now I steam them )cover with a lid as they fry in the pan).

Nope, it definitely said "drippy". Maybe it was a typo...

Does anyone remember Fastnacht Day? It's actually the day before Ash Wednesday, also known as Mardi Gras.

It's the day when everyone brings in donuts to work and the bakeries go crazy making them! Of course, I grew up in Allentown, heavily influenced by the Pennsylvania Dutch and German folks.

How about potato filling and chicken pot pie? Filling is NOT stuffing and I make my own at Thanksgiving. You don't make it IN the bird, it's a potato casserole of sorts.

And chicken pot pie is NOT a pie! It's almost like a thick, chicken stew with big, square "bot boi" noodles (I also make my own).

Boy, I'm really getting hungry...

True!

But I still think New Jersey is WORSE in that area!

This was so great! Born and raised in PA until my early 20's, since then have lived in Maryland for the last 16 years. I grew up in Punxsutawney and my DH and I graduated from Punxsy High School and all the sayings are truely so typical. Did you all know there is a Groundhog King and Queen. There is also that drawl in your voice when you say "ynz", that is very indicative of western PA. Yes, deer season is a state holiday where kids do not go to school the first day or buck season. I still hear people refer to sunny side up eggs as dippy eggs when we go home. I will be forwarding this list to my fellow PA born and fellow Maryland transplants. What a great Post!!
