To all you "Picksburghers", past and present!! Or
"Western Pennsylvanians"
Da Burgh
Ah yes! "Picksburgh "Yunz are from Picksburgh if . .
.
You walk carefully when it is "slippy" outside
You often go down to the "crick."
You've told your children to "red up" their rooms.
You can remember telling your little brother/sister
to stop being so "nebby."
You've gotten hurt by falling into a "jaggerbush."
Your mother or grandmother has been seen wearing a
"babushka" on her head.
You've "warshed" the clothes
I ask you to hand me one of those "Gum-Bands" you
actually know what I'm talking about.
You know you can't drive too fast on the back roads,
because of the deer.
You know Beaver Valley, Turtle Creek, Moon, Mars,
Slippery Rock, Greentree and New Castle are names of
towns.
A girl walks up to three of her girl friends and
says, HEY YENZ GUYS"
You hear "you guyses," and don't think twice.
(Example..."you guyses house is nice")
You know the three rivers by name and understand that
The Point isn't just on a writing instrument.
You remember the blizzard of 1994 and remember not
being able to go outside because the snow was over
your head and you would have suffocated.
You drink pop, eat hoagies, love perogies and one of
your favorite sandwiches actually has french fries ON
it.
You know what a "still mill" is.
You expect temps in the winter to be record breaking
cold and temps in the summer to be record breaking
hot.
You know what Eat'N Park is and frequently ate
breakfast there at 2:00 AM after the bar closed and
made fun of people.
You didn't have a spring break in high school.
You spent your summers at Kennywood, Sand Castle, or
Idlewild.
You've been to the Braun's Bread Plant or Story Book
Forest for a school field trip.
"Chipped ham" was always in your refrigerator when
you were growin up.
You refuse to buy any condiments besides Heinz unless
a Pittsburgh athlete's picture is on the side of the
container.
Your last name has 8 or more letters in it (and you
either have a 'Z,' 'U' or a 'ski' somewhere in there)
and nobody can pronounce it.
Food at a wedding reception consists of rigatoni,
stuffed cabbage,sour kraut and polska kielbasa.
You'll send this on to family and friends who used to
live in the Pittsburgh Area as well as to those who
have never lived there just so they can appreciate
how different western PA really is!
"I wonder how many of Yunz guys actually understood
all this n'at?"
