Its snowing real hard in Pittsburgh.
My college classes have mostly been cancelled for the day (and maybe the rest of the week), and most of the local middle- and high-schools have been closed, but the gyro place down the street is still open and doing a brisk buisness. Strange, because despite the cities huge greek/polish/people-who-should-know-better population, almost everyone pronounces gyro "Jai-roe" or "Guy-roe."
Then again, Pittsburgheze, or Yinzer as it is also called, is syntactically, phonologically, and lexiconically distinct from every other dialect in the region (and by region I mean the whole USA) as well as its origin languages, so all bets are off. Thank you Scots-Irish influence on sentance construction, Eastern European word-borrowing, and German word-usage: Yinz truly f'd us over anymore, n'at. |
