A family member of mine will be living in Pittsburgh starting next summer and I want to give them a funny/terrible slang guide for Christmas.
I basically need help coming up with fake phrases. Something along the lines of:
Bus: Steeler Sleigh
Steelworker: Allegheny Lumberjack
Steep Hill: Landy Warhol

Make sure you tell them to not be a jagoff.
Also, avoid the parkway during rush hour.
Finally, don’t order a Primanti’s sandwich and ask for any ingredients to be removed. It’s ok to add an egg though.

Why would you need to make up anything? Pittsburghese is already odd enough!
Or just get a Yappin’ Yinzer !

Question about Philly (close enough) is it true than an authentic Philly cheese steak is just the meat and cheese wiz? Because I have been told this by multiple people, but I still doubt it.

That’s the best part: They’ll think it’s all a joke until they google the first few words on my list. Then they’ll assume the rest are true and make a fool of themselves!

Discussing Philly cheese steaks is like arguing over “real” BBQ, or which is the “authentic” Detroit Coney hot dog . The only winning move is not to play.

No, you see Texas was once a country. So that’s the tie breaker in any inter-state competitions.

Yeah, and its terrible! I always figured a “philly cheesteak” I could get at a local pizzeria in Jersey was going to be crap in comparison to a “real” one. Well when I finally got around to trying some in Philly itself, I learned that the real one isnt supposed to have any real cheese, sauted vegies, or anything else on it. The ONLY reason why I like “philly” cheesteaks is because of the peppers and onions and greesy melted cheddar cheese or something like that. It was so disappointing to have the real thing!

People in philly don’t eat cheesesteaks with just wiz. Most popular is with just melted cheese, with cheese and onions, or with cheese onions and peppers. Mayo optional.

Fun fact: when they were dating, my mom told dad she used to play with home-made dolls as a kid because that’s all they could afford, and her Indiana accent had him thinking all they could afford were “home-made dowels”. Imagine the horror thinking she only had wooden sticks for toys growing up.
