The post on Pittsburghese is fabulous. I like the debate over the second sound clip – about how people from Pittsburgh phrase questions like the Irish. It’s so distinct! I’ve lost my accent but whenever I go home I pick it up again.

There are a number of Pittsburghers – myself included – who are boycotting Rolling Rock since they left Latrobe.

Sorry: since they left Latrobe an’at.

This is a great post! I miss Pittsburgh so much. Now I’m craving an Original dog and gravy fries… ah, the hometown.

Please note the grammatical/spelling error: “7. First Banana Split – 1904. The banana split was invented by Dr. David Strickler, a pharmacist, at Strickler’s Drug Store in La trobe, Pennsylvania.”

It is spelled “Latrobe,” and it also the former home of Rolling Rock Beer.
