You (y'all, yunz) gotta take this test:
The Transplant
You are 86% fluent in Pittsburghese!
You're new to the city, or at least know people who live here. Your use and knowledge of Pittsburghese may or may not be ironic.
My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 25% on yinzerness

5 patrons are talking:
Oh sweet Jesus, you have my sympathy Liz. Just PLEASE don't start talking about Wawa or saying yins. *shudder*
This is fuckin scary:
The Transplant
You are 90% fluent in Pittsburghese!

I've only been there once. Really! But I did have a former (VERY former) girlfriend from Philly that went to grad school in Pittsburgh and really went native. So hearing her speak did give me some lessons in yin-ness. I hope there's a 12 step program for this.
Wow, were you guessing on those utenzi? I have an excuse for speaking Pittsburghese ... I live about an hour away ... and many people in my area do talk like that, so most of it made perfect sense to me, even though I don't think I talk like that.
70% ... not bad for a Canadian whose only been there for a couple Steelers games!

Unfortunately I wasn't guessing, Liz. I posted my first comment before taking the test--and thus assuming I was a 'Pittsburg virgin'. Alas, upon taking the test I found myself to have been forever contaminated by burg-speak. And that's when the second post occured. *sob*
