Also pronounced, in Western PA..yuns, younse, yunz...Pop is correct

Down here it's soda and y'all..

Indeed, some of the very best athletes in professional sports spent time here in Pittsburgh, and many more (see Tony Dorsett, Dan Marino, Joe Montana and Johnny Unitas) are from the area

Also Western PA is the home of these Hall of Famers..

In addition to Marino, Unitas and Montana.. Joe Namath and Arnie Palmer are all from Western PA and Hall of Famers...

My fav Pirate was Roberto Clemente...

believe tony dorsett is also from that area.

my folks were born and raised in western pa, outside pittsburgh. still have a lot of extended family there, including grandmother (93) and most of her 13 remaining children (she advocates the rhythm method-it worked for her!).

my parents moved to MD before i was even a thought.

"Yinz" must be a South-Western PA thing.

You'd get slapped if you said that up here in the intellectual capitol of the world, AKA the Upper-Left of Pennsylvania.

Nobody under the age of 60 with an IQ greater than 60 uses yinz or yunz.

that's the thing, it's be years, about 30, since i've been up there and around those folks.
i don't know if they still use it or not. it's my dad's side of the family that used it. my mother was raised on neville island, they didn't use it.
