Okay, here's what I hate. I'm from the Philadelphia/NYC area and I moved to Pittsburgh about a year ago. I don't understand why the hell all these people out here talk so differently from people on the east coast. I mean, I hear people say they're going to the store and I'm all, what store? And they're like, the store. And I'm like, there's more than one, what the f*ck are you talking about? And they say something like, you know the grocery store? And I'm like, damn, can't you say "super market?" So I was talking to this guy who goes to school with me at Pitt and we're talking about New York and I said something about the Bronx and he was like, Oh is it nice there? Nice? Nice?! Yeah, if you like being hassled by homeless people collecting empty aluminum cans for money for food. So these people out here in Western PA have this thing going where they say "yins" and have southern accents...can someone explain this to me? I can't tell you people how many kids I have met who sound like they are straight out of sweet home Alabama and then tell me they grew up around Pittsburgh. What the hell's up with that?! Not to mention their grammar skills...okay, well I'm done being the pissed off east coast chick here. Damn, that felt good... :)
