Sweeper for vacuum
Tennis shoes for sneakers
Pop for soda...
And the signature, ignoring the verb 'to be' (e.g. This car needs cleaned)

I didn't know I talked any different untill I moved to Texas. They couldn't figure out what country I was from! Try explaining a pierogie to someone in Texas. And chipped ham? I went without chipped ham or pierogies for 3 years.
Now I live back in Pittsburgh and I'm so much happier. I don't have to explain what a yinz is.
My boyfriend is from California he thinks we say Pumpkin funny. We say punkin. At least that's what he thinks.

i'm not from pitt, but my fiance is. forgetting the verb "to be" is a good one, also the term "yins", and making a question sound like a statement.
