I grew up outside of Pittsburgh and moved to Upstate New York a few years ago. I find myself calling people, "yunz" and asking for "gum bands (rubber bands)". I call people "nebby (nosey)". Years ago there was a beer commercial for a local beer called Fort Pitt. Their slogan was, "Fort Pitt. That's it!". I sill say "Fort Pitt:" at the end of meetings, etc.
