Yinz = you all

Yinz = you all

Also sometimes said as “Yinz guys.” Yinzers love yinz. Get used to it.

Sweeper = vacuum

Also, the verb “sweep” is used when vacuuming, which is a bit confusing when saying, “I emptied out the sweeper and swept the carpet.”

Slippy = Slippery

Simple and used all the time in winter. “Careful: The sidewalk is slippy.”

Redd up = clean, tidy up

Used by old, yinzer parents when they want you to clean your room. “Your grandparents are coming over, so go upstairs and redd up your room.”

Pop = soft drink

Pop = soft drink

Pittsburgh choosing pop is the equivalent of Penguins vs. Flyers and Sheetz vs. Wawa in Pennsylvania’s pop vs. soda war. Head east, and you’ll find the opposite.

Nebby = nosy, prying

Used to describe your most gossip-loving coworker, primarily used when referring to personal, yet trivial details. “Stop being so nebby about my date last night.”

Crik = creek

Crik = creek

Used for just about any flowing body of water smaller than a river. “Just have the kids go play near the crik.”

Buggy = shopping cart

As simple as that but said more authentically with a slight accent. “Go aht an’ grab me a buggy.”
