In real life, I don't have the traditional Yinzer accent (Example: Here, this is hillarious)

BUT- I do have a Pittsburgh vocabulary. When I was a sophomore in college, I made an offhand comment about a "gumband", and...crickets...
It blew my mind that this word I had said all my life that was NOT UNIVERSAL. I also felt super validated when I lived in Northern Ireland and "slippy" is totally part of the vocabulary.
