A new resident of Pittsburgh is startled by some of the dialect there, like yinz instead of "you" for the second person plural, and nebby for "nosy." What's up with that? For a wonderful site about the dialect of that area, check out Pittsburgh Speech and Society. This is part of a complete episode.
