Pennsyltucky

Pennsyltucky
 n.— «Outside the city limits of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh is a place some refer to as “Pennsyltucky.” It’s a place filled with farmers and blue-collar workers who like to drink beer, absolutely love their guns and listen to country music. When it comes to social issues, they tend to side with the Republicans because they really hate the idea of gay marriage and illegal immigration.» —by Mike Myzak in Duquesne University Duquesne Duke (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) Oct. 26, 2006.
