Yinz

Yinz is a term for "you all" used almost exclusively in Pittsburgh and other parts of western Pennsylvania. Similiar to "ya'll" in the Sourthern United States, "yinz" is a popular local slang term that is used sardonically in local culture. For example, a group of Pittsburgh area political cheerleaders call themselves "Yinz Cheer" and an area literary magazine is The New Yinzer , a take-off of The New Yorker. Also, stereotypical, blue collar Pittsbughers are affectionately nicknamed "Yinzers."
