As everyone knows in Philly, this means, Did you eat? No did you? There are many dialects in Pa: do you rhyme water with butter? Is it a Creek or a Crick? Do you go Donna Shore?

How do you guys talk?

wudder, budder

cenner ciddy

souf street

pitcher = picture

I prefer to watch the Eagles play, but I know lots who root for the iggles

It's always a creek.

I come from the Philly 'burbs. My natural speech comes from Philly, but I mix in a bit of Pennsylvania Dutch. If I'm on a country music kick, I shift below the mason dixon line.

It will always be a hoagie to me. Anything else is hardly even a sandwich.

And we always go down to the shore. Whether it's Jersey, Delaware, or Maryland. Any one would be considered an exotic vacation. Jersey is a whole 'nother country anyway.

How about this: A can of Pepsi. Can I please go to the bathroom. The pronunciation of can depends on its use. In the second case, I say 'Ken'. Actually (Ackshly), I wouldn't be caught dead saying that, 'may I' was beaten into me from an early age.

Linguistics is awesome. And yeah, Pennsylvania does have it's share of differences even within our own borders.

And people from Pittsburgh say tahl instead of tool

Down da valley...going to Scranton
Hainna...Aint it
Wadder...water
Sid down...Back off or I'll kick your A$$

And ever notice how people from Western PA say "red up" instead of clean up?

I was rasied in philly.......rasied the kids in central coastal nj
Hubby was born and raied in philly. So kids grew up with philly talk.( action news was on everynight from philly)

Then the mass of NOrth jersey hits south jersey. My poor kids.They moved North fro college. They had to learn to talk all over again.

Then I moved to TN for four years,

Don't get me upset. It sounds like a southern yankee exploding with a twisted accent. LOL..............

OH- picnic.....pickanick. I was teased about this for many years
Oh- and mine. I say myan.

im in lansdale 12 miles north of philly and god bless a land with good ch steaks and what do ya get on the fries "sal pepa cechup" lol seriously though other states closest thing they got is roast beef sandwich w/ gravy nevada doesnt even sell steakums wtf

Sounds like Philly and Kentucky have a lot of words in common. I was born there and live most of my life there. i heard most of those words back it the sticks. lol.

Epic fail. I have lived around Pittsburgh my whole live and never heard anyone from Pittsburgh say Tahl. We all say tool. I have heard jaggerbush, jimmies, red up, dahntahn, crick, gum band, stillers, but never tahl.

It was in a review of good old Billy Mays, where they pointed out that is how he pronounced it due to being from Pittsburgh.

Got ya. Tahl sounds more like it would be towel to me, then tool, but either way, I still never heard anyone say tahl.

youns guys forgot "Spicket"!! I get ridiculed for not saying Spi-ggot. And don't forget warsh. It's funny how weird other states sound when they talk n'at.

Some folks 'round here go 'dahntahn', but 'tahl' is a new one for me. No doubt about it, though, folks do talk funny 'round here . It's called 'Pittsburghese' .
