Only those who are from Pittsburgh or have visited will find this email I just received remotely funny. The rest of you will be scratching your heads, but trust me, there are parts of the city where this is the language spoken! I know at one time there was a skit on SNL about "Pittsburgh-ese" and the strange way some words are pronounced ("Go Stillers!") and I'm sure some family in the South Side ("Sahth Sahd") is really singing this. Merry Christmas!
