      That’d explain why I haven’t heard it before. Furthest east I’ve traveled is the Texas end of Louisiana, despite occassional curiosities.

      And it basically means ‘yall’?

        That’s my understanding. I’m not native to the yinz area I’ve just worked with people who said it.

        Yup. Pittsburgh pretty much has it’s own language.

        Yep. Also “yous” and “youse guys/girls”. Former rural Pennsylvanian. Miss me those Philly Cheesesteaks.
