Maybe it is not the same you are talking about, and maybe this is nothing similar to.
But I have also liked a lot and laughed a lot too hearing how Michale Stipe (R.E.M. singer) sings "Call me when you try to wake her up" in the "Out Of Time" album song "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite". Instead of "Call me when you try to wake her up", it sounds like "c´ll you try wakeherpppp" in just one or two seconds. It´s very funny. All the best magic, Pablo Tejero

H our' Pittsburghese isn't as bad as yunz think! *Goes off to Gian' Eagle to buy some pop* My dad always told of stories of people asking him if he was from Pittsburgh down in VA because of him asking for pop and chipped ham. I have even heard of someone going over to Europe. And someone goes across the bar, interupting the conversation to ask if they were from Pitt because of the way they talked. I guess it's that recognizable, even around the world! Mack Magic

I actually am 20 minutes from Pittsburgh but try to go whenever I can. I always go to the Strip District during the summer. I'm still a student in a high school called Trinity.

Hiya, Magi:
My predecessors are a mix of Midwesterners and Southerners, who have bequeathed a number of colourful regional idioms which may be recognized by others here: "Tagger" is not an urban paint vandal -- it's the kind of beast that attacked Roy. "Ranch" is not an agricultural center, but a tool used, for example, on autos ("I need that 5/8" open-end ranch"). "Hant" is a ghost. "Skillet" -- a cast-iron pan used mainly for frying bacon and chicken. "Grinning like a possum on a pile of s***/sack of manure." An expression of smugness; manure is the term used in mixed company. "Fine as a frog hair/split four ways." The proper response to "How do you do?" "Crazier 'n a (out)house rat." "Like I been rode hard and put away wet." (As in an horse which has been roughly ridden and improperly stabled.) One response to query, "How do you feel?" "______ up a gumpstump." When one has an immense quantity of something, as "Thumbtips up a gumpstump." You're on your own with the etymology of this one, though it's a common phrase amongst Missourians. "My belly button's shakin' hands with my backbone." This person is REALLY hungry. Leland Edward Stone |

In French, Greenland is Groenland. I always thought that was pretty funny.

I grew up in Chicago and now live in California. I miss sitting in the "frunchroom"
It is front room, but was always pronounced frunchroom for some reason. Hell, I miss the Chicago accent all together (well Chicagoans do not think they have an accent!)
He who laughs, lasts.
