In the initial press conference, she was asked "will you apply icy hot to the groins of all the players?", to which she replied "no, I am still under contract to do that for the Steel City Yinzers, and I want to make sure I can fulfill my obligations there - as soon as someone tells me what a 'Yinzer' is."
So watch out!
I think we'll have to let Sally out of her contract, we can't have another team's manager rub our player's groins!
What's a Yinzer? Sheesh.
https://yinzershop.com/blogs/fun-facts- ... s-a-yinzerOur very own city of Pittsburgh undoubtedly fits into this category. And, so does our unique, blue-collared culture.
Most certainly, the peculiar and much-celebrated word to define the whole of this wonderful land would be “Yinzer!”.
"Yinzer" (or "Yunzer") was historically used to identify the typical blue-collar people from the Pittsburgh region who often spoke with a heavy Pittsburghese accent. The term stems from the word yinz (or yunz), a second-person plural pronoun brought to the area by early Scottish-Irish immigrants. Over time, yinzer has been used by many Pittsburgh residents to self-identify, even if they don't speak with a thick accent.
As the city gained note as a desirable place to live, more outsiders have moved or returned to the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The term has taken on a connotation to identify someone who, for better or worse, is either a lifelong Pittsburgher, or says a phrase or commits an act that could be identified as something a stereotypical Pittsburgher might do.
