I found a good movie for Yinz to watch.

Hi gang:

It's called " The Man who knew infinity ",

It's free to watch on YouTube.

It's based on a real historical person, so it's a true story ( mostly, as far as movies go ).

Enjoy.

"Yinz" is that Pittsburgh dialect?

 

[Kira]

"Yinz" is a second-person plural pronoun, meaning "you guys" or "you all," used in the Pittsburgh area and Western Pennsylvania, and it is the foundation of the term "Yinzer," which describes someone from the region, often with a working-class background. The word has roots in the language of early Scots-Irish immigrants and has become a distinct and sometimes humorous part of the local dialect known as Pittsburghese. (from a major website lookup service).

When Mrs. Kira and I were in Pittsburgh last, we did not hear this used.

Does Jean-Claude Van Damme dress up in the Pittsburgh Penguins mascot costume in the movie? If not, you can count me out

I just called my friend who lives in Pittsburgh and he said it's "Yinz" then he said several other words that I have never heard. Dialect is strong in Pittsburgh.

 

[Pablo]

Yinz is a new word to me.

It's amazing when you interface with someone who just "sees" the solution where others are stumped.
I married such a person. Her calm solutions to complex failures are legendary. "How did she do that?"

 

[Pew]

I've been watching YouTube shorts of it and it's been pretty interesting. I think I'll watch it after blacklist.
