Yinzers are truly sweet

With all due respect to my dear friend Andrew, he misunderstands the true meaning of yinzerdom. Yinzers are not just people that say "dahntahn or n'at" at the end of sentences. While yes they tend to be blue collar in nature and sometimes from areas that are economically depressed, they offer so much more to society.

Yinzers are people who are completely and totally loyal. They have an undying sense of faith in the city and its attributes as I mentioned in the last post. So rather than being an economic drag on the city, they do all they can to further its cause and the varying businesses in it. They often visit Heinz Hall despite the lack of desire for the arts. I mean c'mon, who wants to see Casey at the Bat as set to ballet, when they could eat some Pierogis with an Iron City down at the Pirate game. Yinzers selflessly go to support the arts scene in the 'burgh.

Yinzers also kill deer. An act that may seem truly barbaric in nature, but not so when further considered. The reason for the innocent slaughter of animals is to protect others from car accidents and thousands of dollars of body work on their cars. Believe me, I've seen what hitting a deer can do first hand and it's quite an expensive experience. Yinzers selflessly thin out the deer population for us.

Finally Yinzers are slowly turning Republican. For example look with me at the last election. The east side of this state totally hosed us. As you moved westward it became increasingly red. Allegheny County finally voted Republican. I have no doubt in my mind that come next election we will vote a Republican as Mayor of this fine city.

All these traits: Loyalty, support, selflessness, and being conservative ... these are the things that make yinzers great. Yes they sometimes are loud. Yes they sometimes are unattractive (well most ladies not the yinzer accent in general). Yes they sometimes are blunt. But I am proud to stand side by side with my fellow yinzers to make the town of steel great again.
