Yinz is a Pittsburgh and Pennsyltucky thing

Genuine question. What is the "tucky" in pennsyltucky? Is it somehow tied to Kentucky?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's the area south of Pittsburgh near WV, why is it called Pennsyltucky instead of Pennsylvirginia? No idea.
But, it's more of a "here be hillbillies" thing, especially when compared to the rest of the state.

Not just the area south - basically all the area in between the two cities. And yeah, it's basically like saying "once you're out of the cities, you might as well be in Kentucky."
