Southern PA Accents

No, I don't live in the deep south or Tennessee. Yet, I definitely sound different than everyone here. When I first met Jan-Michael, I noticed a slight accent and words I had never heard of. But gradually he lost a bunch, except for his infamous accented "hook" which no one will understand unless you hear him say "hook".
Now we are living in world of new words and accents. Very slight accents, but accents all the same. It also varies from person to person. I thought I could tag the older adults in having the strongest accents, but yesterday I listened to a bunch of teenagers who sounded the same. However, those who are in college have lost their accents, while those who never went have kept them.
I am extremely vulnerable in a situation like this. My experience working in Customer Service at Wells Fargo brought to my attention just how susceptible to accents I am. It is only a matter of time before I too will be a bit more twangy.
Already my husband has caught me in the act. At first I laughed at it, and then I began to use it. My new favorite word is "listen". More common among the 20 year olds, "listen" is used to begin a sentence or story. So instead of saying "So my brother met this girl the other night...." or "Oh my gosh, my brother met this girl..." or "Anyway, my brother met this girl...", they say "Listen. My brother met this girl..." So listen is not used to say - hey open your ears and hear what I'm saying, it's used to start a statement. "Listen" is used probably more than any other word. No more do you hear "like" or "you know?" a hundred times in a story... instead it's "listen"! I guess you'd have to hear it to understand. Or maybe the next time you talk to me you will catch it.
Here are a few more examples of how to speak in PA:
"You'ns" pronounced either yinz or youins is a word they use for you in plural form.
To sweep is actually vaccuming.
It's "cut the grass" instead of mow the lawn.
Naturally "pop" is soda.
There are no subs unless you're at Subway, otherwise it's a hoagie.
To iron is to press clothes, but "the press" is actually a closet.
Clicker is the remote control.
Prolly instead of probably
"Patch houses" are what we call "cookie-cutter houses" in AZ, except patch houses were made for coal mine workers.
Steelers are pronounced stillers.
Miles doesn't have an "I" sound but an "a" sound instead so it's mahles. The same with tire and fire.
Creek is pronounced crick.
Sucker bite is a hickey.
Raadiator with a long a sound is radiator.
Cream is lotion.
I guess this "language" is called Pittsburghese because not all of PA sounds like this. I'm sure if we went to Philadelphia, we'd all sound quite a bit different!
