Mike, I guess I shouldn't expect you to know this, but many Pittsburghers consider "yinzer" to be a classist, offensive word.
It's a pejorative word that makes "jagoff" seem tame in comparison.
I'm smarter than I look; I used the word deliberately. I'll explain in another post.
... but the use of the work "Yinz" isn;t offensive. A better title would have been, "How many of yinz does it take ...?" That sounds like correct Pittsburgh-ese.
I agree it can be used in a derogatory manner, but I'm sorry, it is not loaded with the same kind of historical freight as the N word.
I thought the parade was not the best organized. What I saw on TV, most of the streets did not have any of the waist high barricades.
In 1998, and 1999, I was in "dahn tahn" Denver (cheaper and easier parking too) because I was working there, and saw those SuperBowl parades. Much more origanzied, and bigger too. Crowds were reported at 650K in 1998, and 375K
Ya, obviously.
King, you did not say the "Y" word like you said the "N" word. Heck you even call yourself it.
