This is what I was going to say too. If she is from Eastern Ohio, I guarantee you she said far.

yinz west coasters need ta learn how people speak round here.

I'm a born and bread Ohioan living in Pittsburgh right now for college. I am so friggin' sick of Pittsburghese. I feel as though I'm going to explode if I hear one more person say "iggle" or "yinz". Even "y'all" is better than "yinz".

ZV, as someone who has lived in PA his whole life, I understand. The only time I use these words is when threads like this come up. 😛

The one that kills me is warsh. Put the clothes in the warshing machine. I'm going to warsh the car. Did you warsh that apple off? Ughhh. :disgust:

haha warsh is a good word. i dont think my accent is that heavy but i pick it up when others say it. Iggle is a great word, and so is yinz.

Does it count if I was born in Ohio, and my parents were born and raised there? 😕

Having lived in Memphis 90% of my life, I have been poisioned by the pronunciation"far" 🙁

I'm from Boston, and I pronounce it "fiyah" 🙂

I grew up in eastern Ohio (East Liverpool) and never used any of those words. I heard them alot when I was growing up but couldn't bring myself to say "iggle", "yinz", "warsh", etc... 😀

The problem with "yinz" is that it's a contraction of a phrase that is just plain stupid! At least "y'a'll" is from "you all" which is gramatically correct. "Yinz", on the other hand is from "you ones" which is just plain bad. 😛
