For jeffrefrig and other denizens of Pittsburgh

[swsig]

This discussion reminds me of a story my parents used to tell about a vacation trip they made in 1940. They were driving from Chicago to the Smoky Mountains, and while in Gatlinburg (no "h"!), they talked with some local children. The kids asked them, "Are you'uns what we'uns call furriners?" Of course, being in the South, they dragged out the pronunciation of "you'uns", but the word is used beyond Pittsburgh.

Now I'm wondering if there is a Pittsburgh version of "we'uns". "Winz", perhaps?

...ow I'm wondering if there is a Pittsburgh version of "we'uns". "Winz", perhaps?

If so, would that make the Pittsburgh Bruins into the "Brinz"? (Asking as a furriner.)
