And, yeah, western PA has its own unique accent and even its own weird words like "yinz".
Yenz is "you" plural, poke & sack for a bag, tennis shoes for sneakers, buggy for shopping cart, and pop for soda. And then they use diphthongs from out of nowhere for words you would never expect in a million years could have them like [bah ox] for box, [daw aug] for dog.
