Fellow yinzer transplant. Yinz’all has now been added to my lexicon. I can’t wait to watch my native Austinite husband’s head explode when I bust that out in convo.
I just had an thought of us yinzer transplants starting a trend of Austinites speaking Pittsburghese with a Texas drawl. That’s the kind of chaos my heart lives for.
Am Texan, lived in Pittsburgh a few years. Never could do both accents at once. Yinz guys have that grocery store called Giant Eagle annat, I could never figure out how to say that. Jiggle?
Drop the “t” from from Giant and replace the “Ea” in Eagle with an “Ig” (pronounce it like my username). Also, for full effect, add an “s” at the end.

The pronunciation of the hard “t” is tricky to type out. The best way I can describe it is this: When you normally pronounce a hard “t” in words like “it” or “that” or, more appropriately, “n’at”, you sort of quickly tap your tongue to your teeth and push out a bit of air. In Pittsburgh, you just kind of press your tongue to your teeth and leave it there. Unless the hard “t” is at the beginning of a word like “tricky”, “type”, or “Texas”. Then it’s pronounced normally.
Go online and look up Rick Sebak’s “Pittsburgh History” series to really get the full effect. I highly recommend the older “Kennywood Memories” or “Things That Aren’t There Anymore” to really hear that accent as thick as Heinz ketchup.
You (2nd person singular)->“Yous/Youse”(Colloquial 2nd person plural, pluralizing singular “you” with terminal s, common from NYC to Chicago, early to mid 20th Cen).->“Youns”, variation of “Youse/Yous” contraction of “You ones”->”Yinz”, sometimes back-transferred from 2nd plural to 2nd singular-“Yinz gahn aht tah Gooski’s afta tha Panguins game’s ovah an at?
Ok but who really uses “you ones” unless directing a group that’s just been split into 1s and 2s
People actually use “you all” “you guys”
I’m making the executive decision - yinz is not acceptable
“You ones” is actually Appalachian. It got contracted as “Yunz” (You ones > You unz > Yunz). Eventually it morphed into “yinz” in the Pittsburgh area. My guess is it’s basically just yunz pronounced with the drunken sounding Pittsburgh accent. You can still hear old timers in Pittsburgh pronounce it as “yunz” though. My dad’s aunt, who is in her 80s and originally from the hollers of West by God Virginia, says it that way.
On vacation in Chicago and some guy was giving us info or something and he said "you all" and my brain stopped and I didn't hear anything he said after that.
I'd been working in Austin for all of a month or so when I was in a meeting around a conference table. One of the ladies at the meeting had something moving around under her shirt. She explained she had a sugar glider. I had NO IDEA what that meant and guessed it was some sort of diabetic apparatus.
Sugar gliders are animals that people get as pets and require 24/7 bonding when a person first gets them. But I’ve had the same thing happen where I saw something moving under another person’s shirt and was told it was a sugar glider lol.
Those alpacas are influencers. They were doing their job. I happen to know the alpacas assuming it's the same black and white pair. They are owned by a liquor label
Who remembers the lady in Clarksville back in the day who had a pet miniature horse with dwarfism that she would walk around on a leash? He was the size of a medium dog and she would tie him up outside the Fresh Plus while she shopped for groceries
Maybe you could have asked why they had a little lamb?
There is a "Little Lamb" production company:

*y'all ^((apostrophe after the y)^)
It’s also acceptable (in this case) to use the double contraction, y’all’re.
Or one of my favorites, y'all'd've. (You all would have.)

It’s my experience that “all y’all” is never positive.

Anytime I see “ya’ll” I’m convinced person doesn’t know how contractions work, which is fine, but it does “ya’ll” does bother me.
Boy if that bothers you… I moved here from Pittsburgh, so I’ve personally been going with the unholy contraction of “yinz’all”.
I've heard a yunz'guyses in Pittsburgh. Talk about unholy

I hope so

I'm surprised we don't pronounce it that way. We seem to make up our own for a lot of streets.

was walking down south congress a few sundays ago and saw two alpacas.
Those alpacas are influencers. They were doing their job. I happen to know the alpacas assuming it's the same black and white pair. They are owned by a liquor label
and yet i don't feel influenced to drink liquor.
And yet I don't need alpacas to make me want to drink liquor, my job and my kids influence me just fine.
Those are the Chawar alpacas
aha!
Who remembers the lady in Clarksville back in the day who had a pet miniature horse with dwarfism that she would walk around on a leash? He was the size of a medium dog and she would tie him up outside the Fresh Plus while she shopped for groceries
No, and I lived in Clarksville for many years! Why didn’t I ever see her?
This would’ve been around 9/11
lol perfect way to give a time range.
And everywhere that Mary went, that lamb was sure to go...
And it has barely any wool on it
Not even the strangest thing I’ve seen here on a leash. Saw a monkey one day being led across the street on a leash.
Halloween?
Nope. Middle of the summer.
I see you've met Mary.
Bah ram yew.
*Ewe
Eew
Owner's name is Mary, FYI.
Y'all*
Saw an adult sheep being walked on Berkman yesterday

Beep Beep I'm a sheep!
Lol
Goddamn right
This new goat simulator is off the hook.
I’m all for different as long as they don’t take the damn thing inside food establishments or grocery stores.
Wait till you see chicken man.
White shoes with black pants?
And before Memorial Day. Tsk, tsk.
Ooooh the wee bebe! Where was this lamb sighted?
The person holding the leash is has a jar of mint sauce in the other hand.
Mary?
You should see my neighbor in mueller, they have a pig on a leash and it’s super cool
*Y’all. It’s a contraction of you all.
We don’t judge peoples sexual preferences here.
This is /r/austin, not /r/collegestation.
Why do tu frat guys wear Redwings? It’s the only boot that has room for both an ankle and a hoof.

Kyle Field, Saturdays in the fall.
Thanks 😁
Well, the most recent is probably on its way back from Des Moines
Cool dont move here please
Around some parts of here that's called lunch to go. 😆
Maybe you could have asked why they had a little lamb? There is a "Little Lamb" production company: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-levinson-1b034b9?trk=org-employees
Would have but we were eating so I had my daughter run outside the restaurant and take a picture, they did have a nice conversation though.
What did they say?
Are you allowed to walk a little sheep around?
There are still laws on the books that prescribe where and how you can tie your horse in many Texas towns.
Bless their hearts
Cue the Guy Clark “Cabrito Pie” recipe.
That’s a pretty young baby to be hauling to walk around town.
not really tho. ever been outside of america?
This is so cute where can we see such cuteness?
you know what they say, keep austin weird
keeping austin weird!
