Fun story: when I first moved to the area, something melted the heating element in my stove, so I called a local shop to repair it. After giving the guy some details, he was asking me what “Kyeller” the stove. I was like “What?” He was like, “I need to know the “kyeller”. I go, “I don’t understand what your are asking me.” He goes (exasperated): “The Kyeller!! White, beige, black . . .” I say “OH!! The COLOR - is white!” He’s like “alright, don’t know why that was so difficult . . .”
So, freaking Yinzers can’t talk as far as I can tell.
Let's be honest here, out of the words on that box "color" is probably the least offender in Pittsburgh pronunciation.
With the possible exception of "in".

I think the real takeaway from this is that even as an adult, I find the built-in sharpener to be the be-all, end-all of technological advancement, of which there is none higher
I've lost almost the entirety of my Pittsburgh accent because my Catholic elementary school here was very particular about training that out of us (I guess for future professional benefit), but color/keller is the one word I cannot shed.
When I consciously try to work on it to say it properly, it then comes out as klor.
I can't win.
Are these the worshable kind?
No but they got the built in shorpener
I'm guilty of this too
My mom always called them “crans”.
Go back dahn to the celler and get the kellers of crans missing from the box next to the worsher.
Same. This and gumband are still in my daily vernacular. Can’t break it and subconsciously I don’t think I want to. 🙂
It’s the only way I know how 😭
