I hear, but have not been, that if you go to Pittsburgh or Philly to this day you will see a bunch of Everlast looking mofo's complete with that lame chin strap beard and philly hats and dickies and the same "I'm from Philly wanna make something of it" attitude you saw on tv in the 80's, it's like the NE Coasts version of Utah, no one on the outside wants to go in and no one on the end side thinks theres anywhere better. I'm not dissing never been there to witness it myself.

Not a pun per se but a tale from past times. Names may have been changed ...
New guy asks someone "where's the library at?"
The upperclassman, using his nose like a front sight, enunciates "At Princeton we do not end a sentence with a preposition."
New guy grins and replies "Cool. Where's the library at, Asshole?"

It did the same to me. I grew up in new england and moved south when I was 8. It put me right in the middle with VA/ chesepeake area. I hated the word y'all but I had to adapt to it because no one knew what yooz geyez meant.

Two girls, one from Georgia, one from Connecticut, are going to be roommates in college in Virginia.
On move-in day, they are unpacking and settling in, when the southern belle asks "So where y'all from?"
The northern girl replies with a huff: "Well! I'm from Connecticut, where they teach us not to end a sentence with a preposition!"
The Georgian girl responds: "Oh, I apologize! Where y'all from, cunt?"

The thing i remember about the Mid-Lannic is how the word for sub sandwich varied sensitively across small distances. Hoagie, hero, grinder etc.
It made me ponder the nature of language and reminded me of the best joke ever when i was, like, ten.
An Englishman is conversing with his friends at lunch and holding up a utensil.
"The French", he declaimed, "call this article un couteau. The Germans say it is ein Messer. We English call it a knife ... which, when all is said and done, is exactly what it is."
