  Ha! As someone who grew up half an hour _outside_ the city, it's been interesting to see which chunks of Pittsburghese I picked up, and which ones I didn't. Some if it is also age: my grandfather speaks with a more significant amount of it than I do, even though his home was half a mile from my childhood one.

    I spend a lot of time with my wife's older relatives, and I have picked up quite a bit of it. The most confusing to me is the positive usage of the word 'anymore', e.g., "It seems I always wear these shoes anymore."
