I’m a transplant and I say it bc I think it’s oddly charming.

Wait, there are still Hoss'?

Don't tell them what's going to happen...

Please for the love of God resist the urge. I had a family dinner there that I really didn’t want to go to because my previous experience was bad, but I figured I’d try to give it a chance. I was expecting a bad meal and even then I was let down. Extremely bland everything. Nothing much redeeming. Save the trouble and the the trip!

my german wife and I were driving through butler pre-pandemic and turned on the local radio station- it was a guy promoting his restaurant inside of that dying mall for a the full hour, talking about how he didn't care if he was basically the last business open there, he wasn't gonna quit

So what’s it mean? I’m 25 never heard it lol

I don't know about Georgia, but certainly not in Pennsylvania (nor Allegheny county).

Butler is about that far behind current time so that makes sense.

That's the closest address to the location but they found her on the right bank of the Ohio, kinda across from Davis island I think.

Right around your age and I definitely grew up with the phrase and still hear people use it fairly often, but I suspect things may be different for gen Z.

I said this to my out of state in-laws about 10-15 years ago and they still say it in Tennessee. I love the out of context usage. 😂

Man I must have it lucky. My power didn’t even so much as flicker throughout the entire storm. I’m relatively far south of the city proper though.

I’m 19, lived here the last 10 years, I don’t think I’ve heard this one! What’s the context/meaning?

18 year old and I say it

I picked that up while living and going to college in the burgh.

Sadly, after finishing school I moved back to Youngstown, but the phrase stuck with me. Almost no one up here has any idea wtf I'm talking about when I say it. So I guess slowly but surely I'm spreading it northward.

Anyone else not from Pittsburgh have a really hard time shopping here?

I can’t find anything. like why is there a whole isle of just pasta and only one isle labeled ethnic that includes tomato sauce and hoi sin. Absolutely nonsense layout dissimilar to every other store in the country.

Holy moly there are still Ponderosas?? Thought they all closed down 20+ years ago

What

I still say it.

I’ve lived in southwestern Pennsylvania my whole life, Scott Township/Wash,PA/Swissvale, and I’ve always known what it means. Of course I’m 66, old enough to be yinz mom or grandma!
