I think Bermuda shorts on women is an awful look.

alexisanna44

I've seen a lot of people write this way, but please don't take it personally.

I hate when people leave out the words "to be". Example: "The lawn needs mowed." Is this a regional thing?

I think it's regional. It's definitely wrong, but it's how a lot of people talk in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.

I think year-round school should be the norm.

This would drive me insane if people around me spoke like this all the time. INSANE.

It's not everyone, nor is it all the time. But, if you get some real yinzers you'll hear it.

The pgh manner of speaking, in terms of accent, word choice, and laziness, is really fascinating. You get used to it.

Search YouTube for Pittsburgh Dad videos if you want to experience it.

Considering bermuda shorts look like capris on me since I'm short, they're really all I wear in the summer.

Year-round school should be mandatory!

I drop to be more often than id like to admit.

I hate that if you try to find shorts that are long enough in the women's section then the waist goes up to your boobs.  If you try to find them in the juniors section then they show your crotch on the top and bottom.  So bermudas are a compromise.

Group texts are annoying.

But you can remove yourself from a group FB message. You can't do that with a group text.

I think if it's with a small group of people and it's relevant to an event that you're all attending, it works (they are frequently used between my parents, my sister, and I for planning purposes).

If you use it to mass talk to people (more than three), that's so confusing.

Bermuda shorts make me look round. I hate them!

UO: MTV's "Real Life" shows are so dumb, they should not be aired for any reason.

That's just weird. I've heard "the lawn needs mowing" but never with words left out. I'm guessing it's a regional thing.Or, if it is common everywhere, I guess all the people I know just aren't annoying

The Grilled Cheese thread made me think of this...I don't like tomato soup. Homemade, from a can, whatever. I'll pass on the tomato soup.

Newp. Kids and teachers are already put through too much stress in present day school situations.

Must be regional; I have never heard it.

Group texts are way more annoying than group FB messages. I end up getting single text responses from numbers of people I have no idea about. Bermuda shorts are hideous most of the time. I'm not for wearing Daisy Dukes, but I like a nice 3" inseam and no more! Maybe that's because I'm on the shorter side.

When I lived in STL, it drove me crazy. Especially because they would drop words, and add letters: 'the car needs warshed.'

Confession: I say warshed. I've just always said it, and I don't have a southern accent.

I say warsh cloth sometimes. I don't mean to say it but it just slips out occassionally. My mom always said it and I guess it just rubbed off on me. DH loves to tease me every time I say it.
