Yous guys is more of a Philly, Southeastern PA expression. Yinz is for Western PA and Pittsburgh.

True, but that having been said, there's no definitive spelling, it being a verbal expression. So "yins" should also be accepted.

Yins will work now. Youse is incorrect.

I made the same attempts that buck did, but I think that's more of a New Jersey thing.

as someone who grew up near Pittsburgh, it is definitely "yinz" or "yins", and never "youse".

actually, Pittsburghers are colloquially known as "Yinzers" in PA and in the region.

As a native Philadelphian, I have never heard anybody say Youse, although I know it isn't as common as it used to be.
And twendesasa, I have never heard people referred to as Yinzers.

It’s good to hear that Philadelphia may have cleaned up its grammar in the intervening decades since I grew up there, but “youse/youze” was absolutely the ONLY way to say the plural “you”. It was a staple of the regional speech.

Yins, yinz, yunz, you'uns, or youns should all be considered correct. All are listed in the Wikipedia article on Pittsburgh English.

Panhaas or panhaw should be accepted for the pork scrap question - it's what the makers call it.

Totally thrown off by the clue calling scrapple "meatloaf-like!" Dogfood-like, maybe...

I always enjoy going back and finding my comments from previous times I took each quiz. I may have been a little too hard on our local "everything but the oink" pig product. I know many of my fellow mid-Atlantic brethren love it. But, I still think meatloaf-like isn't really accurate - it always seemed more like sausage (bad sausage) than meatloaf to me.

All of you people who don't live in the mid-atlantic region of the United States are missing out on what scrapple tastes like. Awesome! I live in Delaware by the way :)

Scrapple has made it's way out of the Mid-Atlantic states.It is in Kentucky and probably Ohio also. Possibly thanks to the large and growing Amish and Mennonite populations.

Scrapple sounds (and tastes) as what it should be: scrapped.

Gee, nothing about TMI? (That's Three Mile Island, not too much information.)

Yeah, definitely surprised to see no mention of that. That was a pretty significant PA-specific thing.
