The other day Lord Kadizzle had occasion to talk with someone on the
phone from the Pittsburgh area. Kadizzle had no idea that is where the
man was from. Kadizzle enjoys accents and studying them on an amateur
basis.
After speaking to the man for awhile Kadizzle
asked him where he was from. The man gave several places. Kadizzle
remarked to the man that he had a strange accent. The man said I am a
Yinser. Very few people would know what a Yinser is, but Kadizzle
knew. Yinser's are only found around Pittsburgh. In fact Yinser's only
exist in a small area east of Pittsburgh.
Now what in
the hell is a Yinser? A Yinser would say to you if you were walking
down the street " Where are yins going, or they might say what are yins
doing. Curious, Kadizzle asked the Yinser if he knew where Yinser's
came from. All he said was that they originally came from Canada.
Years
ago Kadizzle worked with a Yinser at the Glenharold Mine in Stanton,
North Dakota. It has been a long time since Kadizzle has heard the rare
Yinser.
One strange quality Yinser's have is
politeness. It had never occurred to Kadizzle about this aspect of
Yinser's until the conversation a couple of days ago. During the
conversation Kadizzle mentioned to the guy that Yinser's were always
very polite. The Yinser gave a good explanation. The Yinser explained
that where Yinser's were common the people were very intolerant. You
could very easily get the hell beat out of you by being disrespectful or
rude. The net result was Yinser's grew up with good manners.
