The other weird thing about Pittsburghese is some of the backwards sentence structure. Particularly true in local government, i.e.;

County of Allegheny
County of Allegheny Bureau of Police
City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire
etc.

Both the word bureau and the sentence structure are pulled straight from French. And we gave them the heave-ho 260 years ago!
