My Polish cousin married an Irish woman.
He says his kids are too dumb to know what they're fighting about. <|:)~

what do yunz jagoffs know from galumpkies?C'mon now. There's no need to call nobody a jagoff.
All us dumb pollocks knows that galumphkie is spelled exackly da same way it's pernounced: galumphkie: G-O-L-A-B-K-I... galumphkie...
Jest sound it out... it's easy...
To: Willie Green; martin_fierro
and you know dang well that jagoff is a term of endearment amongst Picksburghers, willie! so how do you spell those christmas cookies which are deep-fried dough, turned inside out, pigs ears, sprinkled with powdered sugar, eh?

in searching for a decent pic of a pierogi to offset Martin's galumpky, i came across this
article. Have either of you ever read the book
Out of this Furnace? i highly recommend it to Pittsburghers and former Pittsburghers alike.

It don't come easy. I went to parochial school.
To: xsmommy
I am exactly 0% Polish, but was surrounded by so many while growing up that I was awarded an Honorary Membership Card (or "Honrary Membrship Kard" as it's spelled thereon).
To: martin_fierro
honrary is good enough~!

Then you know we got smacked if our Pittsburghese got too bad.
It was a rather harsh way to become bilingual, but at least people from other states can understand me.
