When referring to something very heavy...
"Careful boy, that thing's got a lot of gravity in it!"

And when referring to poor, rocky ground. My Dad would say...
"The only thing that land is good for is to stop a hole in the ground."

And often heard from a former male co-worker...
"That beats anything I ever pulled my skirt up to"



Collecting dust.

Madder than a wet hen.

Nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Couple have already mentioned our ubiquitous New England "wicked".

"Whereabouts are you?" for FTF deals is another.

A few others...

"Can't find his ass with both hands."

Referring to someone's intelligence; "softer than a sneaker full of shit."

When someone is being stubborn/mulish/cognitively impaired; "you're being thick."

And from my father, who is a living example of the breed...

"You can always tell an Englishman, but you can't tell him much."



"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

Drunker than a hundred Indians.

Shaking like a dog shittin' peach stones.

Sweating like a whore in church.

Yinz.

Plural for a group. Are "yinz" going to church? Are "yinz" going to the game?

Pittsburghese...

Uff Da is the typical spelling. It's probably Scandinavian in origin, but I don't think it is a real word in any language.

It's usually a response to someone who has just told you about a nasty predicament which may or may not involve the speaker or listener directly(but often does). It is a socially acceptable way for everyone from ladies in the church basement to the town mayor to say: "How in the flyin' fuck do you expect to fix that?" The meaning is understood and no one is offended.
