What kind of slang do you use?

[DemPGH]

More informal words than slang, and I think there is a difference.

I say "cops" instead of "police," but never something like "cup of joe" for "cup of coffee." I will always say "cup of coffee."

I never adopted any of the weird "Pittsburghisms," like finishing a sentence with "an' 'at," like, "I stopped at the grocery store this morning, ran some errands, got a coffee, 'n' 'at." I don't do that. I think when you're around formal speech and writing a lot, it tends to kill off that sort of thing pretty fast. And of course it's not "Steelers," it's "Stillers" or even "Sti'wers," and I don't say that either.
