Hey, JJ!

You're DY-NO-MITE!! ;o)

Btw, "redd up" means to clean up; tidy up {I'm guessing it's from "get ready" [for visitors]. It is said to be "Pittsburghese" {wors and phrases used in the Greater Pittsburgh region; While I know what it means, I have never used it, and I have never heard anybody use it {which doesn't necessarily mean that it's more likely to be used by certain races/ethnicities more than others. But it does make me wonder if that's the case.

For instance, the word "yunz" is supposed to be pure delux Pittsburguese, in my experience, Black Pittsburghers appear to most often use "ya'll {sp?} than "younz" in our informal conversations, or when we are purposely speaking or writing in "Ebonese" as I did in my 18 Aug 07 - 12:26 AM post to this thread.

And that's just one example of possible racial/ethnic differences in colloquial expressions in this Heinz 57 region.
