Subject: RE: BS: Can you British catters help me?
"from by car" that's a new form of Pittsburghese just like "yuntz" or 'yintz' [instead of however that contraction of "you all" is written. Actually, I think "yuntz" and "yintz" are really only White Pittsburghese] and "nebby" [which I believe is used by both Black Pittsburghers and White Pittsburghers].

"Nebby" means "nosy" {overly curious about something that's not your bizness}.

And though it aint no biggy {biggy=big deal. This is a hip-hop saying and not a Pittsburghese [meaning a saying originating in Pittsburgh or closely associated with Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]}, I'll confess that when I wrote 'from by the car' in my last post, that was a typo. I made it because I was rushing to post those posts so I could leave post haste to get to work.

That's my excuse this time. If I use this excuse at 11:30PM Eastern Standard Time {the time Mudcat uses}, you'll know I'm "telling a story" {meaning "lying"}. But if I lie about something that's not "heavy duty" {meaning "a big deal"}, please "play pass" it {meaning "ignore it"}.

Thank you.

Best wishes!
