“YINZ?? What is “YINZ”? “

Here in the WNC mountains, it would be “yu’uns”.

It’s Pitt-speak for Philly’s/NYC’s “Youse”.

I just now googled it and it is a Western Pennsyltucky slang word for for "you."

(in western Pennsylvania) you (used to refer to more than one person).

"how yinz guys doing?"

And some people make fun of our Southern slang.

“Yinz” is Pittsburgh’s version of Philly’s “yous”.
