My dad's family is from Holsopple near Boswell and Jerome between Johnstown and Somerset. He and both of brothers moved out to Wyoming in the late 60's. I then grew up hearing the accents and eating gobs. Red the table, a rift is apparently a belch. Youze or Youins. I have always thought everyone there says questions kind of different, with a higher pitch at the end of the question or something.

My uncle was buddies with Jeff Hostetler's (the NFL quarterback that won the superbowl with the Giants.) younger brother. They lived in Holsopple.

My cousin that lives back there refers to underwear Guccis sp? (sounds like Goocheese).

My dad and uncles have lost most of the accent but dippy eggs and other strange names still work their way into conversations. Everyone is Stiller fans.
