[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It's not something I lose sleep over. I'm curious. Deal. I had no idea that this is a common term in the Pittsburgh area. [/quote] Yep. For ex.: where is mum? I need to tell she that I am taking yinz down to the cellar. Definitely not an attempt at being cosmopolitan or trendy[/quote] I'm from Western PA, and even though some Pittsburghers with heavy accents pronounce it "Mum" I don't think they would spell it "Mum." It would just be the way they say it, but would spell it "Mom." [/quote]
