Wow you get mad easily. It was directed at me and I have no issues with the statement.This is more than a bit uncalled for.
My remark had nothing to do with you.
Your mental status may have been questioned before but that firmly puts it over the edge and gone.

It sure appeared like your angry red faced icon was in response a remark made to my quoted post and asking if I am the devil.
"Yinzer is a 20th-century term playing on the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania second-person plural vernacular "yinz." The word is used among peoples who identify themselves with the city of Pittsburgh and its traditions."
Yinzer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Pittsburgh English, popularly known by outsiders as Pittsburghese, is the traditional dialect of American English spoken by many residents of Pittsburgh and parts of surrounding Western Pennsylvania in the United States, a group referred to by locals and others as Yinzers."

Was that what you were trying to talk about?
A viewpoint held by most liberal elitists - not surprising.
Nope - just pointing out the obvious condescension displayed by the statement. If you had said something like "the silent majority will stay silent if the Republicans run another loser like McCain or boring nice guy like Romney" I would have agreed 100%. However, the labeling took it to a different level. Most people would probably agree that silent majority - AKA Middle Class - is not made up of misogynists, racists and religious bigots. They just want their personal freedoms back and are tired of liberal elitists lecturing to them about what's best for them and their children and what they must tolerate; and lastly, they want the US Govt and the jack-booted thugs from the IRS to stay out of their everyday lives.

I wasn't trying to talk about it. I was referring to something I am intimately familiar with. "Yinzer" is the vernacular, not the paragonic microcosm itself as your unsolicited Google search indicates.
A view point held by many, not just Liberal Elitists, whatever they are, and rightly so.
Condescension does not equal bigotry. Your constant and nonenlightening characterization of everything that doesn't fall in lock step with what you believe as being "Liberal Elitist" is really tired, not to mention inaccurate...
No need for feeling relief. You've been around for a long time.

Some of what you say is pretty funny stuff, but do you really think she's a woman??

Please, please keep it simple. Two sentences and 3 days to figure out what you said. lol!

So internet searches to confirm the accuracy of someone's claims should be "solicited"?? Sounds like your "intimate familiarity" might be in question since you're not even familiar with the various spellings of these colloquialisms. Give me a break.
OK - thanks for making my point.
A nonsensical response - your characterization of the middle class speaks for itself and actually reinforces my point while doing nothing to refute the accuracy of my response.
I find liberal elitists lecturing about what's best for me and what I must tolerate a whole lot easier to endure than conservative wingnuts legislating what I may do with my own body [and legislating obstacles to prevent me from obtaining such rights as they don't like] and who I may marry.
I'm part of the Silent Majority/middle class, and I am far from alone in those beliefs, so if you characterize the Silent Majority as conservative, your response is extremely inaccurate.

Kinda like liberal elitists ignoring the Constitution and taking away our human rights. Only the RIGHTS that liberals deny us ARE rights, some even enumerated in the Bill of RIGHTS.
Many of the "rights" liberals use force for, like "welfare rights", are not rights. They just make them up as they go.
If you understood the intent of the Constitution, you'd know that it was designed to change as circumstances change - it was never meant to be carved in stone and unchanged forever.
The intent of the Constitution was to limit the power of the Federal Government. There are also only TWO LEGAL ways to change it, something that the liberal elitists don't feel bound to follow. Why are they SO AFRAID to make the changes they want too legally? Maybe because they know they would lose.
Do it LEGALLY or go home. There is no "Rule of Law" otherwise.
What part of the Constitution allows the government to grant, alter or remove rights? Do you believe that is a valid government function? Not I.

Wikipedia is not exactly where one turns for"factual" information. By it's very definition, colloquialisms are just that: coloquial. A slang term doesn't necessarily have an official spelling. I'll give you the same advice AMonger gave me the other day when I started to embark on a subject I had no business commenting on: "Stick to commenting about what you know whatever that is"...
