it’s a ‘burgh thing. . .

happy holidays! ‘he knows if yinz been nebby’ if you’re not from pittsburgh, you are probably wondering what nebby has to do with anything. it’s often overheard and basically means, you’re all up in someone’s business and you should probably just mind your own ;) i love the steel city! x

    There are a lot of people that I know who should just mind their own business instead of constantly gossiping about someone else. I honestly think people do this because they’ve encountered the same situation or similar and they don’t want to face their own problems. They think that talking about other people’s mistakes makes their mistakes better, it doesn’t.

    I hope you enjoy your Christmas ♥

    Ha! Definitely I wouldn’t know it either. In fact so many American slangs / expressions that I don’t know! Happy Holidays to you too! Enjoy <3

      the slang here is really funny actually! i love watching people’s faces when someone says something unique to this area.

    I wouldn’t know it either. But then again I think I live under a rock some of the time.

    Happy Holidays my friend! I hope you have a great Christmas.
