trash-can.jpgMy newest staffer, Matt, moved up here from Baltimore this year ... so he finds Yorkisms all the time.

So many of them go right past me - they're just the way I've always said things, so I don't even notice.

But the one he pointed out to me recently was to "pitch" something instead of throwing it away. "I keep thinking, is there a batter somewhere?" he said.

Commenter Joe also wrote in recently about two other Yorkisms - referring to a place by what used to be there, and finishing sentences with "then."

Wonder what I have to say on those topics? Check out these previous posts:

My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!
