It has a certain charm I have to admit but may also come across as slightly "hey look at me".

What say yinz?

No worse than the redneck locals who say, "Bet'n Rewj" with a rock hard J sound.

Should be Bat’n Roodg

The J sound can’t be too hard nor the oooo sound too long or too short.

The only people I’ve ever heard pronounce it “Bah-TAWN Rooge” are ESPN announcers

If you don’t say it like Boosie says it, you’re saying it wrong.

So good. I was in Pittsburgh last year for New Years and got absolutely shite faced on IC lights while eating at the original Primanti bros. One of the better times I’ve had in a while.
