The Fight to Bring Pittsburghese to Merriam-Webster
Some jagoffs are trying to get Pittsburgh's go-to insult into a real English-language dictionary.
Sitting next to a guy vaping away at a Stillers game? Like any self-respecting Yinzer, you'd probably put down your chip-chop ham sandwich and call him a jagoff.
