S. 1, Ep. 2 of “How Cities Talk”This week is:Pittsburgh’s “nebby” vs the Minnesota Nice phrase “that’s… interesting.”Two ways of saying the same thing…just very differently.In Pittsburgh, if you’re being too nosy, too involved, too in someone else’s business -you’re nebby.Simple. Direct. No confusion.In Minnesota, you’ll hear something like:“that’s… interesting.”And it might sound polite, but it can mean:* I disagree* I don’t like this* please stop talkingSame situation… just delivered differently.Dialect and the unique story it tells is very intersting to me and I hope you continue to enjoy this series and I continue to build it out and go on another journey with you.
