I've got cousins around Pittsburgh.

They've got spigots ("spickets") inside their house, where my house has faucets. Our spigots are just for hoses outside.

I'm still always surprised when a spigot is new and shiny. I picture something old fashioned when I hear "bathroom spigot."

My family has spigots, too. Some of them also have Pittsburgh toilets, aka commode.

I believe the definition of a Pittsburgh toilet is one in the basement near the plumbing line, walls optional.

This is all countryside shit, people actually in Pittsburgh don't talk like that.

Even if people in Pittsburgh talk that different from the country (which having lived there, I'd argue there isn't much difference), my point is that there is a some distinct differences between west vs east dialects.
