Pennsyltucky

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pennsyltucky is a slang word used by Pennsylvania residents to refer to the rural part of the state outside the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia metropolitan areas, more specifically applied to the mountainous central region. At times the term is used to describe all of Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia. The word is a portmanteau constructed from "Pennsylvania" and "Kentucky", implying a similarity between the rural parts of the two states. It can be used in either a pejorative or an affectionate sense.
