Burkett naturally is to blame for the 9 dollars.

Here in PA, it's do me 'a solid'. But I'm sure it's different elsewhere where 'yinz' are from. There's a reason why the way that I talk is called Pittsburghese.

Jersey guy I know says do me THE solid. I guess both are acceptable.

The origin and etymology of the phrase “do me a solid” is from the popular show Seinfeld, where it was used by Kramer in the episode titled “The Jacket”. You may have also heard the term being used by Hank in the popular show “Breaking Bad”. (copied from google)


I think that this one is just behind the big Pop vs Soda debate, which if it has the same geographical fault line, is right smack dab in the middle of PA.




Are we enough off topic now to lock down this thread?

I was hoping for a POLL. See how many of us drink Coke vs Pepsi??
or much like the Mtn Dew one: Baja Blast or Pitch Black
I sure could use a cold one right now, my dog too!
