sscrunner06 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Diamondhead, Mississippi: The logo is supposed to represent the Diamond Head volcano in Hawaii, which is what the community is named after. The logo has remained pretty much the same since Diamondhead was formed in the '70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 (Can someone PLEASE tell me where THAT word--YNZ--came from? Good LAWD it's annoying!!!) Yinz is a second-person plural used almost exclusively in Pittsburgh and the surrounding region in the Western Pennsylvania of the United States. It was derived from the Scottish term "you ones". It may also be referred to or spelled as "yunz", "you'uns" or "ynz". It is part of a local dialect referred to as Pittsburgh English or "Pittsburghese".Yinz is synonymous with "you all" or "y'all" in the Southern United States. Like "y'all", yinz's place as Pittsburgh's most famous regionalism makes it both a badge of pride and a way to show self-deprecation. For example, a group of Pittsburgh area political cheerleaders call themselves "Yinz Cheer" and an area literary magazine is The New Yinzer, a take-off of The New Yorker. The traditional blue collar Pittsburgher is often referred to as a "Yinzer". Although it is considered by many native Pittsburghers to be a mild pejorative, like calling someone a hick, or a rube.

Guess that explains it......hearing that still irks the hell outta me, though. But I guess that's no different than half the words that come out of mouth either totally confusing or irking the folks up here in Picksburgh. Ah well...pensacola has a very classy logo, if i were to ever visit, i would take pictures of myself infront of it. LOL If you were to ever to go to Pensacola, you'd do just like everyone else who goes there and make a b-line STRAIGHT TO THE BEACHES. Just make sure ain't no hurricane coming when/if you do go down there. Oh--and take a sec and stop by the museaum of Naval Aviation if you get a chance, not to mention Fort Barrancas (one of the nation's oldest surviving forts), as well as Joe Patti Seafood, if you like seafood. Best, freshest, biggest variety of seafood you'll find ANYWHERE. Damn near anything you can think of you'll find in there. And it's about five minutes from the 3-mile bridge that leads to those beach islands. Check it out! *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
