When You're Wearing the Black and Gold, You're Always Prepared

When you are born in Pittsburgh, there are certain things that are just flat-out required of you.

You must learn to understand the language. "Yinz" and "slippy" and "gumbands" are part of the lexicon. Know it. Own it. Be it.

You must admire the power of the zip-up sweater as you proclaim, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!" at least once per year. No, once per month. WAIT! WEEK! Once per WEEK!

And you absolutely, positively must bleed black and gold. It says so right on your birth certificate. "Born in Pittsburgh, PA" is Yinz for "Born to be a Steelers fan," after all.
