It\u2019s a still mill. At least, that\u2019s how they pronounce it. So, that should explain why all Pittsburghers call their beloved NFL team \u201cthe Pittsburgh Stillers\u201d.<br \/>\nAnd if you\u2019re in Pittsburgh, you better get used to some serious Stillers obsession. The team has won more Super Bowls and more AFC Championships than any other football team.<\/p>\n<h2>4.

The  Only Beer Worth Drinking is \u201cAhrn\u201d (Iron) City<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2015\/02\/pittsburgh-explain\/pittse-7.jpg\" alt=\"26 Things People From Pittsburgh Have To Explain To Out-Of-Towners\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Facebook user Irony City Beer<\/div>\n<p>In Pittsburgh, you should be drinking \u201cAhrn City\u201d (how you pronounce \u201cIron\u201d in Pittsburghese) or nothing at all. Irony City Brewery began in Pittsburgh and, even though it has relocated, it\u2019s still the defining beer of a city where everyone is all about their \u201cahrn\u201d and \u201cstill\u201d (iron and steel\u2026)<\/p>\n<h2>8. It\u2019s Called The City Of Bridges For A Reason<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2015\/02\/pittsburgh-explain\/pittse-8.jpg\" alt=\"26 Things People From Pittsburgh Have To Explain To Out-Of-Towners\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Facebook User Visit Pittsburgh<\/div>\n<p>In case you didn\u2019t know this already, there\u2019s a reason Pittsburgh is known as the city of bridges. It is home to about 450 bridges.<br \/>\nAnd part of getting to know this city is getting to know which bridge to take, and when to take them, so that you can avoid Pittsburgh traffic (which can be a nightmare). You know what isn\u2019t a nightmare? The beautiful Pittsburgh cityscape. The bridges definitely make for a gorgeous view.<\/p>\n<h2>9. But If You Want to See The Best View Of Downtown, Head To The Ft. Pitt Bridge<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2015\/02\/pittsburgh-explain\/pittse-9.jpg\" alt=\"26 Things People From Pittsburgh Have To Explain To Out-Of-Towners\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia user Cacophony<\/div>\n<p>Nightmarish traffic aside, the view from the Ft. Pitt Bridge is by far the best view of \u201cdahntown\u201d (AKA Downtown). So be sure to drive over this iconic bridge at least once, even if it means taking the wrong exit, like, 5 times.<\/p>\n<h2>10. If You Need Directions, You Better Know Some Places That Used To Be There<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2015\/02\/pittsburgh-explain\/pittse-10.jpg\" alt=\"26 Things People From Pittsburgh Have To Explain To Out-Of-Towners\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: getfitpgh.com<\/div>\n<p>People in Pittsburgh don&#8217;t give directions by using street names. They pretty much require that you know where things \u201cused to be.\u201d<br \/>\nFor example, a Pittsburgher might say to you, \u201cTake a right by where the old Gulf station used to be\u201d. Which, if you\u2019re an out-of-towner, means pretty much next to nothing to you.<br \/>\nNote: this does not matter to a Pittsburgher. This is the only way they know how to give directions. So accept that you will be eternally lost in this city unless you learn to time travel.<\/p>\n<h2>11.
