A few weeks ago I heard a funny name about what they call Central pa. It had like a hick kinda name. Like an amalgamation of a few locations. I can't even give any other clues, I'm at a totally loss and it's bothering me.
Thank you!! It was driving me nuts!
Lol my sister uses this to describe where we’re from every time someone asks.

Yep but It’s not just central PA. Also other areas.
It’s anywhere that isn’t southeast PA according to this former southeast PA resident. Plus I went to school for geography in Pennsyltucky. It’s totally a legit academic term…
Hey now. As a resident of Northern Allegheny County, we reject the spillover from our borders in every direction. My local Wal-Mart gets raided regularly from the degens from upcountry (Butler County). We hate that shit as much as anyone and I will fight until my last breath to keep Pennsyltucky out of the Greater Pittsburgh area.
Pitter patter good buddy.
I fucking hate degens from upcountry.
Yeah good luck with that. Too much “new poor” around where I am from at least.
Give that man a puppers.
Nah, it’s anywhere PA that’s outside of the Greater Pittsburgh and Greater Philadelphia areas
I’d add the Allentown/LV area to this. Lived there for years and it’s definitely not pennsyltucky until you reach leonhardstville area, which personally I don’t even consider the LV
Now I live in Hamburg area and that is most certainly Pennsyltucky, but I’m a simple kinda family man and I love it
Just so you both know, per southeast PA, you’re both in Pennsyltucky 😜
Thought you might have meant Intercourse, Bird In Hand and Blue Balls. Pennsyltucky is everywhere except PHL and P-Burg.
Hey!! Not ALL of it is Pennsyltucky.
Agreed, kinda making fun of my home state. I'm up in the Poconos and you can go from cool little cities to rural in minutes. Different cultures for sure, but all good especially the scenery.
I’m in that general area and it’s funny/weird. One minute you’re in downtown Scranton and bam 15 minutes later you’re in Newton-Ransom. Or you’re chilling at the Crossings and boom, now you’re in Gouldsboro
Yea Funny. W-B native here but live near Brodheadsville/Stroudsburg/Tannersville. You have to go through nowhere to get somewhere around here, lol.
Hello from Malacaris!!
Lancaster County & Southern Chester County are definitely not Pennsyltuckey. Rural agriculture, Pennsylvania Dutch and many Amish folks as well as the horse operations are keeping the developers at bay. Lots of small vegetable and grass fed beef operations. Many former dairy operators are in the hog business now. Folks down here may speak a little differently but they have to be pretty smart to survive in today’s AG economy.
You were looking for pensyltucky but i prefer BumbleFuckNowhere, PA.
So York?
Pennsyktucky seems to be what you were looking for based on your replies to comments.
However, I also like "PA is Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama in between"
Pennsyltucky
Thank you!! It was driving me nuts!
I call it "State College".

I despise the term pennsyltucky
I had a PoliSci prof at PSU back in ‘99 open the semester of a class of mostly freshmen this way, “Welcome to Central Pennsylvania. For those of you not from Pennsylvania, let me explain that Pennsylvania is Philadelphia on one end, Pittsburgh on the other, and Alabama in between.”
Ahh good ole pennsyltucky.
How about Lackawanna?
That's an indigenous word from the Lenni Lenape people. It means "stream that forks".
That's what she said!
Someone called it "Pennsylmania," which is pretty fitting as well.
