I was visiting Pittsubrgh recently and had someone say to me, "I appreciate you." I thought this was an odd expression, as I have always said, "I appreciate it" when thanking someone for their help. But then I heard "I appreciate you" again.

Is this a Pittsburgh expression?

If it is a Pittsburgh expression, I haven't heard it before.

Heard this literally hundreds of times while I was living in Nashville. I think you just happened to run into a Southerner.

Yesterday I had someone ask me "Are you standing on line?" I punched him in the face.

Actually, I just said "No, I'm not."

"Needs done" is the one I hear all the time here.

East Coast: "on line" West Coast: "in line" Not sure where it changes, west of the Mississippi?
