Pittsburgh word of the day: broughten

broughten |brôtn|

past participle of bring, usually used with neg. I hadn’t broughten em progies to da Stiller party.

See also: brought

This one was hard for me to pick out when I first started hearing it. I knew I was hearing something strange, but my brain couldn’t quite figure out that the person was actually saying “broughten” instead of “brought”. Now, of course, I can’t not hear it!
