The Penguins game on Tuesday against the Wild will be a Pittsburgh-themed promotional night at PPG Paints Arena.
So, leading up to the game, the Penguins had players attempt to translate some Pittsburgh-based slang words.
In the first video, guys tackled "worsh," "crick," and "jimmies." Most guys struggled:
An 8-foot parking chair and the Clarks? Yeah, that makes for an epic Pittsburgh Theme Night (with jimmies on top!)
We thought we'd test the players' knowledge of 'Pittsburghese'... Can you tell Lafferty and Aston-Reese have family ties to Pittsburgh? ?https://t.co/2AE1tsAHyQ pic.twitter.com/xIdhb3AqJd

The second video covered "sweeper," "slippy," and "gumband." Dumbfounded, Kris Letang said, "Apparently I didn't live in the right city for 15 years."
Sweeper. Slippy. Gumband.
Watch what happens.

The third video featured "jumbo," "pop," and "redd up." The goalies were especially confused by the end of it:
Jumbo. Pop. Redd up.
The players take on Pittsburghese, part three.

With Sidney Crosby returning tonight, the Penguins compiled his answers into one video:
A Pittsburgh(ese) icon.
