David McCormick went on the Ruthless Podcast a few days ago and did what aspiring politicians do, try to ingratiate himself with the hosts and pretend that he's just a regular guy from Pennsylvania instead of a former billionaire Hedge Fund manager who lives in a $16mil mansion in Connecticut along the Gold Coast of the Long Island Sound and travels to Pennsylvania on a private jet.

Things did not get off to an auspicious start though when McCormick brought out his prop, in this case, a six-pack of Yuengling lager, and proceeded to call it "YANGLING." (I guess he didn't read on Wikipedia how to pronounce it correctly.) For anyone listening in, that pretty much ended this charade before it even began.

The correct pronunciation, that anyone really from Pennsylvania would know, is "YING-LING." Screwing that up is pretty much disqualifying. via Draft Mag:

The correct pronunciation of Yuengling is “YING-LING,” rhyming with “mingling” or “jingling.” It’s that straightforward. As a craft beer enthusiast, you must know the correct pronunciation. You wouldn’t want bartenders wondering what to serve into your glass.

Or Pennsylvania voters to think you're just some hopeless carpetbagger trying to weasel his way into a Senate seat in a state he doesn't even live in, right?

Here's a helpful primer with real-life examples.

Pennsylvania Democrats know a howler when they hear one. They can't be too worried this dummkopf will win against Sen. Bob Casey next year.
