I just know it’s some Pittsburgh slang

  • yins , yinz , yunz , you’uns , or youns - ( pronoun ) plural of you (second-person personal plural pronoun from Scots-Irish English)[6][7][38][61][13][62][63]

As in “yinz guys are jagoffs”.

Maybe not a lot of free donor money sloshing around as it mainly goes to Trump and his lawyers.

No plastic surgery back then. And weren’t the guys all smokers?

Also, those hairstyles the women have just make people look old.

Plenty of women, too. Smoking rates in Canada these days are higher for men than women, but in the big picture it’s about 12% for men and 9% for women. So roughly 1 in 10 for each.

As recently as 1999 the rates were more than double that for both men and women (27% and 25%). In the 70s it was more like 45% to 55% for men vs. 35% to 40% for women. So there’s been a persistent gap, but still a large number of smokers for both men and women.

There’s probably a number of other factors that impact the prevalance of “aged” appearances. Sun exposure would be a big one, I was a kid in the 80s and sunscreen wasn’t really a thing back then, for example.

There also wasn’t such an emphasis on looking young and a whole industry segment built around stuff that would keep your skin looking young.
