Editing Myron Cope (section)

=== Catchphrases and nicknames ===
Like other sports announcers in Pittsburgh, particularly [[Pittsburgh Penguins|Penguins]] commentator [[Mike Lange]] and the late [[Pittsburgh Pirates|Pirates]] announcer [[Bob Prince]], Cope had a repertoire of unique [[catchphrase]]s employed in his broadcasts, such as "Mmm-Hah!" (when he loses his train of thought, or forgets a player's name) and "Okel Dokel" (his version of "okey dokey").<ref name=erietimes/> Cope often used [[Yiddish]] expressions, especially "Feh!" and "Yoi!" (sometimes multiplied as "Double Yoi" or rarely "Triple Yoi").

Cope also created [[nickname]]s for many players and opposing teams. It was Cope who popularized ''"The Bus"'' as a nickname for former Steelers [[running back]] [[Jerome Bettis]], "Jack Splat" for [[Jack Lambert (American football)|Jack Lambert]], and he gave [[Kordell Stewart]] the nickname ''"Slash."''<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.steelersfever.com/myron_cope.html| publisher=Steelers Fever.com| title=Myron Cope| access-date=2008-04-20| archive-date=May 9, 2008| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509185242/http://www.steelersfever.com/myron_cope.html| url-status=dead}}</ref>

Cope also used the term "Cincinnati Bungles" to describe their [[Cincinnati Bengals|division rivals]], known during the 1990s for a string of bad seasons and numerous draft busts.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Myron Memories |url=https://www.steelers.com/news/myron-memories-957059 |access-date=2022-05-10 |website=www.steelers.com |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Goldstein |first=Richard |date=2008-02-29 |title=Myron Cope, 79, Writer and Steelers Broadcaster, Is Dead |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/29/sports/football/29cope.html |access-date=2022-05-10 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Myron Cope, father of Terrible Towel, dies |url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/bs-mtblog-2008-02-post_195-story.html |access-date=2022-05-10 |website=Baltimore Sun |date=February 27, 2008 |language=en |archive-date=July 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711142827/https://www.baltimoresun.com/bs-mtblog-2008-02-post_195-story.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Myron also used terms such as "Brownies", "Birdies", "Yonkos", "Cryboys", and "Redfaces" for the football teams from [[Cleveland Browns|Cleveland]], [[Baltimore Ravens|Baltimore]], [[Denver Broncos|Denver]], [[Dallas Cowboys|Dallas]], [[Washington Commanders|Washington, D.C.]], in respective order.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Nesbitt |first=Stephen J. |title=Myron Cope and Dan Snyder: Inside the feud |url=https://theathletic.com/2252270/2020/12/16/myron-cope-dan-snyder/ |access-date=2022-07-30 |website=The Athletic |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=DeWitt |first=Nick |date=April 29, 2009 |title=The End of Double Yoi: Without Myron Cope, Steeler Football Hasn't Been the Same |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/164199-the-end-of-double-yoi-steeler-football-hasnt-been-the-same-since |access-date=2022-07-30 |website=Bleacher Report |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=February 28, 2008 |title=Myron Memories |url=https://www.steelers.com/news/myron-memories-957059 |access-date=2022-07-30 |website=www.steelers.com |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Nesbitt |first=Stephen J. |title=Myron Cope and Dan Snyder: Inside the feud |url=https://theathletic.com/2252270/2020/12/16/myron-cope-dan-snyder/ |access-date=2022-08-02 |website=The Athletic |language=en}}</ref>
