alt Hacker News"Pennsyltucky" doesn't necessarily mean "the rural parts of PA." It can mean "the swath of country roughly from Pennsylvania to Kentucky" or "places like that" or it can be even broader than that. Or it can simply mean "Pennsylvania." It's really not so easy to pigeonhole this stuff. Not accurately anyway.
It's helpful to write these things down. What's not helpful is using them as if they were precise and definitive.

I love the way “badgered” seems to have become the new word for “I’m wrong but don’t want to admit it.”
Just the other day someone was complaining about being “badgered” for not being willing to read the OP before commenting on it.
Nowhere on Google or Wikipedia is there any suggestion that the word "Pennsyltucky" can ever include the urban parts of Pennsylvania.
Where have you ever seen it to refer to the entire state, or as anything other than a derogatory term for the people who don't live in the Philly or Pittsburgh metro areas?
Edit: you aren't being badgered, you made something up and refuse to acknowledge that for whatever reason.
Are you saying those are additional possible meanings of Pennsyltucky, or that you've heard people use it to mean all of those?
I have only ever heard it used to mean the rural areas between the two cities, in keeping with the saying "Pittsburgh on one side, Philly on the other, and Kentucky in between", which has of course confused people not familiar with the stereotypes or geography.
The other famous use of Pennsyltucky is the character in Orange is the New Black, which I've always taken to mean "she acts like she's from Pennsyltucky".
I guess we need to wait for the term to be used enough to get into a dictionary to get it well defined
