        The only two things the South got right were “y’all” and biscuits and gravy.

          Try some chicken and waffles when you get the chance - 5000 calories have never tasted so good.

            Chicken and waffles are about as authentically southern as General Tso’s chicken is authentically Chinese.

          And chicken and waffles. And BBQ.

          Honestly, not actually a fan of y’all, but they have some fantastic food.

        “You” used to be that word, but mfs didn’t wanna say “thou” anymore so “you” has to pull double duty now

        In Ireland it’s still very common to use ‘ye’ for you plural.

        Missing? It is that part of speech! 😁 “You all,” the thing it conjoins, is proper English and the accurate thing to say. We do have it. We just refuse to try harder to be less patriarchal bc “guy” has less syllables. And most of the time it’s preceded by “you” anyway, so not even shorter. (If I’m wrong, someone please correct me)

        I take the time to correct myself in meetings, “when can you guys- ahem you all” - no apology, bc I’m doing my best, and demonstrating in my actions.

      Y’all is a really good pronoun and I think more people should use it.

        It makes everyone sound American. This is sometimes okay.

          As a Canadian, I use y’all, but usually only if the word ‘motherfuckers’ immediately follows it.

      i’m from australia and i’ve adopted yall for exactly that reason

      it also makes me real happy that some very transphobic shit heads would be furious if they knew that “their word” was part of the solution to gender neutral terminology

      In parts of the south “y’all” is singular. “All y’all” is plural.

          “Would ya’ll like a soda?” Vs. “Would all ya’ll like a soda?” - one of these means everyone shares one soda, the other means each person gets their own - but I don’t know which is which :O

            “Would y’all like a coke?”

            “Would all y’all like cokes?”

            You misspelled coke. Nobody says “soda” in the south, coke covers that. You have sprite coke, root beer coke, etc.

        As a super non-Southern USA guy, anytime I drop a “y’all” into convo, my Southerner friends say I’m not doing it right because I simply substitute all “you” instances with “y’all”.

        I guess these friends don’t come from the singular-y’all part of the South.
