Aren't Y'All Sick To Death Of Seeing The Word "Y'All" In Print, And / Or Hearing It In Conversation?

It's the ultimate Deplorable word, is it not? To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, "Ah'm frum th' South - Ah jest SOUND stoopid."

by Anonymousreply 25October 21, 2019 3:36 AM

Y'all is a very efficient word, and in this day and age when personal pronouns are getting so much scrutiny, y'all has a definite usefulness.

Bottom line: fuck you, OP. Better yet, fuck your family too. FUCK ALL Y'ALL!

by Anonymousreply 1October 14, 2019 10:51 AM

Fuck you OP! I will continue to say "y'all", and all my other Southernese, as I am a proper Southern lady!

Better than "based off of" or "based out of."

Some of y’all are elitist jerks.

In England we say "You lot".... almost worse, in fact.

Well I am sick of seeing it used trendily by white northerners recently. It's a SJW word too. They might be going for AAVE.

by Anonymousreply 6October 14, 2019 11:33 AM

White northerners have realized its utility, as R1 pointed out. It's much better than our regional alternatives, such as "Youz" and "Yinz." "Y'all" sounds classy by comparison.

I thought Americans mostly say "You guys".

I’m super sick of the overuse of the word “super.” I’ll be super happy when this super dumb trend ends!

Hillary and Obama sc sometimes used it to sound folksy. Obama made it acceptable. Hillary per usual just followed.

I quite like it because it sounds so stupid.

& it beats the hell out of the 1990s "awesome".

Don't know what y'all talking about

I'm especially sick of non-Americans using it. It's a useful word that nevertheless sounds fucking stupid no matter who says it, but there's something about Europeans or Indians or Malaysians or who-the-fuck-ever using it that grates like hell. Get your own useful but crass word to use.

R14 = lexicon xenophobe.

All y’all need to calm down about the word ‘y’all’, y’all.

by Anonymousreply 16October 14, 2019 1:07 PM

Bump.

by Anonymousreply 17October 14, 2019 6:23 PM

I use it in speech because I'm a Texan, I've always used it and it sounds polite to me. I don't see it online, probably because I don't read crap. Maybe that's your problem? The real enemy is FOLKS, not Y'ALL.

by Anonymousreply 18October 14, 2019 6:26 PM

Ayuh.

by Anonymousreply 19October 14, 2019 6:35 PM

I see what you did there, OP.

I don’t like it.

At all.

^^^ Suffer!

I agree, I find it kind of patronizing. That said, I grew up in the South and am unlikely to stop saying “y’all” at my advanced age.

by Anonymousreply 22October 21, 2019 2:17 AM

Y'all some hoes up here.

by Anonymousreply 23October 21, 2019 2:37 AM

Not as sick as I am of “folk” and it’s “Das Deutsches Volk” connotation.

by Anonymousreply 24October 21, 2019 3:27 AM
