Annexation of Canada

[CheeseWhiz]

Stand the word “y’all,” I cannot.  Use it all the time, my mother does.

[Gabu]

Just Ontario and British Columbia as the rest can go to hell.

It already is.

Really?  I guess being damned to hell is actually a pretty good experience, in that case.

Seriously, "yall" is an improvement on the English language. It provides a separate word for the 2nd-person plural pronoun than the 2nd-person singular pronoun.

Umm, what do you call 'you guys'?

Anyway, I say we should all change to tú and vosotros!

Don't vosotros agree?

You guys?  What the hell do you say if they're women?

I'm happy with that.  Better to steal words from other languages than bastardize the one we use.

Maybe we could get Dave to make an addition to the swear filter, so that any time somebody types "y'all", it gets changed to "vosotros".

He said "you guys".

"Y'all" is about 100,000 times better than that ubitquitous "You guys" that you hear so often in the Northeast/Midwest.

I often hear "you guys" when I'm out on a date with a woman from a waiter/waitress.  It makes me want to punch him in the head.  I am not going out with a guy, unlike others who populate this forum.

You guys in the south are so weird.

Saying "you guys" around here will get you lynched.  And I'll come watch.
Yall all the way!

You guys really need to chill out about "you guys".

No, yall need to recognize what an improvement yall is to the English language and use it...a simple one-wrd 2nd-person plural pronoun that's distinct from the singular.

[minionofmidas]

That's "you". The singular is "thou".

So what's the problem?  It's obvious to everybody in that situation - you, the waiter, and the woman you're with - what's going on.  Why do you feel that his choice of words is an affront to your sexuality?

I'd much prefer to use two words that don't literally apply, than one word that isn't actually even a word.

And put it together you get the contraction "Ya'll."  It fits.  It sounds perfect.  It solves the problem.

Well it seems that you've successfully hijacked this thread with the discussion of the useless word "yall".

Actually I've heard it stands for "ya all," making the position of the apostrophe ambiguous, either "ya'll" or "y'all."  I prefer to eliminate the apostrophe to avoid this, "yall" and make it seem like a standard formal word.

I wouldn't understand people not from the north to get something like this.
