Second person plural? Based. Much handier and less awkward than “youse”, “you guys”, or “yinz”.

Heretic!

Also, should not be used by anyone living north of I-70 or east of the Mississippi.

Not sure if you unintentionally use a double negative or if we just disagree about this, but it absolutely should NOT be used by any fan of the Stillers.

Strongly approve, is a pretty convenient word with no alternative that is clearly more popular and absolutely should be used more often
