Yvhuce Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I thought "y'all" was primarily an African-American saying... Nope. "Y'all" is a staple of officially recognized dialect known as Southern American English. Commonly referred to as "redneck speak". Also, the only good pirates are the Pirates Of The Mississippi, because they gave us this song. Link to comment

WakkoWannaBe Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Y'all is southern, not just black. I'm actually disappointed, y'all. I open most of my topics with "hey y'all." I thought that the use of y'all was very well known. Gah. Okay I'm gonna stop shameing y'all over spilt milk. Link to comment
Dill_Pickle Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Sounds like spoony's exposure to southerners has been only with his black coworkers...so he should check and see if they say "I heard that!!" Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'm a Floridian transplant and have caught myself saying y'all a few times too. It's not just the babies that pick up on the commonly used words, it's the adult babies too. Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I don't know if I consider Florida part of the south. I once heard that all Floridaians were aliens, and I instantly believed it. Link to comment
