God
I been wondering what "yall" say when you are addressing say several of your friends while standing around. Say you want to ask them where they want to run next in the boat and fish? EX: "Where do yall want to go now?"

LOL just curous...do you just say "you" or "you all"?

I know I bet its "youz guys, ehh?" LOL


I cant imagine communicating a whole day with out at least a dozen or so strategically placed "yalls".
 
I live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and we are just far enough south that y'all is pretty common around here. I do not use it in business settings, but I use it all the time during social conversation.

Slow day at work today Stinky?
 
After returning from Germany, my wife's cousin had her husband relocated to Fort Benning.
Her culture shock was described as this.
"You know..., I always knew the people from South Georgia talked funny but having lived there all my life, it was just second nature to hear stuff like, ain't, y'all or a bunch of other things.
But these people from Columbus even say, y'all'es".
 
LOL, not that slow Nipper, just HOT!


Index is 106* today and HUMID. I cant walk to the truck and get it cooled off before Im soaked. Trying to stay indoors. LOL
 
grew up near pittsburgh and I grew up saying "yunz" or "yenz" depending if you were north or south of pittsburgh.
 
i am yoz guys kind of guy,

66* today, cloudy with rain moving in, same forcast for the last few weeks!! Water temps running high 50's (58 or so) Man summer gets here later every year and leaves fast!:cry:
 
spent the first 14 years of my life in NJ, next 14 in Florida(mostly north florida), last 14 back in NJ with a small stint in SC. definitely say ya'll more than any other but have dropped the "I'm fixin' to do this or I'm fixin to do that".....and in the right company I definitely throw in some youz guys.

p.s. the weather this June completely sucks

Of course here in NC y'all is a staple of many a conversation.

But if you go way back in the mountains and find real mountain folks (not transplanted yankees) you will hear them saying yuns (pronounced yuuuuuuuuuuuuunz). Funny they say the same thing in Pitsgurgh.

Only 1 dozen??? I think I may have you beat.:party:

I live pretty close to RB, so I say ya'll all the time. RB, what about this, "yinz?"

As in "Whats yinz doin?"

I might say yinz or yunz, but when I say it I'm being funny. Around here a purse is a pocket book, a sofa is a couch, lunch is dinner, dinner is supper, bbq is pork, and a soda is a pepsi.
:fam:

P.S. I don't say, "I'm fixin to...." Not that there's anything wrong with that!! My sister's husband takes it to a new level. He says, "I'm gonna fixin to..."

When we hunt deer, at the end of the hunt my dad always says, "Didja see er?" Apparently "er" means "any" or "anything."
