Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Y’all

Just wondering if ‘y’all’ is regional dialect? Used regularly on these forums, can’t recall ever hearing it used in this corner of PA

You'uns and we'uns?

I hear it every day in SC.

"Usta-coulda" was a new one for me. I heard it in Texas years ago. "Does that road go all the way through? It usta coulda".

Never heard of we'uns. And it's yunz. There's no you in the pronunciation.

I was holding a face to face conversation one time with a guy down south when I was in the south, and he interrupted me mid sentence and said whoa whoa whoa, wait, did you just say yunz?? Lol.

Very common throughout the deep south.

Being a Hillbilly in WV I hear the statement I talk funny if traveled south or north of WV. They just don't speak our language, Appalachian American, lol.

Gawd

Leave the Timmy Hortons for once’d in a while

Who yall other dispshît on here talkin bout he aint never been east of Picatello

Wtf

Huh. I wouldn't of known that. Must change again if you go south farther. I was in an area where they say Y'all, and this guy seemed taken aback by a word he never heard before. Lol.

And I could've said the same about them. The word is carry, not "tote". No, not "naw". Really quick, not "right quick". Ha. More I can't think of at the moment.

We all enjoy hearing from you all. They all from up north make fun of us all cause we all don’t say you guys.

I’m fixin to whoop up on ya’lls ass is what my grandma would say.

Cody Johnson has a song called “ Y’all People”


We had some boys that came down from Michigan to hunt for a week in East Texas. They made fun of the y’all so we went out of our way to lay that on thick. We all, them all, you all, bastards make fun of us wearing Wrangler jeans and blue jean snap shirts too. The shirts were Canadian Tuxedos they said.

In the south we heard, you'all come back again.

Y'all pards...

Every part of the nation has their own curious ways of butchering the language. Every nation does it. A Mexican from one part of Mexico can have trouble understanding a Mexican from another part of Mexico.

When I was in Mississippi in the late 1970s I heard the strangest one to me. Bunch of guys at coffee break ribbing a young man about. Going out and getting some cock.
I thought it was strange that all these guys were cool with a queer. Turned out that was local for pussy. Edk

Use it daily in Western North Carolina. You’ns is common in a couple of local mountain communities around here too. When they say that, you know they are a native from that area.

Southern English is a very relaxed manner of speaking. We fabricate our own style of contractions and leave the "g" off of the ending of any word that has it.

Spoken Southern English flows much more smoothly than English spoken elsewhere.

Mine has changed just a bit since I moved from far western Kentucky to central Kentucky. Far western Kentucky is "the south". Central Kentucky, not so much.

It was good to travel back "down home" this week and hear my original dialect being spoken again.

Confucius say
Man who fraid of self checkout not make fun of man who say yall
