Y'all

contraction of you all. The only thing my social studies teacher ever says.

My social studies teacher: y'all y'all yyyyyyy'all y-y-y-y-y'all
Me being the British guy: what the fuck are you talking about!

y'all

Southern 2nd person plural pronoun. Most concise and easily distinguished. Despite the assurance of some emails that have been passing around, "y'all" is plural. Only an absolute idiot would use it as a singular pronoun.

Where are y'all going?

y'all

contraction for you all. Despite what some think, it is not only used by hicks and the uneducated. People from all walks of life, traditionally the southern states use it.

Hey y'all, over here!

y'all

The best way to address two or more people. Better than: you guys, youse guys, and you all! Yes, I live in Southern Alabama, and yes, I attended Harvard!

Please shut up, y'all!!!

y'all

The only way to address two or more people. Y'all sounds a heck of a lot better than youse guys and is more efficient as well. Only say it if you're from the south unless you want to get laughed at because yankees don't know how to pronounce it right. Ya'll is spelled incorrectly and "all y'all" is perfectly legitimate. Never use y'all to refer to one person--it makes things really confusing.

He was fixing to teach y'all a lesson.
I was wondering what all y'all had in mind.

y'all

Derived from the old English ye and all. Originally used in colonial America. Now often used to represent you all.

What are y'all up to.
