(pron.) A contraction for "you all," used primarily in the southern United States. The possessive of "y'all" is "y'all's" as in:
"Do y'all have y'all's stuff packed for the trip?"
Regional note: Often the use of "y'all all" is perfectly acceptable for many Southerners:
"Y'all all have a great time tonight!" is equivalent to:
"All y'all have a great time tonight!"
Every reputable source states that "y'all" is used only as the second person plural pronoun (addressing more than one person). Quoting one source: Southerners do not, as is sometimes believed, use "you-all" or "y'all" for both singular and plural "you."
But this is not altogether true. In some cases, particularly when a heated exchange is taking place in a trailer community between two partners or individuals, "y'all" is perfectly normal for use as the second person singular pronoun:
"I've HAD it with yore horse shit, Jesse Sue! Y'all can go FUCK OFF!!"
NOTE: This is useful because the person addressing Jesse Sue can imply both Jesse Sue (by herself) AND her biological family members in the same statement.

"Did y'all fuck Jesse Sue last night?"
"Y'all's grandma is a whore!"
"Y'all all git y'all's ass outta here!"
"Y'all come again."
"Y'all's grandma is a whore!"
"Y'all all git y'all's ass outta here!"
"Y'all come again."

adrv. 1) Quite possibly the most useful word ever created.
abrv. 2) The words "you" and "all" conjointed into one word.

Fake word. Not a contraction. The phrase is "you all". Used by fake Southerners and Black wannabes. Hipster douchebag slang.

Any ham-handed effort by a non-southern person of flavoring communication with an intentionally folksy tone by inexpertly appropriating any southern expression and accidentally revealing the intention.
Y'alling example....Hey y'all, understanding that some folks may take exception to the trans-exclusionary feminist decision to ban any and all penises from the upcoming Femme-fest, we huddled and made the executive decision anybody who does could take it up at the next Board Meeting in advance of next year's festivities.

"FWM" in slang stands for "f**k with me," which generally means "do you vibe with me?" or "do you mess with me?" It's often used to ask if someone is interested, supportive, or on the same wavelength. For example, "Y'all fwm?" could mean "Do you all mess with me?" or "Are you all cool with me?"
Hey, I was just wondering if y'all fwm?
