y'alling 

When having a cell phone conversation the person on the other end of the call says y'all (alternatively spelled as yall) every few words in a desperate attempt to sound southern when in actuality they are from somewhere like New York. For people who say y'all naturally (i.e. real southerners), this is a painful conversation.

It is important to note that this particular "y'all" is obviously fake and can be distinguished by such characteristics as a noticeable pause between the "y" and the "all" because the poser cannot even grasp the basic pronunciation of the word, and by their grammatically incorrect use of it to refer to only one person, when in fact y'all is one of the contracted forms of the second person plural "you all."
(On cell phones.)

Poser: Hey Y'ALL, how are Y'ALL doing? Y'ALL, I was just calling to tell Y'ALL that I wanted Y'ALL to do me a favor. Could Y'ALL... (it can go on forever!)

Poser's Dad: What the hell? You're from New York. Stop y'alling, you poser! *Hangs up in frustration.*

Y'alling 

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.

French for "let's go." More formal than "on y va" (literally "one goes there") which means the same thing.

Well-known from the phrase "Allons-y, Alonso" (Alonso is a name). Made famous in English by the tenth doctor on Doctor Who though he was actually quoting the character Ferdinand in the '60s French film Pierrot le fou, where the subtitles translate it as "let's go, daddy-o."
Ferdinand: Allons-y, Alonso.
