If anyone can find more pixels for me i would appreciate it.
Thanks y'all.
I would have thought that βyβallβ is even more so gender neutral and therefore less offensive/more accepted. Itβs a contraction of βyou allβ right?
I'll throw in "folks" as another gender neutral option. I say "you folks" all the time, especially in professional contexts. I'm not from the South, but I have family there so y'all is a part of my vocabulary. I use it in more informal situations pretty commonly.
I'm from New Jersey and have never heard anyone unironically say "youse guys". Side note we also don't call it "Joisey".
Should be fine π
I call everyone brah π€
as a trans person, I'm not offended by y'all in the slightest
This statement has strong Bilbo " I like less than half of you as well as you deserve" energy
(No hate, it just struck me as funny)
I lowkey always found that to be a southern type of insult, I could hear Steve Spurrier saying it
Iβm from Australia and Iβve started calling all groups of people yall because itβs gender neutralβ¦ very unaustralian term, and I love so much the irony of iconic southern terms being used to support trans activism
I'm German and I use y'all all the time when speaking English. it's funny, most of my English is from the internet so it's the most crazy mix of english
This needs a line going up the Appalachians for the "You-uns" belt.
And somewhere there's "yinz".
I was just about to point out that the map is missing a small "yinz" enclave around Pittsburgh/Johnstown
ITT: Yinzers
Only if you man in it a "you people" kind of way - like y'all need to stay with your own kind- or something like that.
Y'all = you all, which is gender neutral.
Also that map is missing the Chicagoland y'all exclave.
I don't think "Y'all" would be problematic. But I also offer "You peeps", I enjoy that one more in day to day conversation.
