Did you just assume my nongender?
It’s the internet. I assume everyone, until it being proven otherwise, is either a sentient amorphous blob or a bot.
Y’all posers.
You want to be inclusive like we did down in Tennessee, right all’y’all?
Texas does not have a monopoly on y’all. Y’all is collective, both as a noun, and as ownership. Y’all is Southern for Comrade.
Y’all is not Texan. Y’all is Southern and Texas is Southern wannabe.
Florida is so redneck that they crossed a threshold into its own category. Florida Man.
Seriously, I can’t believe people try to say its not really the south. Like its literally the furthest south you can go in the US.
You mean it has a several well developed left wing voting cities between the huge stretches of backwater redneck hellscapes? I’d love to know what makes Texas not southern…
By that logic Pennsylvania is Southern… And Washington State… And probably most of the country.
I mean, it’s certainly disgusting white trash enough. It’s got a lot of similar characteristics. Although I think eating horse turds to celebrate a championship is pretty unique. So they’ve got that and the throwing batteries at Santa thing to separate themselves. Fuck Philly.
As a Texan we are not southern ;)
We are sort of western. But yea too late to the party to be southern imo.
Depends. Texas exists as a state in part because southern US farmers ran out of land to grow cotton in. A good chunk of Texas is just an extension of the south. Then again, a good chunk is an extension of Mexico. Tejanos don’t get the credit they are due for the formation of the Republic.
Y’all oughtta distinguish “y’all” from “all y’all”.
I feel like y’all covers up to ~3 and “all y’all” (my favourite Americanism) is reserved for more than that?
As a born and raised southerner, y’all can be used for one person or many, with no clear limit on the number. All y’all is used to stress a point or to make it clear that it references everyone capable of hearing the message or just anyone who could be intended. All y’all is mainly used, in real world applications, in the sentence “all y’all can go fuck y’allself” or similar.
That’s not right:
- you - singular
- y’all - plural
- all y’all - superplural
Y’all refers to multiple people, all y’all refers to multiple groups of people
While I won’t disagree, is a discussion about “y’all” really the place for a phrase like “plural genitive”? ;)
