I used to say y'all but I live 200 miles north now and consider myself a yankee. I now say you all

[Chomper]

dude I say y'all but I am as far north as you will probably here it.

Of course here in NC y'all is a staple of many a conversation.

But if you go way back in the mountains and find real mountain folks (not transplanted yankees) you will hear them saying yuns (pronounced yuuuuuuuuuuuuunz). Funny they say the same thing in Pitsgurgh.

I cant imagine communicating a whole day with out at least a dozen or so strategically placed "yalls".

Only 1 dozen??? I think I may have you beat.

I live pretty close to RB, so I say ya'll all the time. RB, what about this, "yinz?"

As in "Whats yinz doin?"

I might say yinz or yunz, but when I say it I'm being funny. Around here a purse is a pocket book, a sofa is a couch, lunch is dinner, dinner is supper, bbq is pork, and a soda is a pepsi.


P.S. I don't say, "I'm fixin to...." Not that there's anything wrong with that!! My sister's husband takes it to a new level. He says, "I'm gonna fixin to..."

When we hunt deer, at the end of the hunt my dad always says, "Didja see er?" Apparently "er" means "any" or "anything."
