In the list of second person plurals they forgot Pittsburgh: Yinz; and Upstate New York and parts NE: Youz and Yooz Guyz. Not to be confused with Yoots (young folk).

San Antonio: yalls.

Midwest: hunker down

Also: Loosiana or Louiseianna.

Inexcusable! Perhaps you're familiar also with the term "yinzer", which is sort of the Pittsburgh equivalent to a Southerner's "good old boy."

As in: Yesterday I talked to a couple of yinzers who were fishin the Mon.
