OK....I will bite...things I actually do say from the list:

40. I'll take Shakespeare....I love the Bard..always have

36. ...I'll take a Heineken...(wifey..from Charleston SC..pedigreed)

34....no sideburns here in Music City as a rule except on Hipster meterosexuals often from up North

32......Graceland is indeed VERY TACKY..Good God.

31....kids in back of pickup...my wife admonishes me all the time...but I let them do it when we are out more rural by the house

30...Wrasslin is fake...but still hurts...see the Mickey Rourke movie

27...my wife would tell me about my weight were it crazy

20...Wifey never goes to Wal Mart or Dollar General...I do

19....I detest beef fat..it's rancid...pork fat on the other hand is near trinity food wise

16...I like fancy lettuce but do like a chilled iceberg wedge with blue cheese and bacon bits..

15...everyone does computers now under age 90..anywhere

13...my son loves Salmon and Trout...broiled..i like Flounder and Pompano...Gulf boy

12...I know folks registered at Tiffanys...a waste..hype for the Blue Box..most gals opt for Pottery Barn, Restoration or one of the big dept stores...or Corzine for Belle Meade folks

9) I play chess...but I'd rather freep when I have spare time

4) I always get salad dressing on the side except for the wedge aforementioned

2) I have two daughters...having them change clothes for the appearance of chaste is as common here as in Utah...look at MTV in New York metro for more trashy women..southern women are not trashy unless drunk or at the lower rungs...and then not all of them...Southern women and some higher end South American women are about as good as it gets...and yes..I actually have been everywhere

1)I don't drink but I enjoy when my wife does and table dances on Lower Broad.

"Y'all" is singular.

The plural is "all y'all."

This has to do with some idiot from another part of the company who falls for Hollywood stereotypes of the South, thinks they can fake an authentic southern accent, and is oblivious to the fact that "y'all" is a contraction of "you all"-- plural, never singular.

Shows what you know! Y'all is singular and the plural is all y'all. ;o)

No sir. It is not ever singular.

“Y’all” refers to a group. “All y’all” ensures that everyone within the sound of the speaker knows they are included.

“15...everyone does computers now under age 90..anywhere”

I was visiting friends a couple of counties deep into rural NC a few weeks ago. Their 20 something kids are as technologically skilled as my suburban 20 something kids.

Well, we did it that way in NC when I was growing up. They did it that way in SC & VA when I was in the Navy and they do it that way in GA where I live now.

Maybe they do things differently in AL.

Y’all is not singular....not anywhere in Dixie I have ever lived

7th generation Mississippian, FFV, Ole Miss grad, married to Charleston born and Murfreesboro TN raised lass

No way...maybe coonasses in Ville Platte say y’all as singular but I always heard “you” in one to one
