MOBILE, AL—A California man who was visiting some friends in Alabama shocked the group when he committed blatant cultural appropriation, saying the word "y'all" even though he was born and raised in Los Angeles.
"Listen up -- that ain't cool," said his buddy, Cletus Miller, after the group had recovered from hearing the offensively appropriated word. "Our culture ain't yours to appropriate as you see fit, partner."

“They gonna put y’all back in chains!”
My Choir conductor says says Y’all’ too, but in fairness he has a son who lives in Alabama. My Choir conductor was born, and grew up in Pennsylvania, and still lives there.
I live in Spanish Fort, which is straight across Mobile Bay from Mobile, and I can attest that we would NOT fault a Yankee for saying Y’all. Now then, if a Yankee even tried a Bless Your Heart, we’d yank a knot in his azz quick fast.
I guess I should shut my mouth. I’m a damn yankee who grew up saying yous or you guys. Been living in the south 10+ years, it has come out of my mouth a few time. Now y’all with a New York accent is a rather discordant thing.
What’re y’uns tawkin ‘bout?
Y’all Yankees don’t be appropriating, ya’hear?
I saw a video of Biden addressing about a dozen blacks at one of his “events” in North Caroline about a week or two ago. I heard him say “yall” two or three times. I’ve also heard Hillary Clinton say “yall” when she’s campaigning among blacks in the South.
Remember when John Kerry went South he dressed up in his hunting togs, carried a shotgun and came back holding two ducks.
I read sometime ago that what a lot of people like about Trump is that he is who he is. He shows up dressed in a suit, and speaks with his Queens accent. I haven’t heard him say “yall” even once.
I’m happy when Yankees say y’all
How about “my that’s nice” ? Or “isn’t that precious”. :)
I think this would be appropriate for this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUFL2GT1-2g&list=PL5b6Q3XmBZ7wiWP-Rjf6l4jtF04NSB8e2&app=desktop
I used to climb up on the big billboard looking down over the old causeway pre Eye Ten
1974
We’d climb on top and watch the lights and traffic coming up over the bay
Lake Forest was just being built and the old Shell station next to where you turned to go to Malbis was only gas option till Fairhope
Eastern shore was quaint then except for Point Clear and Montrose which were fancy
I love it now more than I did then
I’ve got your cultural appropriation rat cheer
Correct usage for “Y”all” is one person addressing another person. When addressing multiple persons, the correct usage is the plural form: “All Y’all”!
Southern hick Cletus said “partner”! He is appropriating Western cowhand culture!
“Did y’all hear what Mama said!”—Dick Shawn in It’s a MAD, Mad, Mad, Mad World, when under the “BIG W!”
If you want to go Texan, you will to use the letter “R” and add it to words you think need it: car warsh, warsher machine for example and properly use “fix’n” in a sentence.
Kinda but we generally say “pardner or pard” sometimes coupled with “ya wanna repeat that?”
My first lesson in Southern culture was to understand that “y’all” is actually singular. Go figure!
Dang! I just used it at least 2 times in the last couple hours. An upper Midwest boy now living in Alaska.
