Tendencies to use southern slang (y'all, etc) -

[AF 802]

Who else here has a tendency to use southern slang in their vocabulary, and do you hate yourself for it? I know I do, but I don't really care because I think people can tell I have some southern in me (even though it's indirect).

My brother has been stationed all around Texas for a major part of his time in the Army (mostly central Texas) so I think I get a little bit of it from there. Who knows where else.

Friendly reminder its a coke not soda or pop.
But I do it unconsciously.

I do it because something, something fuck Yankees, born in the Le wrong decade and geographical region.

I just hate hearing y'all. Idky it just makes me irritably angry.

We do it because it's naturally part of our vocabulary, it's never even used in an ironic sense too.

This too.

Words like y'all and fixin' are just so much easier to use than "you guys" and "getting ready".

People who say "ya'll" to refer to only one person are objectively bad people.

Southern slang is the superior slang. Y'all ain't never gonna change my mind.

 

[Whatdidyousay?]

Reminder that the world doesn't revolve around the u.s. southern slang is laughed at universally by the rest of the world.

No one in the South or country uses "Y'all" only niggers do

Probably because white hipsters born and raised in Seattle keep using it on their Twitters.

Got some white people to break the news to...

I do something similar but it is with a black affect.
If someone is clearly an idiot, I'll begin to refer to them as "nigga".
I think I gained this from watching black people roast each other.

I live in the Southeast but I speak in an exaggerated SoCal surfer dude style a la Bill and Ted, dude.

Thanks to SJWs, using y'all in text online makes you sound like you're a fat blue haired dangerwhale SJW on Twitter whitesplaining something to someone.

I use "y'all" and "howdy" pretty often, but that's about it for using a southern drawl.

I don't hate myself for it. My mom was from the lower East coast (it's not the South per se, but the dialect is very similar), so I just kind of picked up on it growing up.

 

[Frogasm]

I grew up using y'all and still say it. it's a very convenient word.

I also say stuff like "folks" but I grew up thinking that was more something that german-american families tended to say than southern families. i don't know exactly why i thought this, maybe because folks and volks are so close.

It's slowly a bad habit i picked up a work because my work imports southerns all the time. Similar how i just say things in Spanish curse in Spanish or how i say "nigga" linguistics is fucking weird.

I like when they fuck it up and spell it "ya'll"
