The longest thread ever

No prescription drugs and been a few years since my last trip to Colorado.

The internet can surprise and delight —- and horrify and disgust.

I knew it wasn't Ambien, because that just makes you racist.

It would have been your guess Mtn Devil spends too much time on reddit?

Nobody needs to guess about that.

Late in the game - but you DO realize there was a "w" before the "/extra pickles", right? You're just being a pain, right? Sometimes it's hard to tell.

It's actually never hard to tell. And yes.

You can always tell a non-native Southerner when s/he spells it "ya'll" instead of "y'all".

I am of the opinion that y'all is an absolute victory of efficiency. It's the best word to describe a group of people. I had someone, who is not a native Southerner, recently tell me it could be singular. I have never used it to refer to one person, and looking at it it should have to be plural. Does anyone disagree with that?

What if that one person was the Artist formerly known as?

Speaking of y'all does it apply when addressing a collection of animals?

In this case I'm thinking Skydog, Bluedog, dudog84, and Kdogg.

Insert Baha Men reference here.

This made me laugh.

Who let the dogs post? Who? Who? Who?

Only a non-native Southerner would use y'all in the singular. And they would be wrong. I only learned about Dunning-Kruger yesterday, btw.

Do you guys think pink gloves will leave a pink residue on someone's face? Follow up: do you guys know of anything that would remove pink residue from someone's face?

[YmoBeThere]

Isn't "all y'all" the more proper phrasing?

Yes, I'm expecting a "bless his heart" any post now.

I side with you here. Y'all in the singular seems crazy to me. And I have an entire lecture based on the Dunning-Kruger effect. I had an unbelievably fun lecture last week where there were 8 of us in the room and all of us had different opinions and everyone was firmly convinced they were right. How fun is that?!?!

Many languages have a second person plural form. I think it’s quite refined.

Industrial solvents?

“All y’all” refers to two or more groups of y'alls.

I have a belt sander if that would help.

[ClemmonsDevil]

"all y'all".

Y'all is the normal usage but I will say "all y'all" if I am really mad. And it is usually followed by the threat of physical violence. As in: "Nah. All y'all gonna catch a whoopin". When I go full Surry County something has gone terribly amiss.

You are a gentleman sir. Appreciate your help.

Yes. Let’s say two tailgating groups from rival teams pre-partied and got into a posing contest. “All y’all” would be the appropriate phrase to begin a scolding.
