Unmitigated Phallus

If you say “y’all” or “ain’t” in my presence, you’re automatically stupid as hell.

Agreed.

I’m originally from Gaston County, North Carolina, which is RIGHT IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF THE BIBLEBELTED SWEET TEA DRINKING FUCKHOLE, and I said it all of my life up until I moved to the coast. Nobody says it unless they want to get beat up.

Fucking.

Thank.

You.

It’s like, I hear it at home, and I hate it. If I’m calling for people, I say “hey you guys” or “hey guys”, but “ya’ll” is like…wat?

It pisses me off to no end.

Oh wow I wonder how it would feel to be as sophisticated as you are! How intelligent and classy!

I wish someone had just told me how much of a bumpkin I was, and am, because I learned to speak in local dialect! If only I, too, had been fortunate enough to live on the coast, where evidently I could have been curbed of my shameful habit by roaming bands of people who would “beat me up” for saying “y’all”! Astonishing! Perhaps a tour of the “coast” (would love to know which) would help me become acquainted with a better, more acceptable American English.

I was so ashamed by your shrewd linguistic analysis (“but “ya’ll” is like…wat?”) that I decided to quickly gather some information on the extent of this awful social problem. Luckily, Wikimedia provided a map of the areas where the phrase “y’all” is especially common.

So we could really grasp the scope of this issue, I did a quick search of the populations of these contraction-blighted areas. The results are grim. A full 25% of the US population is need of serious linguistic intervention, and fast!

These figures aren’t good. With 25% percent of the US population admitted “y’all”-sayers, you have your work cut out for you: it will take quite a bit of time to cure the ignorance of 77,441,911 people! You have quite a lot of educating to do. However, I’m confident that with your help we can learn to curb our ways and quit being such moronic shitstains!

a love letter to ferrox:

im so glad i follow you

signed, liz

wow way to be a complete douchebag op I applaud you

Wow. Just…just wow.

I live in Kansas City, MO, and a LOT of people here say y’all. Is it fucking annoying as shit? YES. Do I think people are stupid just because they use a slang term that they were raised with? NO.

The OP is extremely ignorant if they think other people are stupid for using slang. I’m sure OP uses plenty of “coast” slang that would make them sound like a complete fuckhead in any part of the south.

So why don’t we all stop being ignorant shitstains and leave each other’s linguistic cultures alone?

Oh my fucking God.

I’m sorry, if you think me saying “y’all” is a notation of my intelligence, you’re automatically stupid as hell.

I… I still occasionally say “y’all” or “ain’t.” It’s pretty rare for me, but come on, I only spent the first two and a half years of my life south of the Mason-Dixon line before my family moved. If we hadn’t moved, though, it probably would have been a regular part of my vocabulary. So how interesting is it that these dickfaces think it’s better to judge intelligence on regional dialect instead of on thoughtfulness, discourse, or intellectual capacity?

Also, fuck them. How’s that for some discourse, eh? Fuckers.

Wow, OP. Just fucking wow. I live in Idaho and people here sometimes say “ya’ll” too. Hell, I say it and sometimes type it (even on here). But “ya’ll” and “ain’t” aren’t as bad as some of the things that people here say. Like “Hey, can you borrow me some money.” No, really I’ve heard my grown, college educated high school teachers utter this phrase meaning it! So, I figure my occasional utterance of “ya’ll” isn’t all that bad in comparison.

But hey, if “ya’ll” is so bad, I’ll just stick with “Hey fuckers!”

Texan here. I couldn’t escape ‘ya’ll’ or ‘ain’t’ even if I wanted to, and I don’t because I say these two words a ridiculous amount all day erry day and if OP doesn’t like it then they can just fuck right off a cliff.

I’m from Illinois and I always say ya’ll and ain’t.

man, ya’ll can blow me if you think using regional dialects is an indicator of intelligence.

WOAH WOAH WAIT JUST A GODDAMN SECOND WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH SWEET TEA? IT’S THE BEST BEVERAGE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE FUCK YOU OP

Y’all language policing assholes ain’t shit.

Fuck language policing, seriously. I picked up y’all when I lived in TN for two years, and while I am very consciously, carefully, deliberately in control of my speech patterns and common lexical items, and normally am very careful to keep regionalisms out of my idiolect, I choose to use y’all quite a lot these days. I like it as a non-gendered clearly-plural second-person - technically “you” is both the singular and plural 2nd-person pronoun, but it’s ambiguous as such - as opposed to “you guys”.

Out of curiosity, I wonder if the OP would judge someone as “automatically stupid” for using “hella”? It’s just as much of a regionalism as “ain’t” or “y’all” - even more so, really, as it has a much smaller distribution area. Somehow, I don’t think they would, which points to the underlying classism that informs a statement as ridiculous as tying the use of certain regionalisms to a person’s intelligence.

TL;DR: STFU, OP, you have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about.
