Is the difference between youse and youse guys the number of people involved? Similar to y'all and all y'all?

Happy birthday to youse, happy birthday to youse. Happy birthday this fucking guuuuy! Happy birthday to youse!

Can "y'all" be singular, since there is "all y'all" for plural?

I can't speak for anyone else, but you seem to be missing the biggest issue with this map: saying "you guys" excludes anyone but those identifying as male. You may not mean it that way, but I've had women be offended when I used that in the past, and I wouldn't like being referred to as a "gal" in a group of women. It's just not accurate.

Personally, for a gender-neutral way of addressing a group, I like "you folks".
