Texas resident and never hear this.

"Y'all" means "you all", yes, but both small plural (2 people) or large plural (2,000,000,000 people). I've never heard a musician go on stage and say "How are all y'all doing tonight?". They just say "How are y'all doing tonight?"

"All y'all" really means "each of you". For example, if I'm running a bar and a family of parents and late teenagers enter, I would ask "are all y'all 18 or older?" Same if there are like 50 folks.

I cannot imagine a situation where I would say "all y'all" without it meaning to emphasize each and every one.

sorry in advance, but you would actually be asking "are all ya'll 21 or older? " because in America you can't drink until at least 3 years after you're allowed to start killing people

Yeah, "how're all y'all doing tonight" said to a stadium means "I hope each of you is doing well"

[–] HowdyLemmy@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sure, I do agree that it makes sense. I just haven't heard it myself, so I don't agree that it's a Texas thing.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh I was just agreeing and expanding

Try it with an expletive, for focus:

F*ck all y'all.

all y'all is about as Texan as it gets. Other then "getch" and "Fixin'"

[–] HowdyLemmy@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

F*ck all y'all is a great example!

Though, again, I think it's only used to emphasize each and every person rather than to emphasize a large group, like the OP implies.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because it's 'all [of] y'all'

Sure, I do agree that it makes sense. I just haven't heard it myself, so I don't agree that it's a Texas thing.

Yet Americans still want to put an S onto mass nouns like 'email', but y'all can figure this out.

[–] HowdyLemmy@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

I think you mean "yous". ;P

In Canada, its "oh yeah no for sure bud"

[–] Polkira@piefed.ca 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nah yeah, that applies pretty much one to one with Australia, we just slang no as nah except for the last one, where you'd actually say no

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Yeah no totally" is a similar one

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 2 points 2 days ago

Sí no no, sí. Is a yes in Spanish.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My favourite is yeah ehh.

Not only is it short and easy to say, it’s also very on brand and basically says that you also vouch for the idea.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

"Oh yeah eh" hits even harder

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I prefer the New New York version, "yous guyses"

[–] CrispyFern@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

youse guys wanna play stickball?

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

In Dutch people say “Nee ja” (no yes) or “Ja nee” (yes no) when they begin to answer a question. It’s basically meaningless, like starting a sentence with “well…”

Midwesterners say the same thing as Aussies but with an accent.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I don't know what you're talking about there weren't any consonants in the middle of those words when I found them.

To roughly translate

Yeah, nah = yes I have considered that point, no I don't agree

Nah, yeah = I would say no as I have misgivings, but yes we shall proceed.

Of course the profile picture is of Damo

In North Carolina you say y'all, which means you all, unless you're over 2,500 feet MSL in which case say y'uns which means you ones.

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world -1 points 2 days ago

You’re both stupid. How’s that?
