Where does this put Scott the Woz?

I'll throw in "folks" as another gender neutral option. I say "you folks" all the time, especially in professional contexts. I'm not from the South, but I have family there so y'all is a part of my vocabulary. I use it in more informal situations pretty commonly.

I'm from New Jersey and have never heard anyone unironically say "youse guys". Side note we also don't call it "Joisey".

I’m from Australia and I’ve started calling all groups of people yall because it’s gender neutral… very unaustralian term, and I love so much the irony of iconic southern terms being used to support trans activism

I'm German and I use y'all all the time when speaking English. it's funny, most of my English is from the internet so it's the most crazy mix of english

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

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

When talking about a group but only one individual of the group is present you can still use y'all.

This needs a line going up the Appalachians for the "You-uns" belt.

And somewhere there's "yinz".

I was just about to point out that the map is missing a small "yinz" enclave around Pittsburgh/Johnstown

Y'all = you all, which is gender neutral.

Also that map is missing the Chicagoland y'all exclave.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Only if you man in it a "you people" kind of way - like y'all need to stay with your own kind- or something like that.
