Do you say "yawl", as in plural form of you?

[spidey07]

Well do you?

"What are yawl up to?"
"Where yawl going?"

 

[BigSmooth]

It's spelled "y'all" because it's short for "you all". And no, I don't say it.

 

[amdforever2]

Not from the south, I don't say it.

 

[SmoochyTX]

It's y'all. And of course I say it.

 

[MrDudeMan]

born in boston, first year 8 yrs in carribbean, next 15 in TEXAS (probably picked it up there), then the rest here in NoVA. i dont have an accent

 

[daveshel]

I'm not from the south, but I say it because it takes too many words to express the same thing otherwise.

 

[GTaudiophile]

As a GA boy for 15 years of my life, yes I do say y'all quite often.

 

[Brainonska511]

From NY, don't say it.

 

[homercles337]

Plural form of y'all is "all y'all." I lived in austin for a couple years so im an expert on this.

 

[Corporate Thug]

What do you expect. Spidey is from Louisville!

 

[40sTheme]

I say it (lived in South Carolina all of my life), but I neither:
A) Drawl it out
B) Have anything close to a Southern accent. My Mom is mostly Northern, and my dad lived his childhood in Illinois. They're where I get my accent from. I only say ya'll when it flows in the sentence, otherwise it's 'you guys'.
