Getting close to the move

I was always under the impression that  "Y'all" was YOU and "All Y'all" meant all of you....now y'all have me cornfused. :-)

Now, "Y'all" is kind multi purpose in my experience.  Kinda a polite "You" only it makes you feel like you are part of a group, included, ya know!  Even south of the Mason-Dixon there are variation in the dialect, what's proper in one county might be down right offensive on the other side of the ridge.

First time I heard someone say "all y'all" I had to have her repeat it 3 times before I knew what she was saying!  In Minnesota we just go with the generic "guys".  

'Hey, guys!  Stop playing in that camper!'
'Which one of you guys brought the beer?'
'C'mon, guys. Time to go.'

... you get the idea.  Right, guys?

You guys crack me up!;) :J
 
 
We say guys out here too, and it caninclude girls.  More common, though, is referring to someone (guys and girls again) as dude, as in "Yo dude, nice accent!" :sombraro:

My 3-year-old does a mean Crush impersonation, DUDE!

OK, back to the original topic now.  My entire house is sitting in the driveway being loaded on a truck :eyecrazy:

Sometime tonight the DSL will stop working :mad:

A little cleaning in the morning, then we are on the road.

I'll try to check back in later tonight.

One more thing...

Where was Elisa with all this y'all and you-uns business?  She's usually right on top of all the southern lingo, what with fallin' off that turnip truck when she was just a wee un!  :p

Have a safe trip.
