Southern 2nd person plural pronoun. Most concise and easily distinguished. Despite the assurance of some emails that have been passing around, "y'all" is plural. Only an absolute idiot would use it as a singular pronoun.

Where are y'all going?

3. (y'all) (491↑, 140↓)
contraction for you all. Despite what some think, it is not only used by hicks and the uneducated. People from all walks of life, traditionally the southern states use it.

Hey y'all, over here\!

Please shut up, y'all\!\!\!

5. (y'all) (385↑, 119↓)
A southern contraction of the term, "you all." And mind you, that we southerners get very offended when stupid people think anyone who says it is a hick. Shut the hell up.

"Hey, what are y'all doing tonight?"

6. (y'all) (213↑, 72↓)
The only way to address two or more people. Y'all sounds a heck of a lot better than youse guys and is more efficient as well. Only say it if you're from the south unless you want to get laughed at because yankees don't know how to pronounce it right. Ya'll is spelled incorrectly and "all y'all" is perfectly legitimate. Never use y'all to refer to one person--it makes things really confusing.

He was fixing to teach y'all a lesson. I was wondering what all y'all had in mind.

Stands for you all. pretty much all southerners use it. "all y'all" and "all of yall" are both correct. I'm from houson and I use y'all all the time, even though I went to Yale

What are y'all doin' tonight?

9. (Y'all) (79↑, 56↓)
Y'all is a Southern-Created contraction of, "You," and, "All." Often misspelled, "Ya'll," which is so plainly uncorrect. The 'a' isn't a part of 'you'\! I mean, that's like, 'i'ts' the 'T' being a part of 'is'\!

Y'all come back now, y'hear\! Haven't y'all clicked the link to my name yet to see my other definitions?\!

10. (y'all) (70↑, 56↓)
"You" in its plural form. Originated in the south but has equivalent counterparts in other languages such as German. For instance, in German one might say : "Wie geht's mit ihr?" or in English: "How's it going with y'all?" In German Ihr is an official part of speech...something to consider\! People who denouce the term "Y'all" are just hatin' on the more enlightened\! Oh yeah, and "Ya'll" is completely wrong. NEVER use it.

Y'all better come hit this\! Y'all want to go grab some sushi? So, what do y'all think about the legitimacy of the new Iraqi government. Don't y'all think Bush sounds like an ignorant asshole?\!

11. (y'all) (27↑, 14↓)
Y'all is the contractive of 'you all' It is plural, refering to two or more people. If you use it to refer to one person you will sound ignorant and any nearby Southern will know that you are not really from around those parts. Very common in the South, it is rare to find someone (excluding Florida, and that's only because of all the Yankees down there) that doesn't use y'all. Saying y'all makes so much more sense than the ever-popular you guys, you guyses, or even you all. It is much shorter and gets the point across much faster. And takes less breath. It is never ya'll. The 'a' is not a part of you, it's a part of all (you wouldn't spell it out as youa ll, would you?).

Phoebe: What're you doing tonight? Greg: Chris and I are going to the movies. We're seeing *insert good movie here* Phoebe: Y'all suck\! I've wanted to see that movie for forever\!

12. (y'all) (13↑, 8↓)

black guy: how y'all doing guy 2: get yo ghetto as outta hear. white guy: how y'all doing guy2: damn redneck..

13. (Y'all) (6↑, 2↓)
A combination of "You" and "All." This commonly refers to a large group of people.

Girl 1 and group: We're going to kick your ass, b*tch" Girl 2: Y'all [ain't] nothing but talk\!

14. (y'all) (10↑, 7↓)
In southern regions, a conjunction of the words 'you' and 'all' - typically used when refering to a group of people, either large or small in size. Sometimes also used when speaking to one person when referring to the listener and the buddies he usually hangs out with.

"Y'all crazy" "Can't y'all think fer yerselves?"

15. (y'all) (5↑, 5↓)
There are two ways to say y'all: the black way and the southern way. Y'all is the black way and yall is the southern way. Y'all is spoken with two syllables: ye-ALL. It can be heard up and down the east coast. It's just "ya" and "all" very close together. Yall is spoken with one long syllable: YAAAWWL. It's very lazy sounding and only unashamed southerners use it.

Y'all want to hear some sick rhymes? Yall want to hear some banjo pickin? Y'all want to roll in my Caprice? Yall want to ride on my tractor?

16. (y'all) (0↑, 1↓)
Inexplicable contraction for "you" and "all", typically cited by non-Southerners as the correct way to spell "ya'll" (which is actually a contraction of "ya" (common American English vernacular for "you") and "all").

I know better than Southerners about their own colloquialisms - it's "y'all", you dumb hicks\!\!\!

17. (y'all) (1↑, 2↓)
combination of you and all

Y'all going down to the rodeo tonight?

18. (y'all) (47↑, 49↓)
A second-person pronoun that, when in the South, is incredibly common. It makes much more sense than "You Guys" and other counterparts, for it takes only one syllable and, therefore, less breath. Can mean one person or several people, but usually refers to the latter. Sounds utterly ridiculous when said with an accent other than Southern or a plain American, all around accent. Oft times mocked by the rest of the country, while we southerners laugh at their wanting of "a grit" and their accents.

Y'all not comin' to school? So... y'all want to bring your girlfriend? Y'all's accent's funny.

19. (y'all) (37↑, 61↓)
A southern corruption of the term, "[yous guys]." Most people who use the expression "y'all" are either rednecks or African-Americans. However, it is more often heard from rednecks. The expression becomes even more ignorant when it is changed to "all y'alls." Y'all is not a real word. It is formed by dropping the ou from "you all." Even worse, "y'all is often used with a double negative, as described in the example below. This word is the epitome of ignorance.

Y'all don't like movies or nothin'?

20. (y'all) (3↑, 29↓)
1) A contraction of “you all”. 2) A word usually either said by black people or a lone white guy in the company of blacks. 3) A word with a lot of bizarre definitions on Urban Dictionary.

Aside from Florida, I’ve never stepped foot in the south in my life. However, I hear and say the word “y'all” every day at work.

21. (y'all) (40↑, 80↓)
Not at all a hick term. How is this worse than "you guys", which is used out west even when those being addressed are not "guys." Most, including highly educated, Southerners use y'all. However, it is not only used as a plural - can and is used to address one person. In fact, in Texas, some folks use a plural for y'all: "all y'all."

Y'all want to go to the movies?
