What's new

Y'All, Youse and You Guys

I'm very much so a user of y'all...and if there's a lot of people..all y'all..haha..nothing like redundancy.
 
I took it and must admit to having a few answers of 'no word for that'--we don't have drive through liquor stores, you can only buy liquor in the liquor store and beer at the beer store over here.

I am from Southern Ontario, as in I can wave at Monroe and Detroit Michigan depending on where on the shoreline I am, lol. The cities I got were Seattle, Boise, and Fresno.
 
I failed. it pin pointed me all over the place. Miami and New Jersey. Two places I've never lived...

I have to say though, growing up in Pittsburgh we said yins guys, for you (plural). And my mother from Rhode Island used to say Red up the room for clean up the room, my dad from Altoona had a few local sayings too. We also spent a lot of summers catching creyfish down the crick...

Living in Quebec for 40 yrs, I've cleaned up lot of the true American slang, but replaced some with things totally Canadian, like Eh?

We also don't have drive through liquor stores or beer stores in Quebec, but the only way to buy beer in quantity in Pennsylvania is from a beer distributor which is usually drive through so they can load the case right into your car... LOL.
and as far as I know they are just called beer distributors...

It's always y'all for me.
Took the test and it's crazy. My 3 cities listed were Nashville, Huntsville, and Chattanooga. I used to live in Alabama, not far from Huntsville and I am now on the outskirts of Nashville so I would say the test is pretty spot on LOL.
 
I live in Chicago, but got Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Lexington, KY. BUT... I grew up in SW Missouri, so maybe that's where those cities are coming from.
 
I took it again. Interesting, the questions were different. It guessed Des Moines and two places in West Texas. Never been to any of them.
 
I always say you guys. I tried to take the quiz, but at the end it said there was an error, so I didn't get to see the results. I have a feeling I was all over the place though based on what I saw following each question.
 
"You guys" for me...

It hit spot on for me, New Jersey. LOL! Through and through! Apparently, mischief night is not used anywhere else. Plus, sneakers is very northeast. lol!

I have to go back to see the penny thing.
 
I have always said y'all. It wasn't until my cousins from Chicago would come down to visit us that I really knew different ways of saying it.

Definitely a little eerie that it got it right. The quiz pinpointed my hometown Birmingham, AL and Montgomery and also Augusta-Richmond, which is the state line of GA and VA.
 
I never saw the penny wallie.... I took it twice. Can someone tell me what that is? lol!
 
I say you guys.
And I've done the quiz before and now again. It told me New York, Jersey City and Glendale. The last time I believe Boston was my third city. I entirely blame my tv/movie/YouTube watching.
 
Not exactly a y'all, but I had to share. My husband pronounces spatula with a pirate-y ARRRR sound on the end. :rofl

So it's spatularrr. SMH
:giggle
 
I say y'all always! Fun little quiz... I got one city about an hour and a half from here (Greensboro, NC), but the other two are pretty far away (Oklahoma City and Little Rock).

MINE TOO!!! where's your hubby from? Mine is from the Eastern shore of Maryland.
 
He's a Jersey boy. Though he's been in Texas since he was a teen. I still tease him that he cannot still be as fast talking as he is, having lived in Texas longer than he ever lived in Jersey. :rofl

Ha Ha!!! My grandmother said "spatularrrr". (She was mostly Virginia, New Jersey, Montreal.) She also said some other fun words with an "r" sound on the end where it truly didn't belong. Though, of course, I cannot think of the words now!
