kinda like 'over-exagerating'. exagerating needs no over...

well, irregardless...

 

[cannabineer]

true. slang is slang, but it IS in the dictionary now, as is 'ain't' (contraction for am not) which is used incorrectly all the time... ain't it?

I knew someone who watched a child cuss thus: "Damn it to HALL hain't hain't hain't".
I think the youngster was told that "ain't" and its phonetic companions were bad words.

Brilliant adaptation of the info if you ask me.

That is simply the most extreme.

well, irregardless...

regardless, it's not regardless....

All y'all is just used for emphasis "Fuck all y'all"
Y'alls is like a possessive. "Is this dog y'alls?" really there should be another apostrophe but that'd look weird.

 

[StonedFarmer]

Did yhis just turn into english class? Da fuck is that?

 

[highyer]

[KLITE]

I thought y'alls was the plural or y'all

 

[cannabineer]

I thought y'alls was the plural or y'all

Typically the possessive ... "what of this crap is y'all's?"

 

[abalonehx]

All in all is all we are uh All in all is all we are uh All in all is all we are

All in all is all we are uh All in all is all we are uh All in all is all we are

 

[Skuxx]

the apostrophe fucks the word yall up. it's too lazy of a word for an apostrophe

 

[abalonehx]

That is a good fucking point.

 

[abalonehx]

All in all is all we are uh All in all is all we are uh All in all is
All in all is all we are uh All in all is all we are uh All in all is all we are

fuck is way more interesting

 

[cannabineer]

fuck is way more interesting

No. It has one vowel and no apostrophes. Y'all is way, way more appealing to a logophile ...

 

[Elwood Diggler]

no way. fuck is 100 times more a flexible word

 

[cannabineer]

no way. fuck is 100 times more a flexible word

It provides that appearance, but when you look at the various uses of fuck it clusters on sex, violence and failure.
Y'all is so much more inclusive, closer to the ineffable Tao. Can't eff it ... qed

can't get more inclusive than, "anyone got a fucking light?" the lighter never bothered anyone, wanted to fuck anyone or kicked anyone's ass for getting lost.
i suppose someone could get their ass kicked for not bringing the lighter but around here we just call em dumbfucks and start searching the fucking cushions

aren't too many words that can be used as a noun, verb, adjective, pronoun etc. it also cuts across cultures whereas ya'll is more regional. it's my favorite
