If anyone can find more pixels for me i would appreciate it.
Thanks y'all.
"Y'all" has wider reach than this map suggests, particularly in black and queer communities.

I don't think "Y'all" would be problematic. But I also offer "You peeps", I enjoy that one more in day to day conversation.
Is the difference between youse and youse guys the number of people involved? Similar to y'all and all y'all?
Nah you just replace you with youse. Example:
Happy birthday to youse, happy birthday to youse. Happy birthday this fucking guuuuy! Happy birthday to youse!
Where does this put Scott the Woz?
In what context(s)?
Should be fine π
If you live on the line, or move north/west, it's now "you all".
I'm from Maryland and I said "howdy" in New York and I got roasted by the CVS clerk for 2 full minutes. And then I said "do y'all have Tylenol" in hopes that she could point me in the direction. Another minute of her roasting me...

I have a VERY southern friend. He once said "y'all all".
Out here in the you guys zone making yall happen. 10 years and you guys will be nearly gone cause people get tired of having to ubsubltly tack on "and gals" or "gals and nonbinary pals".
What?
