Would you geniuses quit clogging the intertubes with puns? You fancy it arch humor, but I find it pedestrian. Meanwhile the creationist hoards march in jackboot unison, tarsals pumping, swords drawn from shining aiglets. So get to work, loafers.

Do you think we could shoe-horn them into one post, or would we need a pair of pumps for that?

Edit to add: Damn you, damn you all to hell! I'm trying to write a nice sensible post on a Miocene hominoid, but y'all* keep dragging me away from it. Worse yet, I keep having to delete puns from it.

I'm all for the spread of the y'all meme to carpetbaggers and yankees, but it drives me crazy when some actor/actress is trying to pull off the accent and can't understand that y'all is plural, not singular.

Just what is the singular form you would use?

Where does "all y'all" fit into the scheme of things?

"Y'all" is singular
"All y'alls" is plural.
At least for folks from KY who live in OH.

The parts of the south I'm familiar with: Arkansas (where I was raised), Texas, Tennessee (but almost exclusively Memphis), Mississippi, and Alabama use "you" as the singular and "y'all" as the plural.  "All y'all" is used infrequently when one needs something expansive and inclusive of a large group (all of you).

Khan, I can't speak for Kentuckians as I've never actually met any to hear them talk.  Perhaps they've got a completely different set of rules.

See Ive always said 'yall' as a second person pronoun, but 'yalls' as a plural possessive.

Me: "When can we fit a committee meeting into yalls schedule?"
Prof 1: "... 'yalls'?"
Prof 2: "lol, wut?"

Even Mississippi people give me shit for that.

All I know of "y'all" is from the people I worked with (Wright-Patterson AFB).

When I lived in Knoxville, I don't think I ever heard the phrase all y'all used. It was just y'all and used for two or more people. I did hear a possessive form though.

In the Appalachians "you'uns" substitutes for "y'all".  By the time you get to Pittsburgh, this transmogrifies into "yinz".

A wombat would cost too much in postage. More likely a tiger snake, which are born pissed off.

I think it is only in Australia that we have conversations with neighbour's that we are lucky that we only have red bellied black snakes in the backyard and not tiger snakes

"Y'all" is fairly common in Missouri, but I had to go to Arkansas before hearing "All y'all".

I enjoy the way 'all y'all" has increased the variation in my profanity: "Well, fuck all y'all, then" has a satisfying "and the horse you rode in on" heft.
