    Your face when you go to the store to buy groceries, only to find that the prices have increased again.

        I think people would’ve felt it more natural if I wrote “all of y’all” instead, but I thought the “of” was unnecessary.

          But you wrote the slang correctly! Unfamiliarity with the slang is an opportunity to educate about our language.

          (Source; we been sayin’ all y’all since before y’all non-Southerners were even sayin’ y’all.)

            I know, but as someone who has English as a second language I am also aware of the fact that “all y’all” won’t necessarily make sense to people lol

              If you’re practicing a localized dialect, and you are, there will be slang that doesn’t make sense to some. All of y’all would sound extremely weird to many people from the American south.

                Oh totally. My explanation was more for the benefit of those like me but who aren’t familiar with the expression.

            It’s not a language as much as a mouth full of chew and a belly full of moonshine.

              Most people I know call it “dip,” but I’m pretty sure there’s less dip and more meth.

        I love that this is both amusing and completely factual.

        I’m a Brit so it’s not something I can use without sounding odd, but y’all’s my favourite thing to come out of American English since ok.

      It’s for when you’re referring to more people than every single person that you’re referring to.

      See: ATM machine, a machine that dispenses automated teller machines; PIN number, the number that must be used in order to use a personal identification number; NIC card, a network interface card that a NIC uses to access a network interface.

        Not sure what the correct way to write the contraction is, but I assumed it was short for ‘all of you will’ when used in this context

          To be clear, we are picking apart common vernacular and lingo, but generally, “y’all” is a contraction of “you all”, making “all (of) you all” rather redundant, but most probably used for emphasis.
