Get outta here with your 'f for “if”
Not a contraction, but still a recognized linguistic device called a clitic! That’s safe to Google, I promise. In this case it’s a proclitic

Yeah, it would be y’all’d’ve if I’d’ve at most.

Close. Move the apostrophe from before the I to after.
nope. the apostrophe replaces the “wou” part of “would”
Nope, nope, nope. “Would” is not contracted as “'ld,” and then there would be no “I.” That’s a capital I, not a lowercase l.
you all would have if would have?
You really oughtn’t’ve.
It’s missing an apostrophe after the I.
Being from the south…I’m just trying to look back and remember if I’ve ever used this…it’s plausible
Is this how Gaelic was born?
Where/since when is 'f a thing?
Fuck’f I know
Always, 'round these parts
English is becoming polysynthetic and I am here for it

The South is out of control.
lol boo didn’t even try asking if it’d float, they just mainlined pure hopium and casually threw it out there “Why yes, ‘f’’ is part of a balanced, healthy contraction used by billions everyday!”
Wrong.
Not a contraction, but still a recognized linguistic device called a clitic! That’s safe to Google, I promise. In this case it’s a proclitic
Sure, I agree with that, and tbf a respondent in OP’s pic did say it’s almost a complete sentence of contractions, but I felt honor-bound to satirically gatekeeper something that’s fun to screw around with. Language is gonna language, believe me, I’m aware.
