[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yeah, vw, that's wicked cool. Arizona, once again, has nothing to add besides fucked-up shit like "Muggy-own" and "Cassa-grand" Whatever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does "all of you" not convey the same thing ?

"all y'all" means "all of you, and your immediate families," right?

It's 'you guys' ...

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I've always used "all y'all" as sort of an "everyone, yes, EVERYBODY, and that does mean you, too."

I'd say so, yeah. As in my favorite phrase in The Corner, found in the local Social Service office: All of y'all that work in here can go fuck yourselves. That's when I knew Simon really spent all day watching people apply for benefits. Because that anonymous person captured something, imo.

Punishingly Intricate

Does "all of you" not convey the same thing ?

It literally means the same thing but doesn't have the same feeling.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

"all y'all" means "all of you, and your immediate families," right?

Never heard that one. Susan's take is more my own.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The only Southernisms I still use (I think) are y'all (perfectly good word) and "going to".

"Going to" is a Southernism? As in "I'm going to cook some dinner?"

There isn't really an equivalent to "all y'all" in standard English is there? Nothing that works as well anyway.

Does "all of you" not convey the same thing ?

I prefer the piquant "youse."
