I had an ex that made fun of me non stop for saying "you all"

I don't think conservatism is about being rational it's about maintaining tradition or maybe morality, however it was defined by the previous generation.

Conservatism is about making it illegal for the rest of the world to exist in a manner other than the one that you personally want it to.

I've always used y'all when greeting strangers because of this very reason.

[-] Adi2121@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Tbh, I've heard more y'alls in the San Francisco Bay Area than in Texas (I've live din both). Granted I lived in an immigrant-heavy place in Texas that I didn't even live in for that long.

I am a Yankee from a state with a Canadian border.

I started saying y'all because it's ungendered!

[-] RanchOnPancakes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm Texan. I say y'all quite often. Subconsciously. But when I think about it, it always seems weird. Like if I TRY to use it then it always seems wrong.

Share this to scare a conservative

[-] Skoobie@lemmy.film 2 points 1 year ago

People should leave "y'all" alone. It doesn't belong to anyone. It is a natural contraction of "you" and "all" that several cultures have independently produced as part of their vernacular.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
