I’m in a Trump country area of a northern blue state, so “y’all” probably has different connotations for me. Around here, the people who say “y’all” are the upper middle class folks whose dads have shiny current-year off-road pickups that they drive 10 minutes to work and back each day. They’re doing an affect thing. The more poor rural people tend to be very softspoken and have a dialect that’s distinct, but also audibly northern. So maybe the weird classism is just baked into my understanding of the word because it’s not the second person plural that my dialect uses by default.
Regardless, I am definitely reconsidering all this
Oh that's weird, but I suppose it's similar to a lot of places outside the south, where conservatives just picked up shit-tier country music in the last 15 years and started driving trucks
But I think the thing people think of usually when they hear y'all qaida is an association with southerners
Even "y'all" is stupid there because they are a bunch of fucking northeastern ivy league freaks or whatever
