The Word "Y'all"

The use of "Y'all" is over used, in my opinion, and it's really used out of context by those who are from somewhere other than the south. It's a slang word that was created to mean "you all" or "you guys". It irks me when someone learns that I'm from Texas and they say, "Howdy, how are y'all". First of all, it's not really a Texas word, although we use it, second of all, you don't say "y'all" when you're only speaking to me, as in ONE FUCKING PERSON! You use "y'all" in a plural sense and saying it with the word "howdy" makes you look like an ignorant fool. We don't use that word in redneck fashion which is how I feel it's used when it's said by someone who really believes we all talk like that! Also, I don't use the word "y'all" so if you're saying it to me, to be cute, you don't know me well at all. I'm not saying, I'm just saying. With that said, I don't use that word because I'm the only Texan in my family and growing up my brothers and parents refused to conform to the "southern slang" use of words so I never picked them up myself. So, that's that. Don't use the fucking word to be cool, dude!
