    In the Carolinas the generic "y'all" becomes "youn's"

    What does it say that my reaction was "owie ow ow. I hope not all the bottles broke so she has a beer to ease her pain"?

    "Youn's" is a collective term for a group of women? That's cool. I want that in my dialect; I wonder how long I'd have to live in the Carolinas before it started to sound right.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    In the Pittsburgh area it's spelled "yinz," and it's gender neutral.

    Hey yinz guys - get in here it's time to red up the house..... someone spilled a whole box of gum bands. I'll give you some pop and chipped ham sandwiches when you are done. (3 guesses where I grew up)

    My foot feels your pain... my shower door came off and landed right on my left foot a couple of weeks ago. Nothing broken, I can walk on it without any pain, but I had some nice black toes for a few days and my foot still swells up after a day in my work shoes.
