y'all
noun

by Star S., Montana, USA, Jun 20 1999.
notes
- Standard American English doesn't have a 2nd person plural personal pronoun, so "y'all" is sometimes used to fill this gap. The term's use is mostly geographically limited to the Southern and Midwestern United States, as well as rural communities in other areas of the country. Sometimes prefixed with "all" even though it's redundant.
All y'all need to stop that.
by Star S., Montana, USA, Jun 20 1999.
