Former Lord of Winterfell Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Not as bad as "you'ns".Which is further contracted to "yinz" by the mouth-breathers in Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blisscraft Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Meh. . . :ack: I agree with the addition of the words "slacks" and "panties." :ack: :ack: ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteGabriel Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Not as bad as "you'ns".Actually this puts me in mind of one that drives me nuts.Usually it comes up on reality TV shows. A person is talking about their relationship with their boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse and says something like, "The thing about Mary and mine's relationship..."That's nails on a chalk board to me.

Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I hate when people use the phrase, "work flow". I've also heard, "church flow" and wait for it, "nail salon flow". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowDogJen Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Please tell me what this means. You ones? Young ones? Something else entirely?Yeah, I think it's you ones. It seems as though you ones evolved to you 'uns, which mutated horribly to you'ns (can be pronounced with either an oo sound or a short u, as yuns.) That's my theory, anyhow.Actually this puts me in mind of one that drives me nuts.Usually it comes up on reality TV shows.

I tell them there are gold mines and diamond mines but no it's mines. I think they're, whaddyacallit, overcorrecting maybe? because "It's mines!" follows the same pattern as "It's his" and "It's hers" do.It's certainly unacceptable for an adult to say it. In kids, it's kind of cute. (I wanted to write "kinda" but I dare not!) :wideeyed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it used interchangeably with y'all? Is it a regional variant of y'all? Are they used in different situations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
