Beechwood Chip Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I grew up in NYC, but I've started using y'all when I need to distinguish between 2nd person singular and plural. Nothing wrong with "y'all". Just 'cause it's regional doesn't make it wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpt life Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I spent a lot of time with some of the "you'uns" crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Ha! We say "y'all" around here, although it is pronounced more like "yaw". I lived on the East side of the Blue Ridge for about 5 years, never did get used to " you'uns". Never got used to "chili dogs" that were just chili on a bun, either.

OK, let's really get things started - what do y'all call a hoagie where you're from? NYC: hero Philly: hoagie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 In my area of England (Manchester) we would say "you's lot" and "what do you want on yer butty?" - must be a lot of people originating from Manchester in Chicago Here is a Manc dictionary for you - it may look like a foreign language (it does to me even though I was born here) but a lot of people use these words/phrases Note a lot of words have their first letters dropped in pronunciation so "hard" becomes "ard" for instance. - enjoy http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/mancunian-sayings-guide-common-words-6465030 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Missouri: Y'all...If you say "you'ns," you likely live in a trailer and have no teeth. A long sandwich is a sub. A hoagie is a type of bread...a small loaf or an elongated roll. Even the best sandwiches I've ever had I wouldn't classify as heroic. (I'm aware...at least I'm under the assumption, that "hero" is a bastardization of "gyro," so no history lesson required.) Also - and I know we've covered this before - but it's worth repeating: "Pop" is what happens when you stick a needle in a balloon. A sugary, carbonated beverage is called a SODA. Y'all are some weirdos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sugary, carbonated beverage is called a SODA. Y'all are some weirdos. Being from Chicago I should disagree, but I can't. After living in other parts of the country, I realize you sound like a moron when you ask for a pop. Almost as bad as in the south, where there call everything coke. "I'll have a coke" "What flavor" "Sprite." Speaking of soda, I love going to London and ordering a coke. It will always come luke warm so I ask for ice and receive one cube. Modern refrigeration is still a luxury over there it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Cindy Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Indy - same as Missouri - we have subs and sodas. Speaking of such, I recently had a Philly Cheesesteak at Penn Station East Coast Subs and thought I had gone to heaven. Maybe it doesn't compare to a deli on the actual East coast but for a chain it was damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwood Chip Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 (I'm aware...at least I'm under the assumption, that "hero" is a bastardization of "gyro," so no history lesson required.) I was ordering heros before I could read, and I first encountered a gyro when I was in college. I had always been told that the sandwich was called a hero because it was it was so much bigger and better than a regular sandwich. "Hoagie" is local to Philly; I'm told it has to do with the shipyards on Hog Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwood Chip Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I recently had a Philly Cheesesteak at Penn Station East Coast Subs Wow! I usually avoid any cheesesteak called a "Philly Cheesesteak". If I'm far enough from Philly that they have to specify, then they (usually) don't know how to make one. It's got to be prepared and eaten fresh - straight from the griddle to your hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 And to be clear, it is "yee-ro", not "jai-ro." Around here, order a "jai-ro" and you will get some greek spit in your tzatziki sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all are some weirdos. No, sweet carbonated beverages are 'Coke', no matter what flavor. To the previous generation, it was 'Co-Coler'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
