Subject: Re: y'all, youse, gyno-Americans



Y'all seem to think that the beginning of this sentence is limited to

the southern U.S. Isn't it also used in New York? Up there they

pronounce it "youse" as in "youse guys" are outta your turf. Come to

think of it I have never heard it used referring to females.

As I recall, "youse" is also used in Chicago.

How true.

"Youse" is as common as dirt around here.
