Am I on crack here? WTF does "y'all" have to do with being a Klansman?

Geez. Like replacing it with a midwestern accent is any better. She replaces "y'all" with "you'se guys"

You know everyone in the South wears a white hood and robe, right? I saw it on Jerry Springer. :P

And now for a serious response...

Is she trying to forget where she came from or what?

I'm an Italian Jew hybrid from New York and the upshot of all the years I lived in Florida is that I occasionally let slip a "Y'all."
All this time, I had no idea I was condoning lynchings and burning crosses...

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Seriously! It's insane. "Yous guys" is SO much more intelligent than "y'all."

F'real. I have issues with a lot of the viewpoints of a lot of Southerners, but to link linguistic idiosyncrasies with those viewpoints is a bit much. I suppose I should link "youse guys" with mafia snuffings.

I say "y'all" sometimes, and I'm a damn Yankee. ;) (That's assuming Illinois counts as Yankeeland.)

It's true! The first time you said "y'all," you lost a hundred IQ points and most of your morality, you vile sinner.

[albert71292.livejournal.com]

With that logic, The Beverly Hillbillies("Ya'll come back now, you hear!") would have been racists...

You Love Satan!!!!

[diamond-j.livejournal.com]

My morality has been gone for a while.
If anyone sees it around, let me know.


Vile sinner. I love it!

Good ol' Southern-style immorality is so much fun. ;)

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

As well they should. Californians are genetically incapable of prejudice, of course.

...floorboard of your truck.

excellent.

I hate those "I'm a feminist but I'll pretend I'm not for 5 minutes so you can hold a door open for me" bitches!!

She can shove her pee-caaaaaaaaaaaaans up her dainty little ass.

Oh my god, when did my mother get a live journal and how did you find it?!

She's exactly the same--hates being Southern and goes out of her way to erase every bit of it from herself. It's so sad. She has no clue why I love Georgia so much.

And yeah, pee-can is rampant in South Georgia. My mom's sister used to yell at her sons in her thickest southern accent, "a pee can is somethin' you pee in, not a nut!"

I've been meaning to tell you that I think you'd like my friend Angela's journal, lastcallforcorn.

Then there's her inevitable response... "Oh, you don't understand!" *sniff*

I wrote a long and sour retort but I see that community must be screened.

I doubt it will see the light of day.

[ex-sinnie785.livejournal.com]

oh, he/she/it just hates his/her/its self. to really go off that hard and heavy on a fucking dialect is the epitome of having a really big stick wedged sideways up the ass.

i've NEVER thought "y'all" indicated ignorance. and the southern drawl? i know it makes me creamy. :)

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Seriously. And motherfuck anyone who would dis Jed Clampett.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Suckers better recognize.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

For REAL. Like, exactly which way do you want it?

[albert71292.livejournal.com]

And Jed was probably the nicest person ANYONE would want to meet!

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Added Angela. :)

And yeah--I just don't get the "OMG, if people know I'm Southern, they'll think I'm an idiot" mentality. If you're an idiot, inquiring minds are going to KNOW, regardless of where you're from. ;)

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

It went through. Big applause for you, my dear. :)

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

THANK you. Homething's got a sizable board up its ass.
