>>33280545"Y'all" is NOT and will NEVER be Southern and has never been part of the vernacular of the Antebellum South not will it be ever used by her true sons and one only needs to investigate the etymology of the word to know that I speak the truth and you are a damned liar. Right quick and other such expressions are prototypical holdovers of the aristocratic accent which predates the South itself from high society eastern coast England. Y'all is an abomination to a real Southener and is an utterance of the Texicano-Nashville transplant south with its origins traced to the irascible negroe. The southern accident has nigh vanished thanks to the slaughterhouse that was the northern war of aggression followed by a reconstruction which was nothing other than slow gallows for the South which erased most of the language and dare I say culture only to be replaced by vulgar artificial whismy fancied on the popular culture of yankees to further humiliate and stamp out what was once their rightful superior. Nowadays, the only REAL southern accent you will hear will be in the white enclaves around Savannah within 150 miles and "y'all" and "you all" will be absent from their vocabulary because of the simple fact it isn't southern. You can have your god forsaken lexicon, fake intonations and hillbilly sing songy folksy fake accent with absolutely no drawl, beer cans and bottles, belt buckles and ten gallon hats, carnal frivolities and ghettofied lifted trucks, football faggotry and shove them up your derrières for all I care but do not ever make the mistake of labeling any of this filth as Southern. Scalawag slang and carpetbagger culture. That is all it is and all you will ever be and my judgement willfully endorses prejudice against interlopers like you who would not have fooled anyone in the 1800s. You are a two bit yankee doodle dandy, a charlatan of the highest order and would rue the day you chose to "identify" as a southerner if by God's miracle we rose again.
