1. Y'all? Really,

We are environmentalists but "y'all". That's what W used in his speech today. Really.

[Reterr]

2. I wish I could nominate this for stupidest post ever.nt

[Shakespeare]

7. Yeah, god forbid I use a regional colloquialism I've used all my life.

:eyes:

To assume that someone who uses the word "y'all" is less, intelligent, less informed or less sophisticated would be a very stupid assumption.

[Reterr]

8. I know

I think anyone who goes off on a tangent about "ya'all" in a thread on such a serious topic is probably significantly less smart than the people they are deriding merely for using a colloquialism.
Bush does it so anyone who does it must be an idiot...great logic :eyes:

17. You know the difference between Northern girls and Southern girls don't you?

Northern girls say you can and Southern girls say y'all can...

[Shakespeare]

18. If that's an attempt at a joke....

...it demonstrates the non-southern misunderstanding of the usage of the word y'all. :eyes:

[Lex]

20. Heh.

True.

And where does the term "youse" come in, I wonder?

At least y'all is clearly "you all." (Used in all instances in the plural, not ever a substitute for the singular.)

4. Ok I edited it!

Happy? Your priorities are stunning :eyes:

9. *Gasp* Someone used a vulgar vernacular!!1111!!

That's HUGH!!!1111!1!!

My heavens how SERIES!!!!111111!!!11

Fucking Christ. What a stupid comment.

Some DUers are from the south and use "southern" words. Deal.

I mean, really.

[Shakespeare]

11. He also used the words "the" and "week."

Horrors! I must expunge them from my vocabulary forthwith!

[maddezmom]

15. don't forget "folks"

I use that one all the time when referring to my parents, etc. and have been told I'm a freep based on that alone since GW uses it as well. :shrug:

[BeHereNow]

12. Kicking because it MATTERS, YA'LL!

Ya'll Ya'll Ya'll!!!!!!!!
Seriously, we are in big trouble folks.

Prepare for the global Katrina-i-zation of the people
on the planet by the global elite who could give a damn what happens
to the rest of us.

You can rest assured they have made their escape plans and the rest of us
are just going to be on our own to figure out how to survive.

Perhaps the Bush KKKabal will need a few of us to
mow their ranch in Paraguay?

13. Please. Don't worry about dying due to effects of global warming . . .

but use proper English for God's sake!

:sarcasm:

[BeHereNow]

14. Are Ya'll sayin' I aint using proper english?

ROFL....

Hey, at least we can still have a sense of humor about
our impending collective demise, eh?

Hell, I've been so depressed about all that is happening
that I will take any and every chance to smile.

The opportunities are so few these days.
To smile, that is.

It is seriously grim out there...yonder on the patch of road ahead of us.

16. Nothing to worry about. Commander AWOL & republicons are all over this

They are using Faith-based Science to pretend it's not true.

So everyone can shut up and sit down while the republicons count up their Massive Oil Profits.
