Yeah but "y'all" makes more sense than "yinz." "Y'all" is short for "you all" which is totally understandable. "Yinz" isn't short for anything.

YEAH well that s what we said.

"Yinz going to the store?"

Doesn't make much sense but forget about it.

every little area of the world has it's own little perculiarities, and dialect

no one says y'all around here
here we really have a mish-mash of british and american terms, and some that are just plain old canadian

I'm guessing that "Yinz" must come from "You'ns" which, while attrocious grammar and english, is at least vaguely understandable.

for some reason I want to think you'ns is cajun. maybe I'm wrong though.
my dad says this all the time, he means it ito be funny, but at this point it's just how he talks, haha..he also has replaced "yours" with urine...which he really thinks is funny. "Is this urine?" and he just cracks himself up...

I allways thought you'ns was from the kentucky tennesee part of the world my self. I think i head it a bunch when i went hunting down there with tugg and his pappy.

some folks around here say "youse"

like, "hey youse guys, come over here"

That's almost new yorker speak

-Arlos

yup

it's typically trades type folks that use it, no clue why

Better than hey yew keeds

I've all but butchered my New England accent.

It's an affront to my senses. It comes out when I least expect it (drinking).

Why do you care? Doesnt make sense to me that you would be bothered to talk like where your from. Im from michigan . I talk like im from michigan.

You are, obviously, proud to be from Michigan.
I, on the other hand, hate Texas with every fiber of my being, despite having lived most of my life there, and consider it to be one of the great assholes of the USA, hence my not wanting to emulate anything having to do with the state, including "speaking" it's fucked up language.
I enunciate my words properly, and have taken great care to not integrate the "twang" into my speech.

Honestly. Fuck that shit right out the window.

I had the misfortune of living in Kansas when I was younger, and started to pick up the local accent, much to my parents' horror. About all I remember of the accent was to end words with an "uh" sound. Like tomato or potato came out as if they were spelled tomatuh and potatuh.

Fortunately, such hideous accentage has been long since purged from my speech patterns.

You still have an accent Harri.

I've gotten rid of mine, just a couple of words remain and they kick out hardcore when drunk.

Was at a cisco course a bit ago, and we had an instructor from "Arkansawr", which is apparently next to "Missourah"


it was kind of funny, in that he actually had no clue where he was in North America (when he was here I mean)

boil a bag of egg noodles and drain; add a can of cream of chicken soup, a (drained) can of tuna, however much sour cream you prefer, and salt/pepper to taste. mmmm.

good call

I make the same thing, except once it's all mixed together, I grate some cheddar over top, sprinkle a bit of parmeson on top, then bake it for 15 mins(or until cheese is uber bubbly)

That sounds good. We do it the cheap way, mac and cheese, cream of mushroom and tuna. Its yummy. If you like tuna that is

Unlike you, I abhor butchering the English language.

I've lived in Oklahoma all my life. I have a similar accent that is atrocious.
