Here's to that mellifluous, poetic word "youse". May it live a long and hearty

Ah, mate.... maaaattee...
There's a word already. I hear it quite often:
"yawl"
As in "Where yawl going?"
That would be "y'all" and is a mostly Southern US
expression, short for "you all," which is also often
used. (The intensive plural is "all y'all" :-> )
