I agreed. I grew up with "y'all" and "you all" in free variation with each other and now people tease me for saying "you all," either by people who think I'm saying "y'all" to be trendy, or people who newly use "y'all" and think I'm being pretentious. Also "folks." The whole "rural poverty barnhouse aesthetic" bugs the shit out of me, too. Like, that painted-poorly-on-purpose table doesn't make you look like a homesteader's wife; paint existed in the 1830s and they took a lot of pride in keeping their small plots very tidy. --- MLP Gen 3 was good.

I thought it was something black people say that became more trendy with white people over the last few years It was an Irish phrase brought over and Americanized by Scottish farmers that became popular in the south and then became more well-known in the North over time.

Dathrowed1 posted... If you go from a class perspective, gentrification makes sense. But class issues now have to have a racial cloud over them That's true, the TC would need to specify whether they're using gentrification in the general sense or in it's more colloquial use where it's specifically about white people moving into / taking something dominated by black people. But if they're using the latter definition, then y'all being AAVE is cultural appropriation in the first place, so there still isn't really a case to be made for complaining about other people using it. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
