Saying it in text is stupid, saying it out loud is perfectly acceptable and often encouraged in this part of the world to show others that you associate and empathize with the working classes

It's dumb (And frankly, pretentious in spite of its origins) as hell to use it in written text. I would imagine that verbally it's not that bad though.
Y'all is bad too but it doesn't have the "what the fuck is this word" disadvantage because it was a meme before memes were a thing (being the stereotypical "HEY I'M A US SOUTHERNER" tic in media) so more people tend to know it. But it's still bad. ... Copied to Clipboard!

No, but at least seems like it has the meaning it wants to get across. I'm not sure if it has a specific etymology either.

I grew up in the Pittsburgh area.Nobody even says jagoff here. It's literally the biggest misnomer I have ever seen. People say jackoff. Becausing jacking means pissing for Pittsburgh people and saying "You are really jacking me off" is a typical thing to hear here when someone is pissing someone off. No one says jag. That said, if you think yinz is stupid then you think y'all is stupid also. They are both just made up basically contractions used to express the you plural.

Except "you all" is something that almost everyone says and "you ones" is something that almost nobody saysI have never in my life said you all. Want to know why? Because we say yinz which has the same usage. If you don't have a problem with that, what is the difference. Sounds like people with superiority complexes who have to be better than others over their word uses when they perfectly make sense and are fine. I bet you are a real hoot when you tell people they are morons because "lol" means "laughing out loud" and not "lots of laughs" that some use it for and call people morons because as kids their made up words for Christmas songs said "football" instead of "monopoly" for a reindeer game.b Lol. --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik Currently playing: Spider-Man (PS4), Quantum Break (X1) ...
