I'm pretty sure he was just mocking Tyr's ignorance dude.  :)

I do not use "y'all."  Evidently I sound enough like a rube to you bigoted cocksuckers anyway.
You don't sound like a rube... you just sound like you're from South Carolina, which isn't an inherently bad thing despite your inevitable vehement protests to the contrary. :)

It's interesting that, in Britain, "y'all" has a racist connotation.  In the American South, everybody speaks Suthrun, except the Yankees and the Asians.  The accent has no racial affiliations at all.

Outside of Tyr, "y'all" has no racist connotations for Brits at all. Anyone who has ever watched a film set on the south, or listened to hip hop or heard an interview with a black person from the south knows that it's a non-racial part of the dialect. Outside of the south it seems to be used more by black people than white (going by music, TV etc)

I started using it in australia, but they got it from US country music culture (I was out in the pilbara and maranoa when I was there)
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Bubbler was the one that confused me the most when I moved to Massachusetts. Kids stepping out of class to ask if they could go to the bubbler. :wacko:
Its pronounced 'bubblah'.

Not really, no.  "Y'all" still serves the same function.

Tyr is to language as DSB is to the law.  :cool:

Thankfully we didn't not have affectation in central mass. Which was good as I was confused enough on how to say Worcester.

Well do recall that DSB generally pulls that authority out on a great many subjects.

Maybe if your mom drank during pregnancy.

Never heard Wisstah.

It is said but I'd say probably the least common of the 3.

IIRC 'Woostuh' was probably the most common one.
