We'uns?

[grumbler]

The We is not as in 'wee' but we as in nous

  That meme will never die, will it?

Is we'uns like the hillbilly version of "we" (like y'all) ?

That is how I took it, the plural of y'all.

Yeah, it's basically the same thing as "y'all" except in the first person instead of the second person.  I think it used to be fairly common among elderly people with southern roots, especially elderly blacks from the rural south, but I don't think I've ever actually heard anybody use it who was born after WWI unless it was a deliberate attempt to be humorous or evoke a stereotype.

I think so, seems I have heard this down in LA. I will ask a southern linguist expert (redneck) friend of mine tonight.

Got a response from my linguist expert, I asked him if it was the southern version of "we".

Re: Hey Bax, I need your expertise.

yes my friend.  sorry you had to hear that.

for example, "we'uns family all the back to the civil war.  my great great great grandfather cecil fought in the 5th calvary.  he was big redneck like me."

I've never heard a Kentuckian say that... or anyone for that matter.  Maybe Ide/FB is just stupid?

Kentucky fails at even being rednecks.

Kentucky is a state in a constant state of fail.

Thank you, HERMANITO.

As far as Kentucky being Southern- western Kentucky and central Kentucky are Southern. Eastern Kentucky is Appalachian, which is not Southern. Northern Kentucky has long since been lost to northern interests.

Kentucky has always been a divided state, and never a particularly admirable one. Kentucky has never had anything to match the stately wonder of Charleston or the bustle and vibrance of Memphis- it is the tertiary South, and the fringe of civilisation.
