Not in this part of the south. Y'all is the pural of "you" although sometimes used interchangably in referencing a singular individual as well. In the North East it's pronounced: "Youse guyz"!

We don't claim Canada for ourselves, too many FRENCH there!

HalfDone, back in 1980 I had a pick of 5 HRD's that were original and on the scale 1 to 10 they were 8 plus. Seller wanted $2,500 USD each and the wife (now ex-wife) wouldn't let me buy any. Off subject, how big is Harley down there? Are they a cult thing? Years ago my dad named them "walking grease rags", they were a ratty group back in the 60's.

to further the explanation a bit...

yall can be used singularly or plurally... when approaching a particularly lovely young lady "yall look fine today, honey"

when speaking in general to a group... " yall need to sit down and shat up" referring to those that might be listening to what you say (as in a teacher to students ...a general admonition required by school authorities but really just said to fullfill the rules before the match begins)

and can be used with all to provide emphasis " ALL yall better sit down and shat up or there's gonna be trouble !!!" used as an all inclusive adjective to interject the importance of the statement to anyone who might be in ear shot. ( this can and sometimes does include the students in the next three classrooms...depending on emphasis on ALL and volume)


this definition is one of many and can be expounded upon if needed...

later yall

John

and what the heck does this have to do with a ideal garage ?????

I can understand why she is now an ex-wife

Harleys are a BIG thing here.

It's a mix of the traditional harley guy's with what they have always built and lot's of cashed up yuppies with billet store bought crap.......same as the states really

I have always wanted to built a stripped down rigid knukle or pan, just as an around town bike, but the dollars are just crazy.

When I have a few $ I think I might try and find a mid 70's Shovel over there (not sure what $ they are fetching) and throw it into a rigid frame. Only way I will EVER be able to afford anything resembling what I want.

I think it was Seeley in Oz that was recasting G50 motors for the race clubs, "battle of the singles". Nothing can compare the sound, like a battles between a Manx and G50 at full song.

Actually, I always thought that the plural of "Yall" was "youse guys". But then I'm a Californian.

Ask Bubba.

Naw. "Like, Dude" is old school. It's not "whack" anymore. But the Valley Girl "Fer sure!" is still used by 13 year olds. And the Hula Hoop is big again.

Go figure...

When I was working in San Jose it always confused me when some one refered to a mixed group of men and women as "You'se guy's"

I always stood there thinking "Some of those guys are real funny looking. Their T shirts have bumps in them"

Maybe it was due to Silicon Valley being so close to San FranCisco. The guys are only interested in other guys

Anyway, it left more women for me. Living in CA with an Aussie accent was FUN.

John

Everything

The shed should be the centre of your life. That's why you need a bar and a pool table in there.

And because it is the centre of your life, conversational skills, good company and cool bikes are just as important as power, lights and tools.

Oh yeah..........you might need an old Ford truck in there too
If there is any room left
