Do ya’ll over in West OZ say “ya’ll” too? There are several different forms of ya’ll over here in the states. First off, “Ya’ll” is a southern thing. Just so ya’ll know.

Yankees (mostly anyone who doesn’t come from the south, or who we don’t know) don’t ever say ya’ll. If a yankee does say ya’ll, they’re not fooling us. We still know they’re a yankee.

There are different forms of ya’ll. There’s the old south, polite “You All”. Then there’s just “Ya’ll” … a contraction of “You All”. Then there’s “All Ya’ll”. When someone says “All Ya’ll”, they’re usually referring to Yankees. Like “Where’d all ya’ll come from?” But it can be used in a positive way as well like, “All ya’ll come on over to the barbecue, Sunday.”

Oh, and if someone uses “ya’ll”, whatever you do, don’t refer to them as a ‘yankee’ or a ‘yank’ . Trust me on this.

Thanks for the rundown on your slang Fitz … personally I don’t use ya’ll, or any variation of it. We could be here for a long time going through Aussie slang, which doesn’t differ too much from the east coast to the west coast. Ariel lives roughly 1,700 miles away from where I am in the West, so here’s another great West Aussie Band … with 1,000 miles away.

It’s rooted mate. It’s dead as a dingo’s donger. Fair dinkum mate, it’s cactus. It’s a piece of piss to fix. She’ll be right mate. I’ve got a ridgy-didge one for ya at mate’s rates. It’ll cost you a slab.

Jacko

Pig’s arse mate. If I give ya a slab, you’ll be off quicker than a bride’s nighty.

Davo

Don’t crack a fat & carry on like a cut snake. Fair suck of the sav, I’m not as dodgy as dunny rat. It’s not worth a zack to me, so it’s yours for nuddy.

Here in the states we ‘root’ for the home team, means we support a football team, baseball team etc. I imagine in OZ it would have an entirely different meaning
