She said "y'all"?

[little_giant]

I was just about to comment that she lost me at "y'all".

I'm from the South, pretty sure I've never heard a British person say y'all in my life lol. David's not even from the South so I doubt she picked it up from him

It’s def the internet influence cause everyone uses it.

I really wanna hear how a lot of non-Americans saying it sound in their accents.

One of the senior citizens at my work pronounces it "yowl" in his thick mexican accent but I think he's just fucking with us, he knows how to say it 🤣

Sort of related but I've been obsessed with tiktoks of people speaking other languages with thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick southern drawls. There's a really handsome dude who does a whole monologue about ranching in Texas flavored Punjabi and... whew. *fans self*

She tweeted it, she didn't say it. I did chuckle trying to imagine her saying it in a britsh accent tho

The nepo babies y’all should be worrying about are the ones working for legal firms,the ones working for banks,and the ones working in politics, If we’re talking about real world consequences and robbing people of opportunity. BUT that’s none of my business.

Ah I should’ve read lol, ONTD Doesn’t Read strikes again

[masktaster]

I can't speak to how she's using it but at my company it's one of the preferred terms to "you guys" as it's considered more inclusive when talking to a group of ppl

[champagnexdream]

Oh same, I just meant I can’t imagine her saying it with her British accent lol but I see now that she tweeted it

[tailzz0666]

we say it here in england to its just pronounced differently lol its kinnda like a mashup between yule and yarl but the l is a w

[champagnexdream]

My brain just exploded lolllll

[tailzz0666]

pretty much any L in an english accent that isnt at the start of the word or followed ends with an ee sound will sound like a W unless you are a toff or a toff in deninal about being a toff.

[squidlord]

LMAO! The journey my brain took from yule > yarl > yarw.

[tailzz0666]
