The most Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke (ttrpg.network)

"Y'all" is plural "you" (at this point).

"All y'all" is an enhancer and clarification meaning, "every one addressed."

It is, also, based (and fun).

Y'all'dn't've is just next level stuff.

Yall would not have; negative form of y'all'd've.

'd = would n't = not 've = have

If y'all'dn't've upvoted this thread, I might not have seen it.

Also: cool to see the word grok.

I now grok!
