History lesson time! ✨

The word y’all is a contraction meaning you all. It was born out of the Scots-Irish phrase “ye aw.” 

It’s popular in the South because of the heavy Scots-Irish roots found below the Mason-Dixon Line. 

The word y’all doesn’t belong to a race - it belongs to a region.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk, Y’ALL! 💫
