So instead of saying, 'what are you all doing at the moment?', I would say, 'What are youse all up ta?'
The plural of you is you...where I was raised saying "y'all" is so looked down on that people won't even say "you all" for fear of someone thinking they said y'all. So we often say "you guys"
Where I come from y'all is 100% normal and if you say you guys or, heaven forbid, yous guys like a Yankee you will be laughed at. We have one lady from New York that works here and we actually hafta translate sometimes for her. We were giving out popsicles to the customers the other week and when she asked them if they wanted an ice pop they didn't know what she was talking about. Between her and the other corworker that is from South Africa calling them ice lollies our poor customers were so confused. I had to keep going behind them and telling the customers what they meant lol
