No "Y'alls" is possessive as in "Is that y'alls truck?"
You really have to get this grammar thing right. Didn't your "grammar"
teach you anything?


The possessive form of 'y'alls' is 'y'all's'. You left out an important apostrophe.

"Is that y'all's truck?"

If the truck ownership was plural, then it would be, "Is that all y'alls' truck?"


Going to a Waffle House in Mississippi once doesn't make you a "y"all" expert. I was born and raised in SC. You wouldn't hear that here, except maybe from some tiny percentage of the population that was *really* backwood and uneducated. I certainly don't hear at the office or out in public, even from the natives.


I spent a whole, lovely year in Columbus, GA, eating at the cheapest places I could find. Never ate
anything in Mississippi, although I wouldn't mind trying some salted alligator tail.
