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.


Yeah, people tend to lump the south together into one big, homogeneous place, but it's really not. There are subtle (and not so subtle) differences from state to state, and even across regions within a state. It's all good.

I've had gator a couple of times. First time in FL it was small gator "bites". With some dipping sauce it was OK. Last year a place in town had an appetizer special for fried gator tail. Big chunks of really chewy meat. Didn't care for it.


Probably need to roast gator tail a while to tenderize it a bit.
