Stands for you all. pretty much all southerners use it. "all y'all" and "all of yall" are both correct. I'm from houson and I use y'all all the time, even though I went to Yale

Y'all is a Southern-Created contraction of, "You," and, "All." Often misspelled, "Ya'll," which is so plainly uncorrect. The 'a' isn't a part of 'you'! I mean, that's like, 'i'ts' the 'T' being a part of 'is'!
Y'all come back now, y'hear!

Y'all is the contractive of 'you all'
It is plural, refering to two or more people. If you use it to refer to one person you will sound ignorant and any nearby Southern will know that you are not really from around those parts.
Very common in the South, it is rare to find someone (excluding Florida, and that's only because of all the Yankees down there) that doesn't use y'all.
Saying y'all makes so much more sense than the ever-popular you guys, you guyses, or even you all. It is much shorter and gets the point across much faster. And takes less breath.
It is never ya'll. The 'a' is not a part of you, it's a part of all (you wouldn't spell it out as youa ll, would you?).

Supposed to be a slang word for "you all", of which it is now used by 13-16 year old angsty white trash teens and sluts on the Internet. Originally used by somewhat more smarter and logical people that originated from the South called "Southerners"
A small group of people online: (States logical and straight forward opinion)
