Update on my 50/50 question

[stealth2]

And ya know what? I don't know what the flippin' heck a "yin" is, except it's not a part of standard English. So if you want to be taken seriously? "Speak" standard English.

Ooops! I better watch it with the "ya'll" on here!

Something, somewhere in this story just doesn't ring true.

I think y'all is pretty standard now. "Yin"? Is apparently regional. As is "fushy" (another thread).

 

[lillithsmith]

It is a word used a lot here in Pennsylvania. It is basically the southern version of "ya'll". which even the word "flippin'" is slang. therefore I suppose you should put "flipping" instead as well. so if you are going to preach to me about proper English then maybe you should use it as well?

I will try to stick with the word you as much as possible. Anyone who is from around here knows that "yins" is a word used to describe "you all".

The Judge had the letters from our daughters pediatrician as well as from my lactation nurse as to what was going on. When I first made my original post on here back in January, at that time I was strictly doing formula. It was not until about a week later when she went to see her pediatrician again that He suggested trying to "reactive" my production of breastmilk.

You can believe whatever you wish. You asked me what courthouse and what Judge. I have given you the information on that. Everything of what I have said is true and I just wanted to give an update of it. I did not say to anyone that it was 100% possible to happen. Some of you were the ones telling me it was less than 1% chance of occuring when I first posted back in January.

My goal was to update on MY situation. Not to be bashed or accused of being a liar.

Oh well.

As for slang? There is slang that is pretty standard and accepted (y'all or ya'll. Which is easily understood as "you all"). Then there is that which is very regional. Which is where "yin" fits. Y'all can be pretty easily parsed to "you all". Yin? It's not in any slang/urban dictionary that I can find, nor is it easily parsed into other words. So... yeah. Try to type in normal English, sweet pea.

OK. But your usage of 'yin' {meaning "all of you"} doesn't appear on that link. So your own link doesn't support your claim that it's common.

For what it's worth, I grew up in Pennsylvania and lived a good part of my adult life there (as well as regularly visiting relatives) and never heard 'yins' used.

Please stick to real English if you want to be understood.

Admittedly, my better half was born and raised in the 'Burgh - and recognizes "yins". He even uses it occasionally himself (largely when watching football - no huge surprise there).

I lived on the other side of the state and never once heard it though

Yins is specific to western PA. Us civilized types in Philly prefer "youse". It's one of the expressions that horrified all us Pitt freshmen back in the day.

I grew up in western PA. The correct pronunciation is "youins" (and even that is limited to a sub-segment of the population, typically very rural). I never once in my life heard anyone say "yins".

Western Pennsylvania slang for "You all"
Yins guys wanna' go down n' watch dem stillers play? Den we'll eat n'at

a Pittsburgh way of say you all

It does appear on that link if you learn how to read It states that it is a word meaning "you all" which is the meaning for "all of you". The bolded is in that link I placed.
