If anyone can find more pixels for me i would appreciate it.
Thanks y'all.
We are afraid to use common greetings now? How about we all refer to each other as "carbon units"?

Second person never has a gender in English. Saying "you" should also be fine, or "thee" if you feel like getting your quaker on.
Special requests notwithstanding - the platinum rule here is just to accommodate whatever you reasonably can.
Fwiw, second person is fine as long as there's no misgendering... It's like calling someone by their name
How you fuckers doing, eh?
Having exported myself from the deep South to Yankee land, "Y'all have a good one!" never fails to brighten the day of someone working a cash register.
In general, folks up here really like southern politeness. They think sugar wouldn't melt in my mouth. I get stopped in stores to talk all the time. Pretty frequently, they just give me a discount. I thought Yankees were supposed to be rude, but they're actually really nice in public.
"Y'all" has wider reach than this map suggests, particularly in black and queer communities.
Where's my fellow "yo'd'll"s at
Your what now
Oh....you know π
Youse LOL, almost lost it when I heard it one time
My boss says βyouβllβ
grow up more on the west side of the US and I'd hear y'all every day lol. but more relevant, I don't think I've ever met a trans friend who would ever get offended being called y'all, I know I wouldn't haha
P.S. hey trans people, y'all cool asf <3
Maine I think loops back around to yβall territoryβ¦
As someone that grew up in y'all territory in Kansas, it's wildly easy to connect to people from Maine!
If you live on the line, or move north/west, it's now "you all".
I'm from "you guys" but I've lived in "y'all" and now I'm forever team "y'all," regardless of where I'm living.
It's the best export from the south, except maybe Texas brisket and pecan pie.
...y'all roughly correlates with coke, although there are some deep pockets of soda-water in the back country...
