    “y’all” its so wierd how people normalized such a cringe word, and it was originally laughed at because people who often say it dont seem so intelligent.

    also the words “academic incest” which is really wierd an cringe, it suppose to describe getting more than 1 degree, usually a grad and a UNDERGRAD In the same university.

      As an intellectual from The South, I’m taking it back. Y’all is a missing part of speech in the English language and follows known patterns. I use it with pride.

      However, saying that out loud I realize I have opened myself up to w’all and will have to give that a try.
