I really hate the word “folks” tbh
genuinely, could you elaborate?
Oh it’s just that like “y'all” and “folks” feel like really fake and hollow, overly friendly, like trying to create a community by calling it a community before doing any of the social work necessary to build a community. After typing all that maybe I’m overthinking it.
I had been using “y'all” just cause I like having a second person plural but after recent years I’m switching to the Philadelphia “youse”
Isn’t Philadelphia that one tiny area that says “yinz” for no comprehensible reason? Isn’t ‘youse’ like an old Brooklyn thing?
Yinz is Pittsburgh, Youse is Philly.
