Lady Yan Yan, the Berlin Zoo's female panda, dies of constipation in the midst of Knut-mania at the zoo. If the elephants start dying, we're going to have to take a hard look at Knut's nighttime activities. He's totally poisoning the other animals, y'all!

I'm sorry, but folks North of the Mason-Dixon line may not use "y'all". It's just not done. You do have at your disposal "yous guys".
Actually, though I don't consider myself a Southerner by any means, my part of New Jersey is south of the Mason-Dixon line. We were Southern-sympathizers in the Civil War and everything. "Youse guys" is more of a North Jersey/Brooklyn/Guido thing. A clear "you guys" is more our style. But I'm a dialectical basket-case who breaks out with a little Southern twang anyway, so "y'all" comes out of me naturally.
Haha. Yes Frank is a dialectical basket-case. "Y'all" sounds 100% natural from his mouth.
After all, "are you Southern, British, or, like, gay?" =P
I, however, don't say either y'all or "yous guyses". (Gotta add that extra "es" in there because, yes, that is how some people say it, lol).
I'm partial the the fully annunciated, and correctly pronounced "you all" and "you guys". =P
For example: "You all aren't going to put sprinkles in your soda, are you? That's wicked nasty. It gives me the wiggins, hardcore. For real, you guys."
And, yes, he's poisoning the other animals, FOR SURE! lol
Thank you, Cindy, for the backup! Though you're a bit of a dialectical oddity yourself, what with your sprinkling of Boston (paaaaahk the caaaaah in Haaaaahvaad Yaaaahd!) from your mother.
Yeah, I don't talk normal at all.
Their's the bits and pieces of my Mom's muted Boston accent, and then all the accents and phrases I assume I picked up from my babysitter, the TV.
At least I don't say "I-dear" (idea) and "Terlet" (toilet) like my father sometimes does, lol.
