Yeah, I like your laughing seal avatar, Slomo.

I had to look 'yinz' up, have never heard of it untill now.

Yinz is a second-person plural pronoun used mainly in southwest Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh, but it is also found throughout the Appalachians. Yinz is the most recent derivation from the original Scots-Irish form you ones, which is probably the result of contact between Irish and English.

I have family up in the Pittsburgh area that I see every summer... by the time I leave, my "y'all" has changed to "yinz". lol
