    Y'all to me is not defining with the South.

    There is a drawl that is required to mark the South and where in the South can change that dramatically.

    I am use to a Western sound to it. We don't have a drawl like the South. But we have a sound to ourselves that is a mix of North and Texas. I guess a little of the Spanish accent if you are from that part of time.

    I hardly ever hear the word y'all out loud in California.

    Although today a few teenagers had a quiet and intense conversation while they walked by me.

    I wondered what it was about after I heard one of them say, "No no, I don't wanna mess up my life or nothin'. It's fine."

    And then his friend shouted back, "THEN WHY Y'ALL SELLIN' DRUGS?"

    Correct, I do not want to sound like I am from any of the places you mentioned.

    Beyond having a kneejerk dislike of the South, largely based in stereotypes, I am *not from* anywhere that uses y'all, so if I were to use it, it would be affected, and the intent would be for me to indicate that I was from somewhere I am not (whether southern or western).

    way to list all the major metropolitan areas and not

    Bucksnort, TN
    Big Bone Lick, KY

    et cetera

    I mean, metro areas are part of the south. Also I skipped the really big ones like Atlanta or Houston, and the very different ones like Galveston or Lafayette or Key West.

    But Bucksnort TN is quite pleasant if y'all are into whitetail. ;)

    While I'm not sure I'm comfortable with everything else that's going on

    You are saying "Here is a thing I did, and now credeiki is doing it and it's shitty of her"

    Because she is just saying she doesn't want to be associated with that! Which you obviously don't either! That is somewhat orthogonal to people being dicks about areas of origin, I think.

    the most roundabout way to say you don't want to sound like a redneck or like you're from the south

    that's kind of upsetting, to be honest. Whats the term?

    problematic.

    I'm not sure how that could be considered problematic. We all make personal vernacular choices based on the affiliations we intend to communicate, and there are plenty of valid reasons not to want to communicate "Southern-ness"; primarily, one might imagine, not being from the South.

    My girlfriend crashed at my place last night. She was waiting for her Lyft when I left for work in the morning. When I got home, there was a cute note and she'd cleaned the kitchen. Including stuff that we didn't mess up when cooking dinner last night!

    This is as adorable as it is deeply shameful; I'll need to step up my cleanliness game if I'm going to keep having her over.

    Dude, I am not saying it's bad for you to have a southern accent. I'm saying it would make no sense for me to have one, or to use the speech patterns associated with it, because the only time I have been to the south was on vacation to the beach in NC and for a wedding and a couple of conferences.

    Also obviously I know that every place has a whole distribution of people, so even if the overall culture over this huge geographic region on average somewhat skews towards directions I don't like, that doesn't really mean anything...
