My middle school was a combination middle/high school who's mascot was the raiders and they had an agriculture department that had a bunch of chickens, pigs, and other animals.
Um, aren't pirates and cowboys opposing archetypes? You know, "One to the land, and one to the sea, lest the world be consumed in a bearsharkopalypse cowboy pirate nonsense".
Y'all is the equivalent to the Māori "koutou" (you 3 or more). Although it's more formal than the informal y'all. You could piratify it into "koutou ho!" Same rhythm as "yo ho ho", but it's a bit of a butchered mess.
Well if you gotta talk to everybody than you might need to bust out the "all y'all"

I've always spelled it ya'll.

Yeah but "ya" is an affirmative, like yes. Y'all is "you all" not "yes all".

the A in all
It's a contraction of ya and all.
Ya is not a word; it is on this hill I shall die.

Cowboy or Texan
Y'all is one of the most useful words in the english language
The PS1 is still my favourite console!
same thing
I grew up in Colorado
To be honest, I forgot Texas existed
good for you!
please post your routine so the rest of us might achieve same
This is the one.
I feel like pirates of all people do not have a leg to stand on with that one
i mean, that is often one of the defining traits of a pirate, from all the canon fire
There's a few ways to look at this:
1) Pirates are not the most morally consistent people out there
and/or
2) If a pirate is calling you a ho/yucking your yum, you might be due for some serious self-reflection.
i feel confident that i am correct
Thanks for taking that setup, I was hoping someone would
What is with these rural landlocked schools and pirate mascots?
and yet here we are
I just remembered that cowboys were in the American West, and y'all was a southern thing. And clearly they are different areas of the country.
So I guess that kinda counts as a cowboy pirate.

Basically anything outside of New England is considered The West by a lot of people. Texas sometimes isn't considered The South by other people, too.
It's you all, everybody.
I honestly can't tell if you're making a joke about combining y'all everybody or making a joke about contractions. Or both.
Well done.

Are ya sure about that?
Ya.
Ya is not a word; it is on this hill I shall die.

It's slang. As is ya'll. It's a matryoshka of slang.
A word being one thing and also another thing is one of the hallmarks of language.
