The rich don't have suites like that, they have planes.I wanna be rich too.
I still wanna be rich.
Yeah, since we don't use "Ye" in the US any more, except as an affectation.

Holy fucking shit my life is misery without this

I have never heard this outside of movie, unless it was from that type of southerner who likes to Hollywood up their own accent. My elementary school principal did that. It was eye-roll inducing.
I've never lived in the "true south" but I've definitely seen y'all used singularly.
I admit. I'm curious...

Who knows? He sure doesn't.
First that Democrats are slave owners pic. Now this. Not funny. Not funny at all. I guess now that Trump is . . .
. . . nah, I'm too lazy for fake outrage. This is funny.
Fade has lived in every town in every south there ever was; his is not only the combination of all southern experiences, but the one true experience. Whatever you believed you experienced was at best a parallel universe's south that Fade has erased from existence, and at worst a delusion. You cannot compare with Fade in his southering.
No need for the ladies to hog it all; every one of us can be smart, guys.
That is not how your conversations about this go. It isn't:
Someone: This southern thing
Fade: Not all southerners; in fact, it's uncommon.
This is how it goes:
Someone: This southern thing
Fade: That isn't true, it's a fabrication, a stereotype. I haven't seen it, therefore it didn't happen, and you don't know what you're talking about.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to partake of this traditional southern beverage as inspired by Gasbandit.
It's a mix. Got some juice in it. Not lime.

Well I mean sorry you read it that way. That's not what I intended. This is how it happened from my end:That is not how your conversations about this go. It isn't:

Me: Hollywood does this stereotype all the time. I've never seen anyone do it.
Invariably someone else: Well I've seen it.
Me: can't say I have, and here's my reason why I don't think I'm pulling it out of my ass.
The thing is these stereotypes are pervasive about southerners. It bothers me personally as a southerner the way people in general accept these stereotypes as fact based on movies. We just saw tons of media personalities hopping on these stereotype trains during the last election. So if I get a little overprotective of my people, that's why. Apologies if it comes across as abrasive
I gotta jump in here on Fade's side of things. I have lived in the south my entire life. Born in Texas, raised in South Carolina, friends and family in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, etc. and I have never once heard anyone use "y'all" when addressing one person outside of TV or Movies.
I can't say it never happens, just that I have never personally seen it. It also is a dead giveaway that whoever wrote/performed/or otherwise touched a script that does that has no understanding of what that term means. That, along with terrible southern accents kills my suspension of disbelief very quickly.
Add one more to the Southern Chorus. I often have pause to think of a geographically appropriate replacement for "y'all" on a regular basis. It's a terribly handy contraction. But I've never used it as a singular. We already have a perfectly good word for that: "you".
