Who needs a Texas Dictionary? Plug Y'ALL into XWEBSTER and the definiton
is variation of YOU-ALL.
Plug in YOU-ALL and you get:
you-all \(')y:u-'o[0xC7]l, 'y:u-, ; 'yo[0xC7]l\ pron, chiefly Southern
(1824)
:YOU -- usu. used in addressing two or more persons or sometimes
one person as representing also another or others
