"Y'all" is a regionalism, not slang.  It can be used in polite and 
proper company.

And, it's plural.

GLOSSARY:
   you ......... singular
   yeeeee'w .... me, when my mother is pissed
   y'all ....... plural
   all y'all ... really plural

I once heard somebody in Oklahoma say "y'all'ens" but it made my brain hurt 
trying to parse it.
