As a born and raised southerner, y'all can be used for one person or many, with no clear limit on the number. All y'all is used to stress a point or to make it clear that it references everyone capable of hearing the message or just anyone who could be intended. All y'all is mainly used, in real world applications, in the sentence "all y'all can go fuck y'allself" or similar.

32, halfway through a bachelor's in creative writing, mainly worked as a security guard (read receptionist), cashier, and inbound call centers. :/

But fr, how does one woo a Canadian for citizenship? Teach me, and I promise I will make the daily offering to Tim Horton and eat the ritual poutine at least once weekly!

Could also be using a base 3 or binary system. Or the ever elusive base 1 system.

How many of those do you have?

Honestly, I can see Miles having a fight with Keiko and just being irritated enough to do something like this. Keiko is unreasonable, Molly is throwing a tantrum, Word has stayed over his time in the holodeck and he has nothing else to do.

"Fuck it," he says and transported up a village elder.

"I am Darmaninguan, god of all the Elzen people. Be not afraid, child. ... Instead, be absolute terrified. For I am an angry Irish god! Now return, and tell everyone they must never yell at their husbands for not eating fish soup for breakfast!"

Texas does not have a monopoly on y'all. Y'all is collective, both as a noun, and as ownership. Y'all is Southern for Comrade.

Tmk, it's interchangable in the American South. Can't speak to south America, though. :p

I can't remember any other examples off the top of my head, but I just rewatched the one where Alexander gets dropped off into the enterprise by the grandparents. And I just feel so bad for this kid. In the episode with his mom, they clearly have a really strong bond. She loves him, he loves her. Then she does, worf basically says "look at her body! Look at her death!..btw, I'm your father" And then ships him off to a planet he's never been to, to live with people he's never met. Then those people, the only familial connection he has had since his mother's death, decide they just straight up don't want him anymore. He dad throws a tantrum in front him because he damn sure doesn't want the kid. Begrudgingly agrees to keep him, and when the kid makes a mistake and acts out, he's told he's going to be sent to live with Klingons. Given his mother's politics, probably something that scares the shit out of him.

And that's just in his first 2 appearances. That poor fucking child.

I'm a dirty, disgusting, heathen communist.

... does that work? Because I'm halfway through a degree here, and honestly, if that works...

I love the sequel to that one, too. Same set up. ... The first man orders H20 The second man says "why would you say that? It's incredibly pretentious, and you look like a jerk. Just order water." The first man frowns and sulks because his murder plot has been foiled.

While I agree completely, it is troublesome that you, BombOmOm, are saying this... :/ username checks no fly list out.

Sadly this is missing the "worf is a terrible father" slice of the pie.

That's honestly mortifying.

Disembodied brain in a jar is my vote.

Really? ... Am I super weird then? Because I can visualize volume and distance really well. I just assumed that was being, like, literate in both systems of measure.

Hmm. That's weird. Me, my mom and my dad all have the same phone. I try to keep them on whatever I'm on to make trouble shooting over the phone easier when they call me with problems. Both of them report laggyness, too.

I should clarify, until recently, I've been used to higher end phones. The note series and whatever flagship LG was rocking when I was off the notes. Maybe I'm just spoiled?

It was a scary moment. For added funny: I am 6'2, 285lbs (188cm, 130kg), and I'm not lying when I say I matrix dodged that shit.

Haha. Thanks. Lol.

There was another time I burnt down the whole kitchen making tacos. But that's less fun a story. Lol.

Decided to make fried chicken. We rarely ever eat fried foods, and so I don't have fancy things like deep fryers. What I had was a large cast aluminum pot.

Filled it about half way with oil, made amazing delicious fried chicken.

I also don't have a stop top. Use a single eye burner. Needed the burner for something else, so sat the pot on the counter next to the sink.

Moved wrong, knocked the pot into the sink. Boiling oil goes down the drain.

Know what's at the bottom of the drain? A trap full of water.

Water met boiling oil as I matrix dodged our of the way and a geysey worthy of yellow stone came flying out of the sink, both sides, shooting boiling oil and steam everywhere. Covering the ceiling, the walls, the floor. Even the dog got hit (thank God for long, thick fur!). I had splatter burns on my legs, which was the only part of me not under the counter when it landed. It came up with so much force it threw the pot out of the sink.
