Youse. In my part of the country it isn’t unusual for people to use a phrase such as “”Youse should be careful” or “I want to thank youse all for being here.” Drives me wacky when I hear it.I, too, am also appalled by the modern usage (yousage) of the English language as used by teenagers, when every second word is “like”. Also, teens use four letter words as adjectives in almost every sentence. If you have to use public transit and overhear a group of teens talking, four letter words are used to describe everything – good or bad. I wonder what word they have left in their vocabularies when they really need a four letter – for instance after one accidentally hammers their thumb. THEN, you may require such a word to describe the pain.
