your most favorite words

I use folks in place of guys since it's less gendered and you don't have to have the "wait guy guys or everyone guys" conversation every dang time but I accept that it makes me sound a little hayseed

I suppose what so moves me about the word is that y'all works well as the subject to a predicate. Take the sentence, "Y'all need to get on the boat." Not many phrases can replace that; you have "you guys," "you folks", "all you," "you all," etc. And none of those really roll off the tongue in my opinion.

As Slorange said, this is a niche that exists in other languages, like to my knowledge, Spanish, French and German, but it's not there in English.

Squad is probably my fave

French has "vous", which is used as both plural "you" and a more formal version of "you". That's what I remember of it, anyways.
