Americans say “youse” too? Huh, I thought that was exclusively a bogan thing

Yeah, mainly in the northeast. I’m in the southeast and I basically only hear it from cartoon mobsters.

Surprised it’s not more widespread, actually. It seems like the easiest way to pluralize “you”.

My mom grew up in the rural outskirts of Cincinnati and says youse. Meanwhile my dad, who grew up more inside the city, constantly made fun of her for it.

I got Cincinnati and two random places I’ve never even visited as my top three results, probably because my way of speaking is a super mixed bag from living in different places. Language is weird.
