Buck Rio, SASS #60154 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Looks like there are two threads going on here. One about "slip hammering" and one about the Etymology of the expression y'all. Doc T, I think the other writer you are thinking of is John Taffin. I never did know how his name is pronounced. Is it like Tay-fin or Taff-in? I think he made a big deal about competing with "mouse fart" loads. Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt McCloud, SASS #65003L Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 What are youins talkin' about? Now, somebody tell me where that word came from. Having grown up using it, I can assure you that when used, everyone present knew what it meant. I'm sure y'all are gonna correct me on this but wasn't it Elle Mae Clampett from the Beverly Hillbillies what coined that phrase?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck D. Law, SASS #62183 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm sure y'all are gonna correct me on this but wasn't it Elle Mae Clampett from the Beverly Hillbillies what coined that phrase?? I'm pretty sure she's a cousin. We hillbillies are most all kin, but contrary to popular belief, we don't marry our sisters. Date 'em, but never marry 'em. I'm gonna marry this cousin. She's got purdy eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Tombstone, SASS #49630 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Buck you are right, John Taffin is the guy, I actually sent a letter to the publication, an extremely rare event for me. Haven't read one of his articles since. Not sure if its his loss or mine but thats the way it is. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 boy aint heard 'youins' since I was a kid. Have to start using it again. And like I have to explain to some yankees I have come in contact with, y'all is singular and all y'all is plural. Now Thanks to Buck I can also add youins as the plural too. Thank all y'all, Tascosa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Doggle Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 If you use "y'all" and "youins" in the same sentence... You Might Be A Redneck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Taylor,SASS#14359 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I just read that article, and I was amazed at how much we were all doing wrong. Now that I know I'll be a much better shooter, thanks Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
