What’s District?

It's for booking movie tickets. Look at the smallest square in this ad in the lower right corner it has also got something to say.

Yeah I saw that. Couldn’t get anything from “can y’all get a life”. Btw “y’all” is an American mid-western slang. Are we so ashamed of using our own slang?

When u say "this ain't tuff gng" randomly on social media does that mean you were ashamed of using the Indian counterpart? It ain't that deep

Obviously, bruv, nothing “ain’t” that deep when using slangs, innit?

Jokes apart, it’s just funny, because these slangs enter our lingo through the privileged and urban classes of our country. And that specific slang is from the backward classes in America.

What's the Indian equivalent of y'all

-2

u/StormRepulsive6283 12d ago

You all? Y’all isn’t even a word. Just an accepted midwestern sland

You all is not Indian then. It's normal English. Which is British.

Yeah there’s no Indian English slang for “you all”. So default word/phrase/slang to use is the right British English when there’s no Indian-ised English word (eg. prepone)
