A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

"All Y'alls" is based though.

"Y'all" is plural "you" (at this point).

"All y'all" is an enhancer and clarification meaning, "every one addressed."

It is, also, based (and fun).

Y'all'dn't've is just next level stuff.

Please explain the last one I do not grok

Yall would not have; negative form of y'all'd've.

'd = would n't = not 've = have

If y'all'dn't've upvoted this thread, I might not have seen it.

Also: cool to see the word grok.

Thank you, I get it now (helps to say it out loud!)

I now grok!
