Not so much hick talk. Unless it's Northern hick talk. I'm 69 years old and I've lived in a somewhat rural part of the south all my life except for my military service years. I'd never heard anyone misuse "seen" around here until people from the northern states started migrating down here for work and retirement. Now I'm starting to hear younger locals using it. And trust me when I say I notice it every time I hear it because it's one of my pet peeves.
69? Your young yet!
Isn't it a bit like white folk who now use y'all?
I'm English and went to a Baseball game in Texas and the Waitress said to me and my mate, Hi Y'all doin' hahah It was cute. She was fit as a butchers dog though.
Same here, my favourite US saying was "missing you already"
Didn't the blacks get it from the southern whites?
I've absolutely no idea. I live in the far east. The butt-end of the planet! lol Maybe I wrongly assumed it was a black thaaang
Yes. Thomas Sowell wrote a whole book about that.
Yes they did.
Yeah it’s not local hick talk in North Carolina. Next they will be saying southerner’s say “yous guys”🤣
Lol. I moved to TX from near Canadian border and still get pegged whenever I say ‘you’s guys’ or ‘about’
😆 I thought you’d guys was just a New Jersey thing. I briefly went to College at VCU in Richmond, 1985. I can still see & hear this guy from NJ. I’ll take you’s guys any day over the goth & punk rock kids. They scared this country girl.
Fuggettabouddit. Kek
I've heard it misused in WA, OR, ID and CA. The guilty are just folks who sat in the back of English class, doodling while the rest of us learned the English language. Lazy students or natural dumbshits . . . . A couple of my nephews do this, and they were the former.
I'm from the NYC area, seen being used like this is common in the urban areas, but I've also seen people from the rural areas around here say it, albeit with a drawl.
