You forgot "yinze."  That is Pittsburgh-ese for "y'all."  My mother is from there, and they certainly do have some interesting turns of phrase.

I'm from California and say "You guys."  I've tried to get into saying "yall" but it's just not me.  It comes out as "you all" and I feel like an imposter.

I've never heard of that before!  How do they derive that

I say you all or just you.  I never feel right saying you guys because when I was a child, a friend's mother would always tell me it was impolite to say.  It isn't really, but you know how things stick with you.

Usually I say "you" or "you guys", but lately "y'all" has been slipping into my vocabulary...

Ditto - if you said "you guys" or any form of it here, please would assume you were an "outsider" , and well, they'd probably be right.
