I hate both equally.

I'll go for Yikes though.

Yikes. Y'all gotta get over this. It's a bad look. Do better.

Y'all is not a word, it's a contraction of a word group. Therefore yikes wins by default.

I have used y’all* before. Only Shaggy of Scooby Doo fame has used the word ‘yikes.’ Therefore yikes is the winner.

*Believe me I don’t consider it one of my finest moments.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say Y'all in real life before but maybe I've somehow managed to always be around posh people.

I sometime's say Y'all in American usergroups just to fit in, but I feel a little hollow inside each time.

Y'all is incredibly annoying, yikes is just a bit... archaic and childish I guess?

Now if you want a really annoying variant then that would have to be the true abomination that is: "yikers" :shudder:

I have Texan cousins and the mother uses "Y'all" quite a bit so I just kind of got used to it.

Yikes by far, as it's been memeified. (If y'all is a meme then I haven't seen it.)
