I think you are correct but I hear it in Texas all the time where I used to hear ya’ll. I think it has come from the north east and began as ‘youse guys’. (How they ever started saying ‘youse guys’ instead of the correct term, ya’ll, I’ll never understand.) >>/smirk>///

I wonder if the youse is an attempt to pluralize you, as in adding an s.

I also find it annoying, so I used to reply, "Do I look like a man to you ?", but my family has gotten tired of my smart remarks, so I stopped.

I still think it, though.
