I used to have a soccer coach back in the day that called groups "you-ins."

Pittsburgh. It's an Appalachia thing - I have friends from West Virginia and even Eastern KY that say it.

Ya'll only applies to the Eastern part of TN. In west TN it usually is Younz-ins (large group) or You-ins (2-3 people).

Another great East TN term... "Squeat" meaning it's time to eat or let's go eat. All ya'll ready to squeat? You know you found the real backwoods when that one comes out!

Most of the time when I hear people complain about servers, I look at the customer first.

That is an absurd predisposition.....especially so if one is in restaurant management.
