I'm a big fan of invoking the language of my people and using "You" (singular) and "Youse" (pl.). For really big plurals you can plus size it with "Youse lot".Logically it's a bit like the southern states "Y'all" which is of course singular. The plural being not "Y'all" or even "Y'alls" but "All Y'all".
Another that's stuck with me is from a friend from Middlesborough. Loved his "Us" (pronounced "ooz") for "our", as in "Fookinell I'm right starving, what shall we 'ave for us teas?".
It's all about the "teas". "Us tea" just makes no kinda sense.
Funny I remember getting down with a girl from the the North East one time. Once she decided she was down she said, "I want you to focus."
I was like, "I am focussed!"
She: "No I want you to fuc us"
Then I started to wonder if she was a paranoid schizophrenic. It was a bit unsettling looking around the room for sharp objects...Good times though.
