[FRIAM] absurd

[steve smith]

I guess TX stops at y'all rather than the yet-more-deep south "all 
y'all"?   Or is "y'all"  the singular ambiguous vs the plural ambiguous?

FWIW, I have taken it often (from glen) as  a tell...  if not of 
trolling, perhaps mild sarcasm or mockery?  y'all know what I mean, right?
