"Y'allself" is a combination of two words: "y'all" and "self".
The word "y'all" is a contraction of the phrase "you all" commonly used in many Southern American English dialects, particularly in the Southern United States. It is a plural form of "you", addressing multiple people. The term "y'all" originated in the mid-19th century, likely as a simplified way of distinguishing between singular and plural second-person pronouns. "Y'all" became widely adopted in Southern American English speech and has since been ingrained in the regional dialects.
The word "self" is derived from Middle English "selfe" and Old English "self". It indicates the essential nature or individuality of a person. It is used as a reflexive pronoun to refer to the subject of a sentence or emphasize someone's identity or personal attributes.
