A woman I knew (environmentalist) always only used this term when she was driving home a point to someone else who she thought was dumber than her.
"I'm going to talk in a way that you stupid people can understand."
That's all it is to them; with an air of royalty, they reluctantly wade out into the "common-folk's" language to show their benevolence, while retaining their sense of linguistic superiority by using the term as a covert intellectual slur.
A great deal. Pricks.
Not only am I not a Southerner, I am not even American, and even I can't fucking stand these idiots with their bastardized ''y'all''.
It's cultural appropriation.

Every time I hear a dumb ass Yankee say "y'all", it makes me want to hop in the time machine and help Bobby Lee win at Gettysburg.
