Sad.

Fun story: I was in a gas station in Breaux Bridge, where they sell
boudin and jambalaya and gumbo behind the counter, and heard the
following exchange between the two women working back there:

Woman #1: "Hey, he done forgot his boudin!"
Woman #2: "Who, dat guy dere?"
Woman #1: "Ah, oui, dat the guy."
Woman #2: (on loudspeaker, to man at pump) "Y'all forgot y'all boudin!"

I'd never heard a complete sentence with such a high ratio of "y'all"
to other words before[1].

[1] disregarding "all y'all", which though a palindrome, doesn't count[2].
[2] today seems to be the day for footnotes on Internetworkers.
