"Y'all" means "you all", yes, but both small plural (2 people) or large plural (2,000,000,000 people). I've never heard a musician go on stage and say "How are all y'all doing tonight?". They just say "How are y'all doing tonight?"
"All y'all" really means "each of you". For example, if I'm running a bar and a family of parents and late teenagers enter, I would ask "are all y'all 18 21 or older?" Same if there are like 50 folks.
I cannot imagine a situation where I would say "all y'all" without it meaning to emphasize each and every one.
sorry in advance, but you would actually be asking "are all ya'll 21 or older? " because in America you can't drink until at least 3 years after you're allowed to start killing people
In Dutch people say “Nee ja” (no yes) or “Ja nee” (yes no) when they begin to answer a question. It’s basically meaningless, like starting a sentence with “well…”
In Canada, its "oh yeah no for sure bud"
"Yeah no totally" is a similar one
Sí no no, sí. Is a yes in Spanish.
Nah yeah, that applies pretty much one to one with Australia, we just slang no as nah except for the last one, where you'd actually say no
My favourite is yeah ehh.
Not only is it short and easy to say, it’s also very on brand and basically says that you also vouch for the idea.
"Oh yeah eh" hits even harder
In England it's "no, bu' yeah bu' no bu' yeah bu'..."
Texas resident and never hear this.

Woops thx
Try it with an expletive, for focus:
F*ck all y'all.
all y'all is about as Texan as it gets. Other then "getch" and "Fixin'"
F*ck all y'all is a great example!
Though, again, I think it's only used to emphasize each and every person rather than to emphasize a large group, like the OP implies.
Yeah, "how're all y'all doing tonight" said to a stadium means "I hope each of you is doing well"
Sure, I do agree that it makes sense. I just haven't heard it myself, so I don't agree that it's a Texas thing.
Oh I was just agreeing and expanding
Ah, gotcha
Because it's 'all [of] y'all'

Yet Americans still want to put an S onto mass nouns like 'email', but y'all can figure this out.
I think you mean "yous". ;P
Midwesterners say the same thing as Aussies but with an accent.
No yeah donchaknow
Yah no er no yah?
No yeah for sure bud
I don't know what you're talking about there weren't any consonants in the middle of those words when I found them.

I prefer the New New York version, "yous guyses"
Yeah, nyah
Of course the profile picture is of Damo
Yeah, naw is more nuanced than just no.
In North Carolina you say y'all, which means you all, unless you're over 2,500 feet MSL in which case say y'uns which means you ones.
You’re both stupid. How’s that?
