Now surging in popularity, the iconic pronoun was first used on the other side of the Atlantic in the 17th century.

Southern Living Magazine once described “y’all” as “the quintessential Southern pronoun.” It’s as iconically Southern as sweet tea and grits
While “y’all” is considered slang, it’s a useful word nonetheless. The English language doesn’t have a good second person plural pronoun; “you” can be both singular and plural, but it’s sometimes awkward to use as a plural. It’s almost like there’s a pronoun missing. “Y’all” fills that second person plural slot—as does “you guys,” “youse,” “you-uns,” and a few others.
 

This August, Hermy’s BMW Triumph is celebrating a milestone that, on one hand, seems hard to believe, but on the other, is no surprise - Hermy’s has been setting riders up on two-wheeled, motorized freedom machines for 60 years!! SIXTY YEARS!

Plan to spend Friday, August 25th and Saturday, August 26th with the Hermy’s crew and a few hundred of your fellow motorcycling buds to help us celebrate this very cool achievement. They'll have the Triumph factory demo truck here both days as well as lunch, ice cream, a caricature artist, store-wide discounts and deals. 

Looking forward to seeing you all!
