Yeah and NO ONE says "yinz" and 80% of people here have no idea what it means or where it's from.

I beg to differ. I have lived in NJ all my life and have never heard a native say y’all. I do hear youse now and again.

Same! Lived in Jersey my whole life, the only people who say "y'all" are either out of state transplants or people who spent years living outside NJ before coming back. All I've ever heard is either youse or you guys.

Seconding this. My mom is from Long Island and also sometimes says "yous'uns" but I think it's tongue in cheek.
