    “Being a lesbian sucks sometimes. You tell another girl she’s a hottie, and she says, “thanks” like we’re being friendly. I ain’t just being friendly, I’m trying to fuck!”

    I think I translated it correctly.

      That’s how I read it too.

      Also, this is how a girl politely turns you down. I take heart that lesbians are in the same boat as hetero guys when it comes to this struggle. I read this and think “oh, girls are bad at this too!”

            “ya’ll” is also American English’s answer to the problem of not have a plural form of “you” (see also: “you guys” or “you all” from which ya’ll is derived).

            Due to English being heavily influenced by Romance languages, but not taking its grammatical structure purely from them, we really had no single-word version of “vous” (I don’t know other romance languages aside from French).

          Easily America’s best contribution to civilization, after “right (turns) on red”.

          And I’m glad it’s catching on instead of “you’uns”, “yuns”, or “yous”.
