"Yall"?

You from the South, or south Madison, Wisconsin? Or south something?

I do not mind people from certain regions using regionalisms in common speech, but appropriating someone else's slang or, if you're from the South, using in your writing a slang expression you might not normally use in order to try to make a point, is really precious.

If you're from Georgia, sorry. Still, I've visited the South a lot and don't hear it. My Tennessee cousin doesn't say it either.
