Derek Reed lives in New York City, where he studies Media, Culture, and the Arts at The King's College. Derek enjoys loudly played music, a good night's sleep, and southern literature. After graduating next year, he hopes either to begin studying English at the graduate level, or to find work as a journalist. If nothing else, there's always clown school.
Gaudy and impudent, y’all is Southern culture’s linguistic centerpiece—and, depending on whether or not you grew up below the Mason-Dixon, it’s either an efficient construction or an affront to the English language.
