two unrelated questions

1) For those of you who have "you guys" for the plural of "you" in your spoken dialect, how do you form the possessive?
-you guys' (same pronunciation as singular)
-you guys's
-your guys's
-(something else?)
I just heard the cashier at the store say "your guys's", which is a formation I enjoy. Language change by analogy is so funny-strange. I probably say "you guys's" most of the time, but "your guys's" also seems natural to me.
2) What helps one stop waking up during the night? This is a new thing for me, and I assume it's stress related since nothing else in my life has changed. I fall asleep fine but wake up several times.

Or if I dream weird shit that freaks me out, or if there are really loud noises. Or if I am in some kind of pain. Does your tooth still hurt? Are you dreaming weird shit? Or do you not know why you woke up?

Date: 2009-04-24 06:56 am (UTC)The retail-related language construction I love most is "I can help who's next," or sometimes "I can help who's ever next." Back when I worked in a store, everyone I knew said it, and I hear cashiers say it when I'm waiting in line now, but you never hear it anywhere else.
2. God, I wish I knew. I haven't slept through the night in years.
