“Who do Texan Muslims worship?”/“Y’allah.” (y’all + Allah)

“Y’allah” is a portmanteau word of ‘y’all” (“you all”) and “Allah” (the Arabic word for “God”). “In N.Texas there are schools that are beginning to implement #Arabic as a requirement in their classrooms. I guess Y’all is close to Yallah?” was posted on Twitter on February 8, 2011. “I’m in Texas Y’all! Sorry I meant I’m in Texas Yallah! #Hot #SaudiAmerica” was posted on Twitter on October 26, 2013.
 
A riddle was posted on Reddit—Dad Jokes on April 16, 2018:
 
Q: Who do Texan Muslims worship?
A: Y’allah.

 
“Where do Norse Texans go when they die?”/“Y’allhalla” (y’all + Valhalla) is another “y’all” portmanteau joke.

Conjugating the Texas “y’all”: “yallr”, “yalls”, “yalla”, “yallkn”, “aryall”, “weryall”, and my favorite “howeryalldoon”
