Texas resident and never hear this.

"Y'all" means "you all", yes, but both small plural (2 people) or large plural (2,000,000,000 people). I've never heard a musician go on stage and say "How are all y'all doing tonight?". They just say "How are y'all doing tonight?"

"All y'all" really means "each of you". For example, if I'm running a bar and a family of parents and late teenagers enter, I would ask "are all y'all ~~18~~ 21 or older?" Same if there are like 50 folks.

I cannot imagine a situation where I would say "all y'all" without it meaning to emphasize each and every one.

sorry in advance, but you would actually be asking "are all ya'll 21 or older? " because in America you can't drink until at least 3 years after you're allowed to start killing people
