Who "they" are varies depending upon the situation, the usage, and, the user.

Hmm, interesting.  Let's start with "Youens", because depending on where you're from can have a lot of influence of the dialect and inflection one is using "Youens".

For example, if one is a Western Pa. hillbilly, they might likely say it as "Yinz".  As in,  Yinz best git to work, if ya know what's good fer ya.

Or maybe a trailer trash mother from the farming Midwest might pronounce it as "Yuns".  As in, If Yuns don't stay out of mamma's Vodka, you'll be sorry.

Or, if one were just a slack jawed yokel from Southeast Ohio, you might really try to accent it by saying "Yoons".  As in, I had a dollar, till Yoons took it from me.

But in a lot of places, if you were to pronounce it as "Youens", you might get some strange responses.  Someone might say "Youens?, weren't they the name of the family on Dallas?".
