You may be right about "youse" being technically incorrect, but I  believe
"y'all" is both the singular and plural of the word, much like "deer",  as in
"Did y'all shoot them thar deer?"  It's definitely a many-to-many  relationship.

Y'all = youse. Although I may be a we, editorially speaking, I am not a
youse. Or a y'all.
