Struck me as "funny"

I was watching tv the other day and the show was Steve Wilkos (I think). I know, it's a no-brainer show but that's my mentality. Anyway, a guy and "lady" were arguing about something when the female said, "You're just trying to make me look stupid, yo". Don't know if I should have capitalized "Yo/yo" or not. Is yo a pronoun, adjective?? Found it funny!

Well, I know 'yo' as Spanish for 'me'. 'Yo-yo', is an endearing term sometimes used for our friends across the ocean. As in 'Metal Mania, you Yo-yo!'

ORIGIN natural exclamation: first recorded in late Middle English .

yo 2 |joʊ|
pronoun nonstandard spelling of you , used to represent black English.

possessive adjective nonstandard spelling of your , used to represent black English.

So, what she actually said was, "You're just trying to make me look stupid, you"?

Probably not but I'm sure he will probably be her next baby daddy.

Another bit of info which might apply, the parting saying I give to the daytime supervisor comin in, "AMF YOYO". 'Adios you're on your own.' Pretty much says it all. Fell free to use that as it may apply.
