Is all!

Question

Hey there, take a look at the following context:

Mom:"You wet yourself again?"

Son:"No, it's just some juice is all"

is "is all" something you say when you want to whitewash something or try not to tell the truth? I mean I've seen another situation with the same vibe and the same "is all", Let me know what you know.

Venom SnakeMom: "You wet yourself again?"
Son: "No, it's just some juice is all"

This isn't correct English. You may have misheard "that's all" as "is all".

That "is all" is an ordinary feature of casual speech here in the Middle Atlantic states. It is said to minimize things, not to hide a lie. You can think of it as short for "that is all it is".

Venom Snake it's just some juice is all

This pattern is usually heard without the initial "it's". Technically it's grammatically incorrect with "it's".

Just some juice is all. (~ It is no more than some juice.)

Venom Snakeis "is all" something you say when you want to whitewash something or try not to tell the truth?

No. You can use it like that, but not all uses have that intent.
