Hey, guys, you can't refer to everyone as 'guys' no more ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe in your circles. Fortunately not in mine.

 

You're telling me it wasn't acceptable in the South? Times change. However the GOP just devolves. "Oh no women don't like being called 'guys'. Woke b****es"

 

This could be a Midwest thing but I recently heard a female millennial at work use “guys”.

I exercise my Texan privilege and say “y’all”

 

As a kid I was called that as an insult by a white person. Oddly enough I’ve been called that as a compliment outside of Texas. Once by some black kids during pick up basketball in Minneapolis and last year by a drunk Native American woman in Lewiston, Idaho. She called me “my N—-, “and wanted to know which tribe I was from.

 

so what happened next?

 

I haven't used "guys" as a gendered term in practically my entire life... nor have I heard it used that way that I'm aware of.

Even ol' woke webster's recognizes the genderless nature of the word.

Language is weird. It shifts and changes with time.

 

I told her I was Ojibwe which is the largest Tribe in Minnesota. She didn’t know who they were.

So much for native brotherhood

 

didn't get laid

 

He's just being modest.

 

you have a very odd interest in my sex life.

 

haha it's more...empathy...than interest

 

To be fair, according to the last few months on the BBS, he has a very odd interest in everyone's sex life

 

living the dream

vicariously

 

I suppose next you’re going to give me pointers about how to pick up chicks.

 

not unsolicited, but if you want help, I'm here for you bro

edit: one free tip: make sure she doesn't have an Adam's apple (unless you like that)

 

My stepmom is from the Midwest, as am I originally, and she regularly refers to the Mrs and me as "you guys." (And before anyone says it, no, there's no confusion going on there, trust me. lol)

In informal situations I often address groups of women as "guys" and no one has ever complained.

I mispronounce a few words as well, as does my father. Truth be heard, that one brings me scorn on occasion.

 

I was never able to use the word ‘guys’ when talking to a group of female coworkers. It’s just technically inaccurate to my own standard. Y’all or we’all.

 

Neanderthals is gender neutral and it’s use makes you look nerdy and smart.

 

He meant gays and said it and got away because…… “accent “ lol
