"Y'all..."
post
Hey meatbags!
I like the preantepenultimate one, and I'm not just saying that to use the word.
There was discussion about what the NYC subway announcements should say instead of "ladies and gentlemen".
My vote was "listen up you little shits, [this train is going express until canal Street or whatever]"
I think they went with "everyone", however.
I like J Kenji Lopze-Alt's "Guys, Gals, and non-binary pals" for inclusivity and being not overly-formal. Then again, I'm a cishet guy so feel free to point out any flaws I may not see.
Hello everyone,
In undergrad I had an O-Chem Prof, from England, who would start each class by gathering our collective attention with, "Oi, You Lot!". Awesome and Epic
"Hey ladies, hey fellas, and the people that don't give a FUCK" - inclusive king Fred Durst
Girls gays and theys isn't trying to be inclusive at all though?
It's basically a way to say "anyone that isn't a straight man"
Now I'm remembering the smell of K-Mart: A mix of rancid popcorn oil and cigarettes.
“Hey y’all!”
Texas may have more (far, far more) than it’s fair share of problems, but y’all is gender neutral and works both as singular and plural.
And when addressing an individual instead of the crowd:
"You there! No, not you, the other one!"
Meine Damen und Herren und alle dazwischen und außerhalb. :)
"'Sup, cunts?"
I prefer Jan Böhmermann's version:
Meine Damen und Herren und alle dazwischen und außerhalb
(Ladies and gentlemen and all in between and beyond)
IDK what others think of it, but I like "Laddies ( or however you spell that plural of lad ), Lasses, and Lasso's" from The Click.
I've always been partial to "ladies, boys, and ladyboys..." myself.
