to combat "hey guys" a friend of mine made a site that will give you a gender neutral alternative every time you refresh
@tcql hey muggles!!
@tcql @inmysocks One of the big flaws in English - no good 2nd-person-plural. As a Midwestern, I grew up saying "you guys", but anymore I've started using plurals like "y'all/you all", "you lot", "you two", etc. to get away from "you guys".
@Mentalina @inmysocks it's a real shame that y'all has regional / social connotations for many folks - it's such a wonderful & logical construction
@inmysocks @tcql I KNOW! "Y'all" is so useful and elegant, and it stinks that it has this unfair connotation of ignorance or lack of education. I hope it catches on broadly outside of the South and loses that.
@tcql Now that'll come in handy next time I'm in a meeting with a load of timely processes... 'Hi cron-ies!' (;*
@tcql pleased to see "hey y'all" 🌞
@tcql hey, comrades.
@tcql I got "hey playmates". Seems pretty… specific
@tcql "hey clan" LOL
@candle "wassup tribe"
@tcql I've found my go-to

@tcql I had attempted to use "folks" as a gender-neutral term in verbal conversation, but it didn't go over well, hm.
@tcql I got hey bosom buddies. I like it.
@tcql What if we just adopted ”hey geese” in general use? 🤣
