People really dont understand how languages work. Even brother and man can be gender neutral. If you say “man, whyd you do that” thats gender neutral. Same with dude and guy.
Bro y u so wrong
Thats a joke right? Because youre getting downvoted, but you yourself called me bro without knowing my gender so it must be a joke or youre the most oblivious person ive ever seen.
I definitely use “guy” as gender neutral. I used to refer to women as “dude” as well, but it was a bit controversial so I stopped
I’m a dude. He’s a dude. She’s a dude. We’re all dudes!
“Ladydudes” is the way to go.
Gentlemen and gentle women.
if someone called me that, I would immediately throw up
Hey, ladydude !
i was able to make it to the bathroom in time. this time…
Evolution
Dudes and Dudettes
Ya’ll
If you must use a redneckism then at least put the apostrophe in the right place.
You can’t tell me what to do. (But you are still correct…)
This is fake and gay. Literally
Yeah, 20 dudes is rookie numbers
This is a good joke but it really lets itself down by switching from “guys” to “dudes” when it’s about the former word…
Real and gay
I always “y’all” and I’m not even from the south.
Y’all gives modern English the second person plural it would otherwise be missing
In Ireland it’s still very common to use ‘ye’ for you plural.
Hear ye, hear ye.
What about youse?
I’ve always been fond of “yinz”, despite never having been to Pittsburgh
Yinz welcome to try our chipped ham ‘n’at regardless
Yousa bombad, meesa like muy muy!
I hate you with every fiber of my being
“You” used to be that word, but mfs didn’t wanna say “thou” anymore so “you” has to pull double duty now
Yous.
The only two things the South got right were “y’all” and biscuits and gravy.
In parts of the south “y’all” is singular. “All y’all” is plural.
What?
“Would ya’ll like a soda?” Vs. “Would all ya’ll like a soda?” - one of these means everyone shares one soda, the other means each person gets their own - but I don’t know which is which :O
Y’all is a really good pronoun and I think more people should use it.
It makes everyone sound American. This is sometimes okay.
