Limp Bizkit was ahead of its time for inclusive language. I identify as someone who doesn’t give a f*ck, and I felt very seen because of this lyric. 💜
Someone at work said we should use “folks”… But I’m not a Loony Tunes ending screen.
I call everyone nerds, and yall may think, not everyone is a nerd. Wrong.
Remember that jock from the football team, ask them about about sports betting. You will get a better lesson in sports statistics than you would by taking a college class. Everyone is a nerd about something.
More comprehensive, yes. But everything will only superficially resemble probability (or worse, statistics), without any idea zeroing on the real thing.
Alternatively, you can ask a crystal-hippie about quantum mechanics. Oh, well… we have LLMs nowadays, you can ask them anything.
Another common one is “y’all” but I’m not American enough to pull that off.
Ironically yall is from the south too
Yeah the south of England. It’s just another word Y’all gave us and then abandoned like soccer.
Man, (neutral), southern is preferable for usage of y’all, but most people can pull it off. Edit: somehow forgot to type the most important part. Have some god damn faith.
but are those cheese bags endorsed by a dashing celebrity chef?
I’m glad to see a chef excellence comment here
For the formal occasion: “Ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between …”
I always like to say “in between and beyond”, for all our friends off the standard gender spectrum :)
Even better!
As a joke, I’d probably say something like “and all the other ones”. Hope that isn’t offensive or something.
Isn’t that the gay cowboy that has a tiger exposition?
That the first Trump administration mascot. I’m surprised he hasn’t been made wildlife secretary for this term
Howdy, boils and ghouls!
I usually use the most benign and conservative of phrases… S’up whores!
guys, gals, and pals
Oh, man, I’m pretty decent at this. Man is a favorite of mine. You may be thinking “that’s not neutral”. To that I say, yuh huh. Pardner, obviously said in some kind of Arthur Morgan impression (quality irrelevant). Buddy, if you want to be dismissive, as in “Yeah, sure buddy”. Bitch, to be used with close colleagues. Also somehow gender neutral. Diva is pretty universal. It has the added plus as a quick little homophobia check. Girliepop, similar usage as diva. Pookie/ pookie bear, to be used with close friends and partners.
I normally go " what up fellow hooman"
By brother uses apes.
