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
“Ladydudes” is the way to go.
Gentlemen and gentle women.
Dudes and Dudettes
Ya’ll
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
This is fake and gay. Literally
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
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
Dude is also genderless.
I’m a dude. He’s a dude. She’s a dude. We’re all dudes!
And The Dude abides
Dude for me is genderless, but it’s not a label everyone can fit into, you gotta be chill.
If they don’t abide, they lack dudeness
I worked at a university and I heard women call each other “bro” all the time.
Depends on the context.
“Hey Brian, were you making out with a dude last night!?”
“Haha, no, that was Annie, she’s a chick, she just has short hair.”
Dude(s) and Guy(s) can be gender neutral or male-only. Girl can mean a female child, or it can mean a woman, depending on the context.
That means it’s not gender neutral, it just means you use male as a default in most contexts.
Its gener neutral male leaning and is context specific. Like bastard or fucker.
“Bastard” is what you call “male leaning” because it was used for male children born outside of marriage who therefore couldn’t inherit titles.
It wasn’t used much for girls cause they couldn’t inherit titles anyway, so it didn’t matter.“Fucker” is “male leaning” cause women were historically not seen as doing the fucking. They were fucked.
I feel like it’s a PhD thesis material
Only in the right class.
Dude is a network monitoring tool as well.
Nah, that’s the dude
but am i a dude?
No.
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.
The only two things the South got right were “y’all” and biscuits and gravy.
Yous.
“You” used to be that word, but mfs didn’t wanna say “thou” anymore so “you” has to pull double duty now
What about youse?
Yousa bombad, meesa like muy muy!
I hate you with every fiber of my being
I’ve always been fond of “yinz”, despite never having been to Pittsburgh
Yinz welcome to try our chipped ham ‘n’at regardless
Heys youse guys!
Youse mugs
In parts of the south “y’all” is singular. “All y’all” is plural.
What?
Y’all is a really good pronoun and I think more people should use it.
It makes everyone sound American. This is sometimes okay.
