I seriously doubt anyone is saying hey guys to a group of people to be offensive.


You know intent doesn't matter to the perpetually offended.

What sort of timorous and hypersensitive human being actually frets about these sorts of common linguistic ambiguities?

As always, the South leads the charge for being inclusive.

Is bitch a gender neutral pronoun?


Well, when addressing a group you would need the plural form, "bitches."

Lol. Digging up old shite. Lazy minds. Lazy thoughts. Although, I will admit it takes some effort to be this absurd.

Aren't I always hearing about how the meaning of words and symbols has changed over time. This is one of them.

reddit has appropriated “y’all”


I love it when they get blowback from Incels for using "y'all."

Even people from up North can't deny that "yall" checks all the boxes.

One syllable, all inclusive.
The South is light years ahead on these issues.

I wish those backwards northerners would catch up.

We use a broken-arse, chimera language optimized for poetry and lyrics, instead of being optimized for reporting and interrogation.

Are you really, even surprised or shocked? We should all know better than this.
