Earthling...Terran - I don't care how awkward it sounds. It's awkward for me to change might as well make it awkward for everyone.
Edit: just me being cranky... Normally I go out of my way to make people feel accepted.
What's up carbon based earthlings.
Dude its OK for me because you Know, the dude.
Pacifist as fuck, its a good name then. I don't feel it like man, etc. Even the majority when using it don't think about lebowski.
If i name someone dude, there is more than "man" behind. But I'm maybe wrong ?
Edit : oh sorry realized plurials.
People fine for me, its just an habit to change really. Or hey guys and girls or better, hey girls and guys 😂
But as non English speaker I could use dude for the group, and a my lady for her, if there is an fellow trans with me. Not others ofc. Will check thé answers for real lol
Potential litigants
I like what they use on the Bananas Podcast. "Guys, gals, and non-binary pals."
It depends on who you’re talking to. Many people don’t care about saying “guys” as it’s so universal. However, if you’re unsure or meeting new people, that’s where you’d likely want to change it up.
Hey friends! (This can be used for strangers too) What’s happening my peeps? Hello everyone! Hope you both have a good weekend
Or just What’s up? Hiya! Hey [insert their name]
Guys is probably the most neutral of the ones you mentioned.
I've found a lot of success using pal for the individual and folk for the group. Such as "Jesse is my pal", or "Hey folks."
....oh shit. Palworlds a thing now. Don't use pal.
"YOU PEOPLE" 😂 I'm kidding
People here are not understanding that language changes with location
"Hello, losers"
Fellas
edit: please correct me if you believe I am wrong, I am open to discussion.
I've heard the term fellas used a lot specifically to delineate something as gendered. "It's for the fellas" = "It's a dude thing"
