Meanwhile in Ireland: females of all ages address 100% groups of females as 'lads' and it's fine.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

i am just speaking in general and how presumptuous of any individual to "quote" me
i do not like to be "quoted" because it implies that somehow my words are part of my identity
they are not

In government for at least the last 20 years, it's most often "People" (not you people, btw), "Folks" or "Everyone". People is most often used in a military environment in my experience.

Guy is 100% gender neutral IMO.

Anyone bothered by it is a fucking idiot, considering plenty of women call one another guys.

But you can literally say You guys to a group of all women and still be using the term correctly. Twitter is probably just being stupid like always

Unless someone says they don't like it, then of course I won't as I'm not a dick.
