@0x56 I used to say "guys," but discovered that it offends some people. So I'm trying to train myself into terms that everyone is cool with. @Dashdrum

I find that "y'all", "shitsquibs" or "wankers" work even better when people start getting offended over "guys" or "folks".. I mean, why not go all in. ;)
