For once we southerners are ahead of the curve.
Except since that is the southern term, it is inherently racist. Because slavery.

Its a Yankee thing. North of the Mason Dixon line its "you guys."

I think in some places, it's Yinz or you-uns if you slow it down. Like "what are yinz doing later?"

Remember, if you're not offended or not complaining about something regularly, you're not being progressive enough.

You know Y'all that saying that "you guys" can't be applied to women or people who look like women sounds rather mysoginist and homophobic, don't you think? Those people (or is that politically correct since many of us are part Neanderthal or Denosivan) sound like they need to go to sensitivity training.
