Says the guy who thinks that slavery was anti-capitalism.  There's NO empirical data to support that contention.
DSTChaos isn't a liberal.

I have to admit, macallan, that 'round here if you use "guys" like that, people will assume you've been spending too much time up North. It's considered yankee-speak.

When I was in middle school, my parents used to get on to me for saying "you guys", saying I'd been corrupted by my Yankee invader friends at school ...  I don't think I've said it too much ever since.

^^^^^^^LOL, mine too. I think they were sure that the use of "guys" or "you guys" (unless it was, in fact, addressed to a group of males) was a sign that the TV needed to be turned off before I picked up anymore foreign expressions.

I made the mistake of saying "you guys" in front of my cousin's freinds in Dyersburg, TN. They immediatly stopped what they were doing and turned and looked at me and said "Ya'll from Chicago, ain't ya'll?" Well, Peoria, IL...close enough.

I say "you guys" all the time.
Is spending too much time up North a bad thing?

Not at all. I say it all the time, even if I am addressing a group of females. My intent isn't to degrade or anything like that. I just feel weird saying "Hey ladies!, or "Hey, you girls". Saying "hey guys and gals" or anything like that is just dorky, no matter how politically correct I'm supposed to pretend to be.

Yes. Your accent is excruciating, butch, loud, and not very lady like.
Sorry, can you tell I really don't like the NJ guido type accents?

Yes.
Seriously, not necessarily a bad thing, but not something to work toward either. The Southerner may leave the South, but the South should never leave the Southerner.

Maybe it's a Texas thing, which would explain why the rest of us haven't paid much attention to it.

Well, to quote a great song about Texas, "Our accents are the drawliest, our howdies are the y'alliest"-- not really THAT much you guys-ing going on there.

^^^^ Apparently there's a fair amount of "you guys" going on in the part of Texas where Macallan lives.
