I was gonna post it to either you or Freddie, whoever came first while I was scrolling back, so it was Freddie, but I thought you'd like it, too. I do call groups of women, or mixed groups, "you guys," myself, but Northern Virginia isn't really the South, except for the weather.

<<That's great! A favorite of mine was when a cousin's boyfriend came stumbling through the door and exclaimed, "What a drive! The roads are slicker'n owl shit!" >>

Uh we have that in the Midwest also. Owl shit = black ice. Actually pigeon shit is slicker than owl shit which has bones, feathers and fur in it.
