I don't think 'guys' just refers to males.
- seanmcdirmid 11y agoGuy Fawkes was male, and there is a feminine equivalent gals, but I think guys is slowing moving over into gender neutral territory (it wasn't when I was a kid, but times change).

- david-given 11y agoIt's a cultural thing and varies hugely depending on which country you're in. In my bit of Britain it's quite common for groups of women to refer to themselves as 'guys'.
- smt88 11y agoIn the US, it depends heavily on context. "The guys" or "those guys" almost always implies males. Same with any singular usage of the word "guy". "You guys" is the only usage that can refer to a mixed-gender group. Obviously, that isn't how GP used it.
