"Folks"?

• Jtsummers 10y ago
  That's one I often use. It's truly gender-neutral. "Alright folks, let's get this meeting started." vs "Alright guys, let's get this meeting started."

  That has slipped into my vocabulary. I moved to Norway, and started learning Norwegian. Folk is one of the words for people, and has some other uses too. And it crept into my English vocabulary. I think I sound weird when I use it sometimes, but you are the first to point it out :)

    I always think of Pete Seeger when I say it.
