They just say “you guys” up here. Seems to work just as well.

  "Guys" isn't gender neutral though.

    Its modern usage is largely neutral, especially in "you guys". I hear both women and men refer to groups of either women or men using "you guys" or "hey guys".

    I mean...you can just say "you all" which is what "y'all" is supposed to abbreviate.

  Maybe, but the second person plural possessive is way easier with the former. Y'all's vs, what, you guys'? When I lived in the midwest I frequently heard "your guys's", which doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

  Using the yooper "You's guys" boosts your IQ by about 50 points btw - a proven fact.
