Conversely, if you call a group of men "ladies" you're being playfully derisive...
- toomanybeersies 8y agoIn romance languages (French, Spanish, Italian...) it's considered standard for a collective group of males and females to be referred to by the male pronoun. A group of exclusively females gets referred to with a female pronoun. I guess the same applies to "guys".
