    Fun use of “boys” has been really popular for quite some time. Me and the boys. Boys will be boys.

      ‘Guys’ even tho the singular is used to mean a man, is really an a-gendered plural

        I hear almost daily how the older secretary and HR women call the workers “boys”, I think it’s quite endearing but tbh it doesn’t have the same history of belittling really.
