Considering we have people in Australia who genuinely believe we have a constitution with free speech enshrined there's worse things we can import from America than a word.

Capitalism, for one.

Pretty sure guys is non gendered these days. Everyone says guys and I don't it's even a blip on the radar.

Ask any of your male (straight) friends if they gently caress guys and that will let you know if its gendered or not.

Come on mate, you know context changes the word completely. Its shortform and casual slang to address a group of people and sure it didn't used to be but its basically like non-english speaking countries still using "Hello" or "poo poo", "gently caress" ect.

They are short words that are fun to say in any country and the meaning is universally known. I can sit at a table full of Chinese people and short universal english words are thrown into spoken mandarin sentences by today's youth because short cool english words have cross cultural power - including across the microcultures between genders.

It's still gendered, some people just don't give a poo poo because it's pretty low on the scale of violence.

Some people do care that you use it so I try and keep my language gender neutral if possible.
