"Guys"

[HertsBiker]

WTF is this rubbish americanism doing in the UK? hey you guys... or the parent talking to their lippy offspring "come on guys, lets go to maclardies". Does anyone else find it sickening (sick as in the UK version of sick which means nauseating) ??
And why do parents insist of talking to their kids as if they are friends? THEY AREN'T. They are your spawn and they should respect you, be afraid of you, not be allowed to walk all over you. And certainly they are not GUYS. And the same for manager speak. You're my boss, don't try to fool me into thinking you are a friend. Bah.

It is a cringe making word when used in the context you describe.

So I have to have a boring relationship with my folks?

We act as friends, go to see a film or do pub quiz's etc. I still have the up most respect for them, but also get to enjoy their company.

Or have I missed the point?

Yep, hate it. Hate when people, especially girls, call other people "Guys" especially girls.

If that makes any sense whaatsoever.

I also hate the term "No problem" when someone says it to mean "It's ok".
Most of the time they are lying and it is actually a fiucking problem but they're just too spineless to say so.

Oh the joy. Thank fk I'm getting on a plane out of here in a couple of hours.
