One thing I really dislike when I'm in a pub or restaurant with my wife is a waiter asking "what can I get you guys?". My usual response is to say that last time I looked my wife was definitely NOT a guy. It's an age thing I guess. I think this is something of an Americanism which the British have picked up on from watching too many American TV programmes!

In terms of reference to "Guys" in the context highlighted, this was prevalent when I paid a visit to Australia a few years ago.

A single word can't be a phrase so forgive me my indulgence but I've developed pet peeves for 'bro', 'bruh', 'bruv' and of course the now ancient 'lol' and its effeminate sibling 'lolz'. Speakers of which should be lightly slapped across the face with fresh fish.
