I'm a fan of chaps.

Chaps and Chapesses

The point is to have a form of collective address that doesn't distinguish between two genders

The leather trousers popular in 'leather' venues?

Anyway, 'fellow powerless minions' sounds OK.

I've been trying to think what I say and I have just realised that it's "folks". I got that from my Dad, who I suspect got it from all his Irish relatives. But when I say it, I suspect it sounds just awful.

If they're from Belfast you could call them 'yousuns'.

I don't know about yousuns, but I need a wee drink.

i use folks as well.

i used to be a bit more inventive/rude, but i now work in a place infested with Americans and they just don't get any kind of toilet, sex or abuse based humour.

a bloke i used to work with called any kind of gathering 'swimmers'. it was some time before he was rumbled...

One of my pet hates is "colleagues". I particularly dislike it when a supermarket gives a "colleague announcement". What is wrong with "staff anouncement"?

A co-worker used to address the rest of us as "children", which I found particulary annoying.
