Edit: I made the question gendered by using the word guys. I've fixed my mistake.
[–] Montagge@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (2 children) I wonder why the male form of a pair of words would be considered to be usable for everyone permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] oo1@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Words literally change their meaning over time and social context. I think "guy" used to mean just "a rope" until some fellow named Guy tried to blow up some nobs in London. I think both "guy (rope/guideline)" and the name "Guy (Guido)" might origiate from the same basic word "guide" . I don't think it's always clear why changes happen, people just use it differently and if a new usage spreads widely and becomes common, then the new usage may get added into some dictionaries. I quite like "RobWords" on youtube - 'tho I'm not sure if he has covered this one specficaly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Montagge@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago Maybe we shouldn't do that when it's rooted in sexism permalink fedilink source parent [–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago “Hey, you guuuyyyyssss” permalink fedilink source parent
