@Etoile308 I think what @Johnnyeager was talking about is the constant responses on past threads where people are told to "change the channel" whenever there's a complaint about a host or anything else on the Q. It (like a lot of other sayiings) has become old and tired IMO. My opinion on it is this is a message board/forum where many things are discussed----especially stuff pertaining to QVC which of course includes hosts. And sure, maybe not everything should be pointed out, but what do you think SHOULD be discussed?

"You guys" is definitely not relegated or native to the Northeast. I was born in Los Angeles and raised in Orange County and am a third generation Californian. We grew up saying "you guys". It's a very common colloquialism in California.
I recommend a fun and interesting book which amazingly pinpoints where someone is from (state and region of the state) based on the words that we use. It's called SPEAKING AMERICAN How Y'all, Youse, and You Guys Talk - A Visual Guide By Josh Katz. It's a great coffe table book and has maps of the U.S. shaded in for different words and phrases where you can see the preponderance of where they are spoken. On page 27 is the map specifically showing the states that say "you guys", "y'all" or "you all"(Kentucky) and notes that 30% of the people in Pittsburgh and its surroundings would say "yins".

They complain about people complaining, but I guess its okay to complain about what people post........🤔????? Maybe some should skip the thread, perhaps!!!
