I originally thought about “and everyone in between”, but it does not sit well with me.
Odo uses “Ladies and gentleman, and androgynous beings”, or something to that effect in a very early episode of Deep Space Nine.
I’m from kentucky so I just say “Howdy yall”
I can’t remember where I heard it, but: “ladies and gentlemen, and those who know better.”
Some of my favorites:
Esteemed bastards
Sup sluts
Ladies and gentlethems
Hello everyone
Guys gals and nonbinary creatures
Friends, enemies, and those I don’t know yet;
It bothers me you didn’t end the last one with “pals.”
I also have stuck in my mind:
Guys, gals, and other pals
German show host Jan Böhmermann used to adress his audience with “and everyone in between”. Recently he switched to “and everyone beyond”.
I feel like we could drop the whole ladies and gentlemen formula though.
Came here to mention Böhmermann, but I only remember hearing “und alle dazwischen und außerhalb” = “and everyone in between and outside”; what are the originals of yours?
Dearest and gentlest people gathered here today
A non gendered introduction of some kind
LISTEN TO ME PEOPLE OF THE EARTH
To borrow from the YouTube channel Ceave Gaming,
“Gentle ladies, Gentle men, and Gentle people in general.”
From the movie Kinky Boots (awesome movie btw), “Ladies, Gentlemen, and those are yet to make up your mind”
OI CUNTS!!!
I see someone is fluent in Australian.
“ladies, gentlemen and cyborgs” thanks Zack Friedman
“fine folk and scoundrels”
“those who want me or want to be me”
It was actually watching a Zack Friedman video that made me think of this question.
My fellow ___,
Dear siblings,
Y’all,
I was always partial to kenji alt lopez’ “guys, gals and non-binary pals” phrase
Just “Esteemed guests” or “Distinguished guests”.
Or if you insist, “Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone else gathered here tonight:”
That could be interpreted as an insult.
Distinguished guests
