An old boss of mine started most group conversations with "right then you cunts..." and it was set the tone straight away. No bullshit, no egos, and no dragging on the conversation. Top fella actually, one of the best leaders I've had. We were his cunts, and he was our better-paid cunt.
We had another bloke who was a proper cockney boy. If you were in his good books, you were a "geezer", and if you'd ruined his day then you were a "slaaaaag".
I'm guilty of addressing my squad from my very junior managerial position as "alright my dudes", which on the surface of it sounds very male-leaning, but I think since the 90s "dude" has become as gender-neutral as they come.

I call everyone nerds, and yall may think, not everyone is a nerd. Wrong.
Remember that jock from the football team, ask them about about sports betting. You will get a better lesson in sports statistics than you would by taking a college class. Everyone is a nerd about something.

You know which grain of wood you can glue together and which way it should curve to not trap moisture and rot? Nerd.

I use "hi team", "hi everyone", "hi all", or simply, "good morning/afternoon".

I think it might have survived in the east coast working class.
It’s primarily a northern british (north of england, scotland, maybe ireland) lower classes thing. It got big in australia cuz well the original settlers were mostly just british prisoners (which is almost always lower class peoples).
I guess it also lowkey survived in lower class New England? Boston NYC?
