Which sounds rad as fuck. Like how you’d open a speech for the Guild of Calamitous Intent.
Wouldn’t the opposite technically be “Gentlemen and Ladies”?
My husband has served as an MC for a few fetish or counter-cultural events, and he likes to open with "Welcome, theydies and gentlethem!
I would also argue that “whores and scoundrels” is more inclusive. You can be either one regardless of your parts or gender identity.
After further ruminating on this thought:
Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you’re crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us… In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a whore, and a scoundrel, and a rascal, a ne’er-do-well, and a villain… Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Guild of Calamitous Intent.
One of my favorite insults is to exclude someone from these classes by simply saying their name afterwards:
“Good morning gentlemen, Steve.”
Bitches & Bastards?
