What are the alternatives here?

People... As in people-of-Britain is a bit poncy and wide ranging.

Ladies and gentlemen... is a bit formal.

Guys and gals? Hm.

You lot over there! ... A bit aggressive.

Vertebraes of this room... can work as a one-off joke, but what do say the next time?

Just thought on another,

Ending a sentence with "so".......................

So what? you think I will get the meaning of what your saying thus saving the other person the trouble of explaning in more detail what they are talking about?

Two come to mind.......

People who say "Are you inferring...?" When actually what they mean is "implying".

And people who add an adjective to the word "unique".....like "completely unique" or "almost unique"......something is either unique or it isn't.

....call me padantic..
